Hi everyone!

My name is Evie. I've been a lurker here for quite a long time now, so I'm excited (and a little nervous) to finally announce my presence. :eek:ptimist: I have two guinea pigs, Russell (aka "RusRus") and Cooper, and we're currently writing from the great (very snowy) state of Minnesota.

I fell in love with guinea pigs after house-sitting for a friend whose daughter had some, and ever since then I've been on the lookout for an opportunity to care for some piggies of my own. Finally, I got the opportunity to adopt two adorable boars (my beloved Russell and Cooper). According to the couple I adopted them from, they're a little over 1-1/2 years old. We've had a great first week together - they seem to love their new C&C "digs," and we've already discovered that RusRus is NOT a fan of green peppers. But then again, neither am I!

Anyway, that's just a little bit about me and "the boys." We're excited to meet you all!

Thanks everybody! I feel very welcome. Week one has gone unbelievably smoothly, and I've been so excited I keep forgetting to pull out my camera! I'll try and snap some photos of the boys this weekend so I can share them with you all!

I've been here for a while and still need to post pictures. I pulled out the carmera the other day to find the batteries dead - maybe tonight

Finally, the boys & I had ourselves a photoshoot!

So, without further ado, here they are: Russell (on the left) and Cooper.

It's funny how their personalities came out so much while I was trying to take their picture! Russell was nigh impossible to capture on film - all his movements are a blur of red and white cuteness (I think his motto is "All energy, all the time."). He put several noseprints on my camera lens! Cooper, on the other hand, is Mr. Docile, and he seems to be just plain smiling sweetly up at the camera in every picture.

Welcome to trhis very helpful forum. The pictures of your piggies are very cute. Congrats on your new additions, they are deffinately going to be a lot of fun. Please remenber to read the "stickies" at the top of each forum section, as they contain probably in my opinion the best information on guinea pig care out there.

Welcome :D
