I finally got my 3 guinea pigs that I adopted! I was shocmed at how big they were for 8 months old... thought they would be smaller. They looked so much smaller in the pic i was sent.
I love them though. The names are Winter,
Chestnut, and Hazelnut. I kept the names they had because i liked them. The cage is what they came in. I know its small ( i didnt know how big it was til I got them) will be ordering a bigger one next week.

They're cute pigs, but they need a bigger space than that NOW, not next week. Do you have a bathroom you can put them in? Or someplace where you can put an old blanket down and pen them in with furniture/cardboard boxes/grids/whatever?

Are the eyes a normal size on the white pig?

I agree. That cage is WAY too small for 3 guinea pigs.

Nice pigs but that cage is way to small for ONE guinea pig, let alone three!

The white ones eyes sre the same size as the other ones bpatters. Why? And i can cordone off part of a room to put them in until i get the bigger cage. And kelsie i do not know if tbe chestnut and hazelnut are sisters i will ask the rescue i got them from and see if they know.

I asked because totally white pigs with small/missing eyes are lethal whites, and have a number of other medical problems. But if the eyes are normal, she's definitely not a lethal.

It should be pretty obvious if they're small or misshaped.

They are adorable. I agree with everyone else regarding the cage. Blocking of a area of a room and putting down blankets etc is defiantly a priority till you get the cage. Three piggies should have a C&C cage no smaller then 5x3. Maybe even 5x4
But no small then 5x3
Pet stores won?t have them. Go online and find one to order
