Guinea Pigs

I would love a guinea pig...or 2...or 3...or 4...or 5...or...yeah you get the picture. But we just haven't got the time for them at the moment.

What I'd like to know, however, is how many you have? What breeds? How old are they? Names? Tell me everything about them Oh, and you MUST include photos haha

Re: Guinea Pigs

Used to breed guinea pigs years ago and show them had a few different types. Even had an agouti ?? My two favs were oiu oiu mark anthony and octavia cleopatra. Octavia was like a punk rocker and mark anthony was like a hippy. They always used to whistle when it was time for their run and foodies...oh happy days

The boar is a cheastnut colour and the sow is a white and tan semi long hair. Ive also had hymilain and rex before.

Re: Guinea Pigs

I have 2 female guinea pigs aged approx 4 or 5. They are called Snowy (smooth white) and Fluffy (grey and cream long haired).
Not sure of the breeds - I did have 4 but sadly 2 other girls passed away at Christmas they were Teddy (brown rough coat) and Ginger (ginger tufty coat).

We adopted them from someone who's wife had bred as a hobby but got bored They've been with us for 3 years.

You can see Snowy and Fluffy in my Avatar

Re: Guinea Pigs

We have ten guinea pigs. Eight females and two males. My oldest one will be six in November and my youngest one is around 10 weeks. Eight of them live in a large shed in big hutches and two of them (the two oldest) live in indoor cages in the kitchen.

Here are some of our females







Our two youngest




Ginger one of my males.



Iggy one of my female indoor piggies who doesn't get on with other females cos she is way too bossy.


Nemo my oldest piggy and my favourite because I have had him since he was born. He's lost the use of his back legs three or four times this last year or so and thankfully he's fully recovered now although the vet thought he would have to be put to sleep.

Re: Guinea Pigs

Those pics are amazing! I love those pigs, they are beautiful.

I myself just have two cavies, a mother and a daughter. They are very friendly, both hand-raised, I wish I had ten more like them.
