My Guinea Pigs!!

Right, time to show off my animals!

I have 2 dogs, both Lurchers and 4 guinea pigs.

I've done the dogs in a separate thread!... Here are the guinea pigs!

The guinea pigs consist of 2 "couples" with a male and female in each pair. Piglet (female) lives with Lenny, and Belle lives with Archie.

First up are Archie (White Rex) and Belle (Lilac Tri Shelti X)...









Followed by Lenny (Tortoiseshell & White Abby) and Piglet (Agouti Smooth)...








:yho:

 

Beautiful.Boy do you love your guinea pigs.:gnthb:

 

Really Nice Guineas there Sam:thumb:I rescued two of them the other year and they were living in poor conditions but I soon got them back to full health,sadly I lost Punky in February to old age but still have Mabel left

Thanks for sharing them with us and you have some lovely photos of them:gnthb:

 

Great pics. Do they live outside all year? I don't know anything about guineas, lol, can you guess! Do you ever put all 4 in together or would that cause fights?

cheers

 

Yes I do indeed!!!! :wuvu:

Awww its is sad when you loose a pet... You could get a baby girl piggy to keep Mabel company. There are alot of your piggies in rescue. :thumb:

thanks! No they live inside all the time... they just have plenty of run time on the lawn in nice weather :thumb::hehe:

No they can't go in together! If carefully paired up then 2 or sometimes more boars (boys) can live together and sows (girls) will usually live together in big groups quite happily but you can't have more than 1 boar living WITH sows. you can have 1 boar with many sows.

Therefore if I put all 4 together, the boys would more than likely fight to the death.

They once got into on of the cages together and laid into each other instantly!!! I had a job separating them, they drew blood! (on me luckily not each other)... :hehe: But they are perfectly happy in their pairs.

The 2 pairs live side by side in cages in the living room but cannot see each other. When we first got the second pair, they lived next door to the first pair but COULD see each other and they were constantly squirting pee at each other and strutting up and down the boundary, all dominance displays. they girls were doing it too. :hehe:

 

yup, several breeds in lots of colours :hehe:

 

Aww bless em and LMAO at them squirting pee at each other
