Cindy, thanks for telling us about the guinea pigs and frogs. I have to admit, it is hard for me to picture 2000 of them, or to imagine the amount of space needed.
I hope you don't mind my questions, but I find this intriguing. If you do mind, just say so or don't answer.
You said this is a matter of hoarding. when you amassed the guinea pigs, did you have a specific thought or thoughts as to why you needed them? Is this something you have done your whole life? Did hoarding start small and become a larger problem? Do you tend to focus on animals? Does having the 'flock' bring feelings of comfort?
Finally, how DID you walk away? How did your housing situation change? What happened to the guinea pigs? Is your frog collection posing a housing problem now?
