As much as it stinks having to sell the gliders it is proving very difficult. We paid 225 for everything they came with, plus we have probably 30$ worth of stuff we bought seperate. Our asking price is the same we paid and ive had a few interested but some never call, some change their mind. I really need to find them a home. Not only are we now in a financial struggle because of raised rent and things, but now there is a new pet policy. Any pets we have, we have to pay a pet deposit for and fill out paper work on too. Not to mention Mamaws breast cancer diagnosis,my nanas lung cancer scare, and my sister being pregnant. Things are so hectic and if we cant find them a home within the next 2 weeks idk what were going to do because i start back school and will possibly have a job as well. It really is bad planning and timing on my end. But i do have a couple that might be able to pick them up this weekend. I already talked to the woman, she has to wait till her husband is back in town from a work trip before she can give me a definite answer. Ugh things are just such crap right now and its so stressful. I hope things turn around soon.

Okay so this weekend is when Trena is supposed to come get the girls .. I'm so excited/nervous.. There is just so much to get done.. I have to clean ALL of the girls cage contents, including the cage itself , and then i have to make sure all of their things are together..
THEN; For Guinea Pig preparation, we have decided to make a C&C cage. (Cubes & Coroplast) The size that we want to make it wont fit in the corner of my room the glider cage is at, so i have to move things around to make it fit. I already have it mapped out how i want it to be, and it gives me more floor space.. I'm also probably going to put some stuff in the closet so i have even more floor space... I'm really trying here, and as stressful as it is, i'm still excited about getting a guinea pig.. Before i decided i was going to take Mopsy, i did some research on Guinea Pigs because i realized I myself have never owned one. When i was younger my sister had one, but i never played with it much, and also didn't know much about them . So i set on my journey to find good guinea pig websites to look around on, and ask questions.. I found a lot.. I actually pulled up my notepad on my computer and started taking side notes, some in detail, others very brief.. I also wrote down toy ideas, and i'm very excited to make them . This weekend we also have to look for a big sheet of Coroplast to make the bottom of the cage, and im going to see about looking around Walmart and Lowes and stuff for the grids because i don't like the idea of having to buy them online, and waiting for them to get shipped here.. I've been looking forward to this all week, but I've also been dreading it..
Every other time I've ever thought about selling or giving the girls up, i get a little teary eyed , and i'm so nervous that im gonna cry a little when it comes time for Trena to take the girls home with her.. But i know its for the best so i will suck it up as much as possible.. I also wanted the guinea pig to distract me from being too sad, or bored.. because after the gliders are gone, the only pet i have it my 6 year old cat and all she does is lay around , so she's not very much fun, and she's more of daddy's girl, so she hangs around with my dad more often than me, but i don't mind..
I'm looking forward to meeting Trena in person, and giving Mopsy a good forever home.. Mopsy will be by herself for at MOST a month, my hope is no longer than that because im planning to get her a friend because i read that they like gliders, like companionship, so a Guinea Pig got added to my Christmas list so Mopsy would have a friend.. (This my dad laughed at.. A live guinea pig for a Christmas present.. now how to rap that? :D )

Anyway.. Just thought i'd get some of this out there... Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions, etc..

So finding the girls a home is more difficult than i thought. I've posted ads, and got MANY replies.. like pages worth of emails , but many of them arent very knowledgeable about gliders, or their info is wrong.
One person emailed me and was telling me all about her glider that she needed a friend for, and then explained to me her "Healthy" diet of pellets !
So i deleted the email and continued my search. I thought i;d found a real winner, even set up a day to meet, and everything. But, she no showed me ! hasnt emailed me or anything since..

Then a couple days ago, i got an email on here from a member that was interested in the girls.
Tandt1n2 emailed and said she was interested in the girls and hoped they would help out her gliders boy to girl ratio.
She also mentioned she had a guinea pig she needed to rehome..

Here is what im hoping to accomplish.
I hope to be able to sort of trade.. I emailed her back and im wanting to get more info on the guinea pig, and talk to my parents about it.
one of my worries is that transportation will ruin it all.. She lives in Indiana, and i am in Kentucky and can't drive out of town to meet her or anything.. I feel its very unfair that way though ..
I hope it all works out..
I'm excited, worried, and everything all in onee..

If anyone has any tips i'd appreciate it.

So intros went way better than i expected! But then again, i also assume worse case scenario will happen! But it was totally the opposite! They saw eachother, ran to eachother, and then continued sniffing, and then, Boogie climbed on Bellas back and started rubbing her head all over her! I'm so happy.. words cant describe it! As soon as my camera has more charge, I'll get pictures of the new cage, and the best friends in it now!

So we ordered a cage off of ebay and we just got it yesterday! I was afraid it would be awful because it was after 5, an the dont deliver on sundays, and on mondays no one is here to sign for it! But sure enough, after being in the house waiting all day... It arrived! So my dad put it together and it was a little bigger than i expected! its nearly as big as me only shy by 5-6 inches. It was one of the black 5 level deals, We arent using half of the extras that came with it and 3 of the 6 feeder dishes were cracked, or broken.
It was 95.99 with Free shipping! although it was about 2 days late, im still pretty extatic! So i'm pretty sure the girls will be too!
I'm going to post pictures as soon as i can charge my camera and snap a few good ones!

Ok.. So its taken a bit of time, But i FINALLY am getting Boogie a Friend.
Female, about 3 yrs old. likes to sit in ur pocket, etc.
I am so excited theres not many words to describe it. Tuesday isnt THAT far away, BUT with School, and all the classes and me only looking forward to that part of my day, it will be one heck of a slow day. I cant wait to see her, and Soon have her out and after all the kinks are worked out, to have her and Boogie together. By what im told shes never really had a friend and was going into depression, so i think she needs us as much as we need her. Her cages dimensions accordingt to Jennifer are:
30x40x14 So its Decent sized but she wont be in it Forever, and around November or December They are Both going into a new Cage Intirely! So it doesnt matter. I just Hope for Good Vet check results, and Good Introduction, and Hopefully they will be best friends. :)
