Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

Nobody in my family ever calls my guinea pigs by their names. (Elliot and Oliver.)
My Dad calls them Squeaky and Ginger. And when my older brother comes to visit he calls Oliver "Pooey Jim". (He's a sheltie and drags his hair all over the place, so tends to whiff a bit.)

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

Hi, well i have a 1 guinea pig called PEBBLES, and he is 1 years old and his nicknames are - 'mouseyyy' or 'littleman'!. He goes mad + also when you say CARROTS he goes hyper! Because i tought him that wen i say that he gets a carrot. So when he comes out for a run he popcorns and runs around like mad when i say it! Tehe . He did have a friend called MINTY, which nearly turned 1, but unfortuantely he died :'(. But his nicknames were - 'fatty' because he would eat alot. But i love them. xxx xx R.I.P Minty!

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

I have 2 sows : Polly-Mowly and Timmy-Skippy.
And 2 boars : Koko-Oreo and Uki-Wuki.

But i always using their last name to call them (Mowly, Skippy, Oreo and Wuki). Don't know why i gave them such a long name.

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

My Spice gets called Spicey, Squeak Mouse (that was his name at the rescue), Piggy and Spicer!
Every one in my family calls him a different name!

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

I call my grey one Chinchilla, because he has the same colour fur as a chinchilla does

And I call Samwise Sammy, but that's kind of logical!

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

Charlie - Charlie Bear, Chuck, Chuck-Chuck, Chucky Cheese, Chuck-a-Buck, Bestest Boy.

Slick - Slick-Um, Slicky Poo, Kenny Pig (grumpy like my husband sometimes is), Preggers (he is a WIDE load), Goose-Goose (silly and skittish).

But most of all, I call them Toadies.

Nice Macbeth tribute. Clover can be:

Clovis (don't know how that came up)
Clovey
Lil' C (not after the famous person)
Muffin Top (only my dad calls her that...)
C-lover (because a little girl that I babysit for made her a picture, and on the top she wrote C, then a heart, then LOVER)

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

Well, their full names are:

Alton: Alton G. Pigg
Byron: Byron Porcellus
Carlton: Carlton A. Cavy
Winston: Winston DeWheet
Errol: Errol Caviidae

As a group, I refer to them as either wheets or wheeters.

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

I call all the pigs collectively piggers, The girls I call pretty piggies pretty often and I call the boys handsom. I also call them individual nicknames though.

Annabelle
bellie
pretty lady

Alice
aly
beautiful
fraidy pig

Calliope
callie
spunky (shes a rather mean abby)
crazy pig

Moo
moo-moo
tough guy ( not so much anymore just when the boys were going through puberty)

Pippin
pippy
pippy long-stockings
hobbit

They also get the usual terms of endearment. I also generally call them by they're names if I am annoyed or really want them to listen to me which for calliope is fairly often .

My guineas name is Dino, I call him squeaky sometimes, and little fart, because he nibbles on my fingers.

Re: What nicknames do you give your guinea pigs?

I have two boars and sometimes call them by their given names Oliver and Levi
but most of the time I refer to them as a whole.
I call them my beautiful boys, my handsome piggers, but they are usually my lover boys.
