These were all the facts that I read up on, but I know more people don’t know these. Great blog!
Thank you! You’re a long time owner so you know these, but some newer owners would have some new things.
That was so fun!! Next could you do guinea pig sickness and how to help them? I think also if new owners could use that. I love reading these they make me happy ^^
