I hope I've posted this in the right section...
So as some of you may have noticed earlier in the week I fell in love with 2 guinea pigs in the adoption centre from my local Pets At Home, an old indoor rabbit cage was very kindly donated to me (my mom owns 3 house rabbits, so far
and she had a spare cage) So today I decided to move my room about, set up the cage and popped up to Pets At Home, but the guinea pigs I originally fell in love with had been adopted friday, I felt a little sad, but also happy that they found a nice new home 
And right next to where they were these pair were playing.
I fell in love all over again, so this time I decided to take no chances and adopted them asap
They were only 10 months old, had never been out of their original cage, they're so skittish at the moment (especially the smooth haired one) and the owner hadn't even bothered naming them. My mom had come along and she was actually fighting back the tears when the shop assistant was telling us their story.
At the moment they're in the indoor cage, it has a level in it and I've put plenty of hay in the undersection for them to bury into, once they get brave enough to come out and are used to me moving around the room I'm going to set up a run for them out of nic cubes, I'm playing about with the idea of making it long and wide and making a level in the far end of it for them to play on.
PeekaBoo
I'll be popping into town early tomorrow to stock up on veg, or we will be having very grumpy bunnies if I keep stealing their veggies And I was just wondering if there's any veggies or treats and toys that guinea pigs in general love? (A bit like rabbits with fenugreek )
Also not too sure what to rename them, my OH likes Chewie and Jawa, my mom likes Bubble and Squeak and I like Cookie and Patch But I'm no good with naming pets, I think of something and then change my mind soon after, so any ideas will be very muchly appreciated
