Hey I've always kept guinea pigs but lost one last year and couldn't bring myself to get another one but a couple of days ago I adopted 3 males that are huge compared to any I have had before. That's all I really know about them. They are adorable

Any hints or tips would be much appreciated..

Wow very pretty piggies! It looks like you have a couple silver agoutis and one golden agouti which are rare to find especially when their entirely silver or golden! Anyways welcome to the forum! Feel free to ask any questions.

Welcome! They're adorable! We'd be happy to help with any questions or concerns you might have.

What cage are you keeping them in? Three males will need a cage around a 2 by 6 c and c or 2 by 7 c and c to prevent fighting.

Thankyou

I think they are gorgeous! I'm just struggling to find things big enough for them as they are really really huge..

They are in a huge cage already with a massive run on it..

Hello and welcome to the forum! Your boys are adorable! When you say they are huge, how much do they weigh?

Happyhenx · Oct 25, 2014

Than you

and I wouldn't know how to weigh a guinea pig.. Haha

You should be weighing them once a week to see if they're maintaining their weight. Weight loss is often one of the first signs of illness, so if you weigh them regularly you can catch it before it's too late. A regular kitchen scale that goes up to about 5 pounds will do the trick.
