[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all this great info on guinea pigs. My DD wants to adopt a pair. I do want to ask, is there a way to get a smaller breed? I see a few at shelters and they are huge, but then I see the ones at pet stores are smaller. Maybe they are young? I guess I wonder, do they all grow so big? Some look like bunnies![/quote] They usually aren't over 3 to 4 pounds but you are right just seeing them as babies it's not possible to tell how big they will be. If size is a concern, the best thing to do is to get a young adult - at least a year - from a shelter/rescue so you can see what their adult size is. Another reason to get them from shelter/rescue even if you get babies is they are used to be handled. They will still run off when you first try and pick them up but they will settle more quickly if they are used to being handled and held and it makes it easier for your kids to get to know them once you bring them home.[/quote]
