New pet

James K

Hi,

Today I heartely visited the RSPCA and then had to be turned away because they were closed.

Having decided to buy a cat, I felt the need to really be secure in my decision.

I decided on a cat that was loving in return. Potential for some good adventures with my cat indoors for a few weeks. Fully ready.

Lots Of love

James

  • Hi,

    Possibly. But it's likely they feel guinea pigs and other small animals are classed as disposable pets- so they make you have the guinea pig go into surgery just to cover themselves. They don't understand the bond that can happen with the piggy and it's mummy. The guinea pig magazine is trying to change this and help vets and society understand that piggies truely are amazing pets and it aims to educate vets too. i have a couple of my piggies pictures and one or two of my letters published in their re-stones e.t.c the same re bunny mad magazine. i understand your cinicism and that you woud like to teak a break from being a piggy slave for a while- i'd be the same. Slowly things are changing with some vets wanting to do the rodentology course with the cambridge cavy trust. But i think if the vet isn't so good with them, either go to people that are, or find a vet that will listen to the information you have taken into the consultation.

    My piggies are adorably lovely, and they do have an element of cheekyness.  have cried with laughter at the guinea pig magazine sometimes, with the way they have highlited the piggies-too adorable.

    It sounds like your beardie is so happy to be one of your family members.It's nice being knowledgable about animals. And that you made such an effort to understand all about him. i know what you mean about feeding the live bugs- i once had to feed a pet i looked after chicks and it broke my heart- i found it terrible to do. i still hate the thought of it, but if it's their natural food, then  just had no choice.
