Update on the rescued guinea pig!! (In body text)
I first want to say thank you to everyone for the support and great advice! It does have a tiny scratch on its back, so I called a couple vets this morning and only one had an exotic veterinarian. Sadly he doesn’t work until Monday. Other than the scratch, it’s doing pretty good! He’s active, hungry and loves to be cuddled!! We got him some orchard hay from the brand oxbow as recommended and also got a great deal for this temporary cage, it was around $45 and it came with the bedding, bottle and a dish. Much better than the shoebox I had him in:( I do like the idea of fleece bedding more tho. The little guy has also been enjoying snacking on some 🫑,🥬, and 🥒! The cage is in a room away from the cats. Still trying to decide on whether to keep him or not, but I’m going to wait to ask the veterinarian about shelters that will take him and see from there. I will continue on providing updates and any additional advice is appreciated! Thank you again for all the help!!! 🥰🫶🏼
