[Gpdd] [ANNOUNCE] New Piggies in the House!

[ussoccerpro9 at aol.com]

Hi all! I was searching the internet for guinea pig 
websites and I came across the GPDD. It sounded like fun so I thought I would 
join. I've had guinea pigs my entire life, and currently have two wonderfully 
hilarious piglets named Nutmeg (we all call her Nutty) and Zoey. I purchased 
Nutmeg from a Pet Store over a year ago. When I got her she was very ill and so 
I took it upon myself to hand feed her. She wouldn't even drink from the water 
bottle when I got her. Now she is a fat, snuggly, and very happy piggy. Zoey 
actually came from a breeder but was?considered "pet quality" and so ended up in 
a small family-run pet shop. I had hopes that they would live together (I built 
a very large cage made from storage shelving and cloroplast -?http://www.guineapigcages.com/) 
However, they do not get along in one cage! They chatter their teeth, nip at one 
another, and chase each other around. I had Nutmeg first and so?she must have 
been?jealous when I brought Zoey home. I've tried everything I can think of to 
have them live together, but for now they live with a barrier between them. Has 
anyone else had this problem? I've had guinea pigs live together in the past, 
and I know by nature they are social creatures...but Nutty really can not stand 
being with Zoey. She is so sweet to her human (and even my dog) companions, but 
with other guinea pigs she freaks out. Anyway, it's great to join a community 
that is as nutty as I am about my Nutty and Zoey. Hope to share lots of piggy 
insights!
