Hello all,

I am the proud mom of 6 female guinea pigs. I adopted my first baby, Lucy, when I went into a pet store and saw her sitting all alone in a 10-gallon tank. I didn't really know much about guinea pigs at that time, but I fell instantly in love with her and felt bad that she was in such a small cage. The pet store let me take her for free because apparently someone had returned her.

Since that time I have expanded my brood and learned so much about guinea pigs. I have learned that they each have SUCH distinct personalities, and likes/dislikes. I also found this website and learned about the requirements for a proper cage. I love looking at everyone's pictures of their cages and getting inspiration for my own piggies' cages!

I currently have 4 adult females - Lucy, Keegan, Tallulah, & Izzy - in a large 2x6 C&C cage, and 2 baby females - Layla and Anna - in a 2x2, which I know is too small -- I will be expanding to a 2x4 (hopefully with a patio) in the very near future. I also had another sweet angel named Bailee, who was unfortunately born with congenital defects - she didn't live very long, but I like to think I gave her the best life possible while she was with me.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone! Will post pictures soon!

XO

They are roughly 3 years old and sadly they were given up twice. So there not so trusting of people but we're hoping to change that. And I swear to god this will be their very last home. I can't even see why someone would want to give them up anyway. Once they are out they settled right down in your lap. The brown one Cinna is actually a cuddler. The black one Gin-Gin is more outgoing and doesn't really like cuddling but loves being petted. And they hate being separated Gin-Gin will actually squeak if he can't see Cinna. Gin-Gin will actually try and get under Cinna when they lay together it is so cute.
