Yeah, I read that too! I am hoping that we can be ready for some by then, and I can convince my hubby for us to go meet her. I doubt it, but I am going to try! I was hoping to find someone close to us, but I guess there aren't any on here that are selling. If anyone knows of someone, please let them know I am searching, thank you.Sunny & the 5 egg layers said:You are welcome. I found this on her website:

I think that's terrific. Guinea pig rescue. Perfect...
You should do what you want to do.
Or as I tell my granddaughter, be your own woman.
Other people will always want to tell you what to do...Now some of it is well meaning advice, some of it is from people who are controling.
If caring and taking care of others is your personality, be happy, because giving is much more rewarding than taking all the time.

Thank you. I am a little nervous about this. I am doing a lot of research today. This is definatly something that I want to do, and I am sure it's going to make me feel so good about it. Well, once I get it going.

I saw this girl on tv a while back that had guinea pigs and besides their cages she had a large flat table with something like 6 to 8 inch walls all around it, that she would put her guinea pigs in to run around and play and exercise. It was pretty cool looking. I don't remember all the details of her set up, but I remember thinking that I was surprised that the guinea pigs would get a long.
I love GP's, so cute.

Yeah, they are called C&C cages. I am planning on building one for the rescue. I am so excited. It is going to be as long as our table. I have cages for the new ones that will come in. So that way I can make sure that they are healthy. Oh I am so excited, and then I get nervous. I love guinea pigs too. They are so much fun and so cute!20kidsonhill said:

as I was reading this thread I thought it was odd nobody had mentioned small animals since the bigger ones were a long shot. I was going to suggest mice or rabbits. I have both and they are fun little critters. And, we get meat from the rabbits, which makes it beneficial in more than one way. But, yeah, guinea pigs are cool too! And a rescue should be really a nice and fufilling challenge for you. Are you planning on seeking out GPs that need help or are you going to just be open if someone needs to get rid of one? Are you going to adopt them out when they are healthy and ready or just keep them?

We were thinking of doing meat rabbits, but it gets really hot in our back yard during the summer. I read that rabbits don't do well in heat. I hope that it will be. I am posting on CL, putting up fliers and talking to people. Pretty much anything. I am going to adopt them out. The only way that DH would agree to me doing this.DKRabbitry said:

We will be keeping Samore and Marshmellow though. They are our pets. I just want to help the other guinea pigs. People just buy them on a whim and don't do any research. 
They get them home and find out this is too much, and want to dump them any where. SmallFarmGirl is helping me out, she is making a website for me. 
She is too nice. So if anyone knows something else that I can do for the rescue, I am all ears.Melanchaweiz

I'm a newbie here on backyardherds.
I love to crochet. I had bought this circle loom knitting kit. It's really easy to learn and you can make scarves in no time at all with it.
You could try cross stitching if you have tons of patience.
You could take up painting.
Gardening is great how about canning?
I like making candles & tarts. (Plan to try soapmaking eventually).
I like to design things & make clothing & sewing it myself. I even bought a felting machine & it is lots of fun.
You could try quilting (I haven't yet but maybe in the future).
My favorite hobby is making wooden portraits. I design a portrait of something or someone & using woodworking tools I cut it out in a piece of wood. I take another piece of wood & paint it black & glue it onto the back of the portrait for support & to make the holes stand out in black.
I am a very artist & creative person. Without a way to express that I don't know how I could live life.
I have heard spinning is great.
Lots of things can seem overwhelming at first but most hobbies take practice.
The more you learn the more options you have.
I have just this yr gotten into homesteading. Learning to garden & can foods. I started a couple bee hives & vermiculture (have about 13,000 red wigglers so far). I'm starting to study using herbs & such as medicine. Hopefully this coming up spring I will be getting a half dozen chickens & a couple Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats.
I also enjoy scuba diving, kayaking, & riding the motorcycle.
I would rather live my life with too much to do than to be bored & thinking I could have done more.
Best wishes,
Meli
