Our two new additions:

Beautiful girls! The darker one is a Golden Agouti and light one is either a very light Golden or Lemon Agouti. How old are they? They look like nice solid girls.

Another 2 newbies!!! Cute too - I love Guinea's - they just dont live long enough!!!

Apparently they are bred from champions and on inspection one is a girl and one is boy so we are going to have to seperate them asap!

I know nothing about Guinea Pigs, these are the first ones we have had!

I love guinea pigs, they make such good pets. I had one Williemeana - I used to let her out in her pen daily to have a little run about, i put her out one day and one minute she was fine the next she just keeled over and died, just like that,gone

I know we are awful, they were given to us by a neighbour! They didn't think we had enough pets!

Yes I would seprate them asap!!! How long has next door had them and how old are they? They are pregnant for only 75ish days give or take a few.
With guinea pigs it doesnt matter what the lineage is as long as they look like the breed standard, most dont have pedigrees. Unfortunately these two have eye circles which is a huge fault with any Agouti's hense they have been sold on but they make beautiful pets.

There are some good guinea forums around, drop me a PM if you would like to know of the addresses or any questions fire away.

Awwww theyre lovely The golden Agouti looks just like the one i had, We called her Peanut as she had a body the shape of a peanut (until she put on weight lol) And a Abysinnian called Ginger, If you spend alot of time with them they can become as loyal as your dogs Mine would follow me around the house, and they were so funny if they heard the fridge door open, they used to squeal in excitement If you have never owned guinea pigs aj look forward to hearing some funny noises haha. I would seperate them asap, the male will start to purr (as i call it) and stick his bum out if hes trying to mate with her. But it can happen very quickly! We know this from PAH selling us a male as a companion for my female even though id asked for another girl!

Also here is a good guide on what to feed and what not to feed, as some things may suprise you when it comes to the veggie side of things Guinea Pig food and Feeding Guide also Seagull's Guinea Pig Compendium

ahhh they are gorgeous,,i love guinea pigs, you will need to move to a bigger house soon,, if you get any more pets,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks everyone. I'd be grateful if someone could recommend a good food which has no additives in it or what I should be feeding without giving a commercial food!
