Congratulations, Oreo, on being POTD! You are adorable! It is true, small animals are not pets for small children so we're so glad your adult human mother is your best friend! Best wishes for a long, happy, healthy, fun, safe life, Sweetie! (There are many poisons and predators outdoors - please stay INDOORS where it's SAFE!) http://www.guineapigsrfun.net
