I was adopted by two cavies just yesterday (1/2/16). It's been over a little over six years since I've had one. I quickly discovered the cage I purchased from [unnamed petstore] was too small, so I ordered one from here. They are both still very skittish. Milady de Winter (white rump) is more shy than anything. Morgause is skittish and a bit of a complainer/bully, but I think she'll settle down.

Welcome to the forum! The one with the white bottom looks exactly like my Penny. They are such a joy. I started out with that cage too, but quickly upgraded. By the time I'm done, the pigs will probably have more of the house than I do.

Since they're pet store pigs, turn them both over and make sure they're both female. We've had quite a number of pregnant males here, all because some ignorant pet store clerk couldn't tell the difference.

They are not pet store pigs. I got them from the Humane Society. Only the cage was from the pet store.

Same difference, and usually about the same level of knowledge of guinea pigs. Better to check than to have unwanted pups.
