Dexter the guinea pig has arrived!

Hello Dexter.
You are very cute.
Welcome to GoY. :o)

awwwww hes lovely

Aww hes a cutie

Adorable! I love the way they "wee wee week" when you open the fridge door - doesn't take them long to know where the greens come from, lol!

Hi Dexter :) hes lovely Gillian does he have a Friend ? they like company &become unhappy if alone !

Hannah intends to spend lots of time with him, but I'm not sure what her plans are re. getting another one.

Im Sure she`l share lots of Happy Hours with him Gillian :)Guinpigs do love People &the company of own kind :) We have 2 Guinpigs"Fizz&Liqrich"which are great Buddys :) Did have 3 But sadly Flump died back in June this yr :/ Our vet told Us they need2 be kept in Groups as we started out with just Fizz! &got other2from RSPCA RECUE CENTRE for a small donation as they had Lots that needed rehomeing which is Cheaper than any pet shop & all for a good course :)

We've had our share of rescue animals over the years, used to foster dogs for the humane society and the last rabbit Hannah owned was a rescue animal. She really wanted to get a very young animal this time around so it would bond with her well, many of the rescue animals have a lot of issues to be worked through and her rabbit never did really accept her as well as she hoped. Hannah works weekends and holiday times at a boarding kennels where she gets to practice her dog training skills and has worked with some quite difficult dogs. I think she wanted something at home that was easier to work with.
She is seriously considering going back to the pet store to buy one of Dexter's brother's, since if you have two males together they need to have grown up together to lessen the risk of fighting.
Sorry to hear Flump died, do you have any pictures up of the other two?

Yes their all on my pages some where Gillian :)Your daughter sounds Super :) its great 2 hear of youngsters caring so much as many dont:/ My 2teenager are Animal lovers just like myself&u Gillian :)
