Hi hi!

New to this amazing site, I thought I'd start posting and join your lovely community :)

My fiance and I own two lovely sows by the name of Bram and Sandy :)

The black and ginger guinea pig is named Bram (like Stoker) and the brown and white piggie is Sandy :)

I've owned guinea pigs for about 6 years, my previous guinea pigs died due to illness and old age (as we adopted 2 who quite well on in the past).
My fiance had never owned guinea pigs before, he was more a cat man, but when my last guinea pig (Mocha RIP) was the last guinea pig standing, we took him in to our flat and gave his life, spoiling him constantly until he died of a UTI :( My fiance fell in love with Mocha, and we were so heartbroken that we decided to buy pets for the first time.

We live in a flat, so pets aren't usually allowed, but our Landlord is a guinea pig owner as well so he said it was ok! Never owned pets just by ourselves before as we used to live with family and mums and dads would usually do the bulk of the cleaning and we do the cuddling and the loving :p

But since having Bram and Sandy I could not see myself having any other form of pet, they are so friendly, and bursting with personality :)

Mocha RIP

So cute :) guinea pigs are actually not very hard to care for. When I got mine a few years ago (I was ten maybe) my parents were simply there to make sure that the pigs got what they need. I had to do nearly everything (well, I still do everything). Welcome to the forum!

Your pair do look a little mine.
Bram looks like Mocha but with a different pattern, and Sandy has the same pattern as Moo.
Also, welcome to the forum :)

Wow guys and girls! That's some overwhelming response just there, thank you so much :) It's so nice to meet other guinea pig owners :) And yes I can see the resemblence to Mocha and Moo!

Funnily enough my two girls looks like my two guys Steve and Mocha. Except they've swapped hair around, so Sandy has Mocha's colouring but Steve's flat hair, and Bram has Steve's colouring but Mocha's fuzzy rosettes :)
