| hello My name is Tabitha. I am a stay at home mom to three lovely children 2 boys ages 5 and 6 and a little girl who's 2! All three of which have varing medical needs (epilepsy, asthma, and severe allergies) We are all avid animal lovers! We have an 8 year old border collie spitz mix we rescued from the pound, a 4 year old cat we rescued from a snow storm, a hamster I adopted from petsmart (they had her in a tiny cage all alone, all because she was a she and they were a male only store, so we got her for free, pulled out the hamster cage from storage and now she is FAT and happy!! that was 6 months ago) we also have two fire bellied toads. we recently got our 5 yr old son a guinea pig. She was a little thing brown black and white he named her Baby. Unfortunately after many attempts and lots of medications we had to have baby put to sleep as she was very ill. My 5 year old was very upset by this. HE decided that he wanted another one and so we went and got Joey, I believe she is pregnant bu only time will tell! Its nice to meet you all. I have learned a lot in just browsing the site here. I even built Joey a C+C cage! |

| Re: hello Welcome to the forums, I'm sure you'll learn lots here  So sorry about Baby; it was unfortunate that your first piggie had to be put down. I'm sure Joey loves her new cage, they certainly seem to enjoy the extra space for running and exploring. Have you got any pigtures? |

| Re: hello Welcome to the forum. That "chincilla color" is what is called Silver Agouti. See if you can get your 5 year old to say that properly. Should be good for a laugh. |

| Re: hello Not really rare but not very common either. I believe it is a recessive color and therefore if bred to any other, more dominant color the breeding will not normally result in silver agoutis. That's why it isn't seen as often. |

| Re: hello That was way beyond my knowledge of genetics!! LOL oh well.. we love her no matter what color she is, we could love her more if she would come out of the igloo though.. |

| Re: hello Give her time and she'll soon be wheeking at you everytime you pass the cage. |

| Re: hello Silver Agouti's are really cute. I had two a couple of years ago (they have both passed away now  ) called Bodger and Badger. They were the Rex breed. Here's a pic of the boys so you can see their colouring.  |
