Not that it needs justification, but there are further reasons I can readily think of - it will teach my 7 yo daughter some responsibility (at least for a week) and also in about 4 years time it will give her some idea what losing a loved one is like.
Pogle jr has sole responsibility for her piggies, she feeds them and cleans them out, we do occasionally help her. They live in a massive cage in her bedroom and have a run in the garden for when its sunny. We also let them run free in the garden - its not very big and the piggies are too dumb to try and escape!
They love the garden and run round popcorning all over the place - very cute.
How many are you getting? - boys or girls?I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
Pogle is awarded +5 Xeno Geek Points.

Ours are 2 boys currently 5 weeks old - it will be a long week for us until collecting them! We started the hunt at the pet shops, but by chance ended up visiting an author & reknowned breeder of the red dutch variety.
Our 2 do not have the right markings for show stock, hence the sale. To be honest, I can't believe there are guinea pig shows - you just have to smile/laugh looking at them I wouldn't be able to take it seriously.
Nice big cage, http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/rodent...rat_cage/95868. And of course we have got an outdoor and indoor run to stretch their legs a bit."take me to your leader"Comment
