A story I've written about owning guinea pigs for the first time. A heart warming pet story for all ages!

normal for guinea pigs.  When we pick one up, the other piggie will 
know it is her turn next.  She will hide in every place possible so she 
won't be picked up but once we do pick her up, she will calm down and 
be ready for floor time that guinea pigs need out of their cage for 
exercise. They will play and run in and out of a tunnel on the floor 
which is so cute to watch.  Oh yes, they love chewing on the box as 
well which is good for filing down their teeth which constantly grow. 

One of the funniest moments we've had with our piggies was when we put a
large carrot on the floor and took them out of their cage to see their 
reaction.  Oh my God!  They started having a tug-of-war, grabbing it 
from one another and constantly grabbing it from each other's mouths.  
It was so hilarious to watch that we were laughing hysterically with 
tears in our eyes.  We just had to video tape their performance, and 
posted it up on YouTube.  It can be viewed by goggling “Melody & 
Harmony (Our Guinea Pigs”).  If you want a good laugh, it's certainly 
entertaining and worth watching! 

If anyone is concerned about getting a dog, I highly recommend guinea
pigs as the next best pet to a dog.  They are like little puppies when 
you hold them and so loving.  They are very smart little animals, and 
once they get to know and trust you, they are wonderful to have as pets 
which we have experienced for the first time owning our guinea pigs.  
They are like having little babies, and that's exactly how you have to 
care for them.  Of course I would recommend getting two piggies of the 
same sex, as they are very sociable animals and will tend to get lonely 
or depressed if you only have one guinea pig.  Eventually, they will 
out smart you and will be very demanding in a very nice cute way!  They 
are certainly entertaining pets we have adopted.  We just love our two 
piggies, Harmony and Melody!
