"You can neuter a guinea pig?" Is a question I have been asked by just about every mom who has brought their kids over for a playdate at my house and come across the guinea pigs. Why yes, yes you can neuter a guinea pig! Dr. I-forgot-his-name-but-he's-awesome did a great job neutering not one, but two of my guinea pigs. And for the best price out of all 20+ vet/pet clinics I called in my area. Day & Evening Pet Clinic came highly recommended by my neighbor, too. And it was actually a local pet store that told me they bring all of their animals to this clinic as well.While I was there, both in dropping off and picking up my guinea pigs, the staff seemed very friendly toward any dog in the waiting area (no cats, either time I was there). The doctor was very thorough in explaining things and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I'm so glad I found this place! And now for information you probably don't need, but I'm writing it out anyway:My kiddos acquired two guinea pigs from the Easter Bunny on Easter morning. The previous owner (we'll call her the Easter Bunny helper) - gave me an amazing price for the pair and their habitat. When asked whether they were both males or females, I got "Well, we know Oreo is a male... but we're not so sure about Patches." Patches, as it turns out, is not a male, but was a pregnant female. Within a week of having our two piggies, and reading that female piggies go into heat immediately after birth, we decided Oreo needed to be snipped. But who neuters a guinea pig? Well, apparently some vets do, but they want to charge you in excess of $200. Crazy, right? Day & Evening Pet Clinic neuters guinea pigs for $70, give or take. You'd think that's a lot, but call around and you'll quickly discover that it's the best price you can find!!!Patches gave birth to two healthy little piggies, a boy and a girl. A few weeks later when we noticed the little boy exhibiting signs of sexual maturation, we brought him in to be snipped too. Now they are a happy family of 4, albeit Oreo occasionally tries to mount his "wife" Patches, only to stop right away and look down at his "parts" with confusion. Overall, 5 stars. We've got a family of 4 guinea pigs - two more than we initially bargained for but since guinea pigs are social creatures, they are very amusing and my kids love them. If it weren't for the Day & Evening Pet Clinic, we'd probably be up to like, 12 guinea pigs now, lol. 4 is enough. :) Read Less
