Hello all!

I adopted two guinea pigs, my first ever (!), Emmett (the calico) and Eva (the albino), from an exotic animal rescue. No worries - they're both fixed - and they live happily together. I adopted them at the end of July: the vet I adopted them from though Eva was about 6 months and Emmett about 1 year.

A bit about my pigs! They love carrots, corn husks, and willow branches, but turn their noses up at peppers and oranges. Eva has a bad eye (microphthalmia and conjuctivitis) that I'm not convinced she can see out of, and she's albino, but she's shown no signs of bad teeth or anything else. She's a bit more skittish but also a drama queen, and certainly not afraid to tell Emmett that the pellets are hers, thank you very much.
Emmett is the ornery one. He loves his hay, and I swear he watches me and can see when I start to stir in the morning, because as soon as I do, he starts begging for his hay, then stands on his back feet to peer over the coroplast and make sure I'm moving.

The pigs have a 4x2 C/C cage with a 2x1 kitchen loft.

As for me, I'm a graduate student in microbiology, just started this fall, and the piggers have experienced it all with me, moving and all!

(If anyone in the Midwest wants a pig, Dr. Becker with EARPS ((broken link removed)) is amazing, and has a bunch!!)
