I have mine in the same one as Raven..they are A LOT of work I hope you're planned for that they need a proper diet of vitamin c,veggies,and fresh water everyday if you do get one please get them a buddy of the same gender imo I have had guinea pigs since I was 11 so I will always have one(I couldn't see myself not having one)..Good luck to you is there a shelter where you can adopt one?? please adopt there are so many gps in shelters just my 2 cents. and I hope I don't offend you by all the advice I stated including adopting one it wasn't meant to sound offensive just some friendly advice and how old are you?? if you are under 18 are your parents going to let you get one and a buddy for them??
