Hi we are very new guinea pig owners We adopted our first female, Sandi a few months ago and fell in love immediately. So we then adopted another baby girl(both were from friends) about a month ago, her name is Charlotte We were not sure all that it entailed at first but are researching and learning fast. They are now eating the correct food (changed from what we were given by friends) and have a much more spacious home(just made for my girls for Christmas I have gotten so much information from this site alone so we are happy to be a part of it.
