Well, I got my first two piggies on Saturday. I adopted two girls from SC guinea pig rescue One is an adult female that is brown and white with a little bit of black. And the other is about 10 weeks old and is black with a little bit of tan. Both are short haired. Their names are Daisy and Mindy, but I'm going to give Daisy a new name since we already have a Daisy in the family (my mom's kitty). So I'm trying to think of a new name, either Chloe or Claire. I think its going to be Chloe, I like that name.
They've settled in pretty well I think and seem to enjoy their C&C cage. I've caught them running laps a couple times. And of course they love their veggies. I printed off the veggie and fruit guide from guinealynx, that's very helpful for a guide. Their favorites seem to be the green leafy vegetables and the green peppers. They are a little hard to catch, but very sweet once you hold them. I've read its normal for them to run from you when you go to pick them up though. Do guinea pigs use hammocks? I have hammocks in all my rat cages, but I didn't know if they would need one. Sorry to be so long, I am just pleased to be a new piggie mom. I will post some pictures soon!
