Tzulscha Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The Goodyear blimp is the official bird of Redondo beach California. In Switzerland it is illegal to own only one guinea-pig. Guinea pigs need social interaction to be happy and only keeping one guinea pig is considered to be animal abuse. (There are even guinea pig matchmaking services. www.kleintiere-schweiz.ch ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
