So yesterday me and another guinea pig enthusiast got to talk to the Homeschool Animal Rescue and Education Club that I help teach about, that's right, guinea pigs! We brought in three little "guest stars" of the show- my two guinea pigs, Ozzie and Marconi, and another guinea pig Winnie- which turned out to be one of the each type of the three most common types of guinea pigs! (that would be the Peruvian (long-haired), American (shotr-haired), and Abyssinian (crested)) We got to talk about the history and care of guinea pigs, and talk about guinea pig rescues. Though everything didn't go exactly as planned, the class was easy-going and everyone enjoyed it- especially the spoiled little pigs!
