Hello Everyone! Our family (Mom, Dad, daughter Colleen (9yr) and Ceana (Golden Retreiver) adopted our first guinea pigs from a shelter/rescue on June 18th. Arnold (10mths) and Alex (5mths) are actually father and son. Our boys are very sweet and are making good progress in becoming used to us, being handled and making us tow the line! Little Alex is our resident talker.He is a big wheeker for food and coos or ?softly chirps whenever he is strutting around, when you are holding him or when you just talk to him. Arnold is not a big talker. In fact, it took me a few days to realize he was talking because he was being drowned out by Alex. Alex just LOVES food. We have been sitting down in their large playpen, putting a little fleece blanket on our laps and hand feeding them their vegetables. Alex doesn't even care WHO is feeding him. As soon as anyone sits down and puts a blanket on their lap, he climbs right in and will practically climb up your chest looking for food. Arnold is much more cautious. He will somtetimes climb on my daughter's or my lap, but no one else's. However, Arnold is fascintated by our dog and not afraid, while Alex isn't quite sure of her. Alex is much more interested in tunnels, tents or toys but Arnold is the resident popcorn expert, especially when we are giving them fresh hay! We have fallen in love with the boys and are so glad that they have joined our family! We are very grateful to this site. We have learned a great deal of valuable information from it and our delighted to have now joined. It is the first forum I have ever registered for- so please accept my aploogiy for any errors I might make.
