Last week, on the 17th, I adopted two more guinea pigs from the Animal Shelter! I hadn't been planning on getting any more pigs for a while, but I saw a video of these girls on a friend's Facebook and fell in love. 
They looked so sweet and well behaved with the shelter volunteer!
Their names at their previous home were Lilly and Ellie. I am keeping Lilly's name, but Ellie's name will change since I already have an Elli. Several people have suggested "Daisy," and it seems like a pretty good fit except I know a lot of dogs with that name already. Plus it reminds me of cows for some reason. So far I mostly refer to her as "Little Pig" or "Dainty Pig," since she is so petite and polite.
The new girls are currently living in a plastic storage tub (about 3 sq.ft.), but tomorrow I am making them a C&C cage. If all goes well I will end up with two stackable 2X5 grid cages, one for the new pigs and one for the original trio. I haven't quite figured everything out yet, I still need to decide if I will use the plastic connectors (along with a ton of zip ties) and decide if a storage area underneath the cages will be feasible or not. I would love to continue to store hay and bedding under the cages instead of moving it out to the garage.
If everything works out, I will try to post some pictures (or even a video!) of the new cages tomorrow.
