Hello all,
I just joined yesterday. I tried to post an introduction last night, but it apparently never posted.
I'm the proud mom of 2 sweet dogs (my girls) and 2 adorable guinea pigs (my boys). Last April, while on spring break, my daughter bought a small male guinea pig that she wanted to take back to college with her for this year. Long story short, no apartment this year, dorm room, boy needs a friend, bigger cage, promises to take care of them....2 pigs and 2 cages later, Mom has custody and not giving them up.
Anyway, I have 2 boys, and 2x4 c&c cage with a 1x1 small loft, soon to be expanding to a 2x5 with hopefully a 2x2 upstairs.
This is Nikka the Dark Lord. His motivation is shelter. He likes to sit back and watch. He's not very outgoing, but when he's being held, he is the sweetest thing. He's extremely patient during grooming. He recently sat perfectly still while I brushed and cut his hair, and there was a lot of hair to be trimmed. He loves apples and bananas, probably because he rarely gets them.
This is Jasper, his motivation is obviously food. He sleeps in the hay bin. He's very nosy and curious. He's always up on the latest activities going on in the living room. He's the first to greet me when I approach the cage. And last night, in the middle of eating his salad, he stopped to come closer to me, sniffing the air and wheeked for my pizza. He can't sit still long enough for lap time.
This is their cage, 5 minutes after changed the fleece. The hay area is just out of view. They have a small loft in the corner. Usually one is upstairs and one is downstairs napping.
