Ok, so I am a day late! OOPS!
We ended up making a happy ending out of a sad story. Yesterday, our pet rat, Alice passed away. She was one of 2, last year the other rat, Esme, passed on as well. Rats don’t live long, about 3-5 yrs, and these rats were about 3-4yrs of age when they passed.
I searched Craigslist for fun yesterday, since Abby has been wanting a guinea pig, but we told her it had to be after Alice died. So yeah, she didn’t wait long before wanting to look for a piggie. I ended up finding 2 pigs on craigstlist. She had EVERYTHING, cage, food, toys, etc, and the 2 pigs, all for a rehoming fee of only $20. Well, the cage alone is about $70 so we knew we coudn’t pass it up. I emailed her with questions and we went back and forth discussing their behaviors, size of the cage, etc. We settled on taking them and this morning she brought them over. They are so cute!! Hermes, is the older, larger one, he’s about 4 yrs old and Dexter is the younger, smaller one, he’s only about a year old. They haven’t been in the cage much at ALL LOL! Abby is obsessed with them. I hope it lasts. I hope that in a month or 2 they don’t loose interest in them. The dog doesn’t know what to think!! You’ll see that in the photos below.
So, without any more delay…meet Hermes and Dexter!!
