She/he is cute but I would rather have a dog that might not happen for a few years.

Check with your local animal shelter-- a lot of times they'll have guinea pigs that are fixed, and then you can get a female (two unrelated boy pigs may not get along well but girl/girl boy/girl pairs usually go well).

Good thinking. I can check on petfinders too. There is always ppl getting rid of their pets. I am hoping I have a girl right now then I can get another girl.

Ours is still quiet and getting used to everything in her new home. My toddler is quite loud so I hope she adjusts ok.

It's totally natural that he/she is shy at first, they're always like that when their young. When you feed them lettuce or carrots, whatever they like, try feeding them by holding it in your hand and making them come out of their house to eat it. This and of course holding them will get them more comfortable with you. Lots of physcial contact and treats as rewards is the key!

Also, feel free to orgnote me if you ever have questions smile

Roasted Cuy (Guinea Pig) Recipe



Read more: http://cookeatshare.com/r...z24hHv4lUr
  • 2 lrg animals
  • 2 x red onions, minced
  • 4 x cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tsp of salt
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • annatto (for coloring)
  • 2 Tbsp. lard
  • annatto coloring
  • 2 x white onions, minced
  • 2 x cloves garlic
  • salt
  • healthy pinch of cumin
  • 1 lrg c. of roasted and grnd coffee with peanuts
  • 3 1/2 c. lowfat milk

Directions

  1. Mix ingredients well and spread over the inside and outside of the animal. Allow to marinate for up to one day to allow flavors to meld. Before roasting, remove excess marinade to avoid scalding. The spit should be inserted into the back part of the animal and exit from the jaw. Once on the stick, tie the front and back feet, stretching out the legs. Put on grill, turning manually. Continue to apply lard to the skin to avoid drying out the meat. The cuy is ready when the skin is close to bursting. Serve with boiled potatoes sprinkled with coriander, chilies, and the following peanut sauce. If your community is especially progressive, rice may be substituted for the potatoes.
  2. Peanut Dipping Sauce:Fry onions till golden, then add in other ingredients. Cook at low heat for at least half an hour.

They clean themselves just like cats. If you clean their cage and use the proper cage material, you do not smell them. I have been to ppls houses and could smell their litter boxes.

My Aunt owned birds, they smelled.
