Possibility we will be acquiring a couple of guinea pigs when we return from our holiday in a few weeks time.
We've been thinking about getting another pet for some time, since our dog was pts last year 
Can't have another dog atm (yearning for one) due to work commitments.
As we were mulling over what we would possibly like in our lives right now, a friend announced that she is giving her young GP away, lack of interest from the dc. She will be giving them away with the cage, run, indoor cage etc.
I will be giving her a firm answer when we return from holiday but until then a few questions (never kept GP).
What do we need each week for them. Hay, bedding, food, toys etc. What kind of costs does this amount to? How often do you clean them out? How long can they be left for (talking 8 hours) do they love cuddles (I need something to cuddle).
In other words, tell me about your GP and what we can expect from them.
I'm secretly excited but still unsure.
