Now that I've posted around a bit, I figured I should share the ladies in my life. I was told they are sisters but I have my suspicions that they are actually mother and daughter. They remind me of my mom and I...for better or worse 
they're fosters with Have a Heart Guinea Pig Rescue.
Vera is the color-blocked girl - because she looks like an expensive handbag and I like Vera Bradley bags! Actually, my partner named her. He knows I love purses. She has a MAJOR attitude. She's the boss, she isn't shy, she's very bold, but don't try and pet her or pick her up. She chatters, kicks, and tries to bite. But, she is curious and sniffs at everything and will eat right out of my hand so there's hope! She likes: carrots, salad (all the salad!!), raspberries, tomatoes, cukes, zucchini, and basically anything she can get her teeth on. I admit to sometimes calling her Handbag...
The other one, of course, is Lorelei - the friendly more docile but easily frightened. She's named after Lorelei Gilmore...I'll let you guess which Lorelei She popcorns sometimes and runs around a lot, so I think she's younger than the other despite their supposed "sister" claim. She hates raspberries but will eat jut about anything green and enjoys apples as a sometimes treat.
Enjoying a salad....
More salad while mom cleans our cage!
My first ever C&C cage - this was right after cleaning and such so it looks nice...it's kind of a mess now but it'll get a thorough cleaning again tomorrow (it's also now on a stand and the 1x2 loft is built but they won't have access until we get something for the ramp & coro for the grids - it's gonna be the kitchen!
This is Lorelei sulking on the bottom bunk after we made a valiant attempt at clipping her nails. She refused to come out until I refilled the hay bin with their brand new hay ^.^
They'll be getting fleece flippers soon (though I love this blue/white/black triangle blanket!), some cozy cups, and beds. I've only had them about a week and they were dropped off suddenly and with only a cage, food, and hay (poor quality, sadly) so it'll take some time to bring their lifestyle up to speed!
For the first time today we didn't try to take them out or have to move the cage or anything at all and I think they felt really settled - they made noise & ran zoomies and popcorned for really the first time!!!
