Congratulations, Pepe, on being POTD! You are sooooo adorable and precious! (We cavies!) We are heartbroken to hear about Caramel's sad, preventable death. GPs (cavies) must live indoors with their human family - they are not wild, they are pets. They are more sensitive to heat and cold than humans are. Please research the proper care and nutrition of GPs (cavies). And, please find a knowledgable veterinarian before you need one. Sending best wishes to Pepe for a continued healthy, happy and safe life! http://www.guineapigsrfun.net
