Last year I paid around £1,000 in vet bills for my guinea pigs, I was hoping that was it, as in the previous 13 years I've owned then, the total amount was around £200 for that period. We are not even out of January and Dee Dee is having an op today to remove a golf ball size lump

As it's a quick and simple op it should be less than £100. If they carry on like this they'll be costing me more than sticking my parents in a home
