Hi everyone my name is Emily, I live in Canada and I am addicted to guinea pigs! I have had them for years. My current pig is a silver agouti named Solomon- he is rarely in his cage lol

Welcome and you sure do have a Handsome piggie there.
He looks like he's quite a "BIG BOY""...

And thinks he's the boss?
Which I'm sure he is, I can see he's spoiled. lol

How much does Solomon weigh? I wonder if he's one of the South American cuy? They're much larger than our normal guinea pigs.

Cuy are huge compared to the pigs we have here. Wild chinchillas in Peru are also like 5X the size of pet ones, they were the most amazing thing I saw down there.

Three pounds is a pretty good sized guinea pig, but cuy run 4.5 to 5 pounds or more. One of my two females is almost 3 pounds, the other is 2.75 pounds.
