I just kind of want to emphasize how lucky Dahlia was to only be pregnant with one piggy. This has a rather heartbreaking photo, so slight warning: http://www.guinealynx.info/reproduction.html

It's also why I hate people who intentionally breed guinea pigs. Dahlia had such an easy pregnancy, but that's not always the case.

I hate when humans feel the need to intentionally breed any animal, with the exception of breeding to not become extinct.

I'm just gonna go ahead and be the devil's advocate and say that if no one intentionally bred animals then we wouldn't have a lot of our food supply (most of the meat) and we wouldn't have pet stores either, as they need to have pets to sell.

There's too many people out there who are just breeding animals for extra cash. They breed the poor female constantly, not caring how it's hurting her body. Some are literally bred to death.

I'm not saying some people aren't in it for the wrong reasons or do it in a manner that is inhuman, but if no one did it then you probably wouldn't have your guinea pigs, as for the whole food side of it, I don't like how "factory farms" do business, but if they didn't exist at all then almost all the meat in the stores would be non-existent. Also if you don't know what I mean by how a factory farm does business go watch Food, Inc. it's on Netflix.

Also I forgot to say it in the last post but congratulations on the new guinea pig pup.
