Recently my girlfriend and I decided to get a small pet, something relatively low maintenance, and something that more or less stays in one spot.
After a quick trip to a pet store, we came home with Peaches, a baby Guinea Pig.
She loves to chew on fingers, as well as cuddle up with a good movie and some fresh vegetables.
She is still a bit shy, but is adapting to her surroundings and will be getting a friend very soon.
