Hi Becky, what lovely piggies, basil has simular colours to chewy I'll try to post a photo of him and his pal in the future. I have a question to ask and If anybody can give me some advice I will be forever grateful. ? I bought chewy and gizzy from a pet shop, both was exactly the same size but I've noticed chewy is a little bigger than gizzy, they both have exactly the same food and veg they do argue with each other every now and then and chewy tries to dominate gizzy, but why is chewy bigger?

are they the same sex, if not the male might tend to be bigger.
well Im only going from my pigs, but Oscar (the guinea pig next door) is a bit bigger than my basil, they are around the same age too, but Oscar is very tertiorial, and thinks hes the boss, so mayby guinea pigs like him tend to be bigger.
