Congratulations, Alexa, on being POTD! You are a beautiful, independent, precious lady! Please tell your human parent that you should NOT be "swimming," which, sadly, has been fatal to many, many cavies. I've been a cavy/GP parent for over 30 years and GPs do NOT enjoy swimming; if they are in water, they will swim for survival only, not enjoyment. Best wishes for a long, happy, healthy, fun, safe life, Sweetie! http://www.guineapigsrfun.net
