I have had them for a short while compared to some and a long time compared to others as I have had them eleven years this year O0
 
I have only had piggies since 2004, so four years now. However I had rabbits before that, from age 12 +.
 
My first piggy "Truffles the Great" entered my life in 1978 - so I guess that makes it 30 years give or take a bit!

OMG! Am I totally 98) All I know is I am totally :smitten: with GPs and would break my heart to be without them.
 
since I was 3 (mum looked after them for me obviously. but I have taken care of them since i was 12.
 
It just lost my post... grrrr!

Had piggies as a child but was only allowed 1 :'( then got one from an auction without my parents knowing 98)

Didn't have any more until I left uni at 21 - so 10 years ago.... had a P@H pair of shelties, Monica and Phoebe.

No more until I got my own house and got rid of my ex in Nov 2006 - when I got Mr Bojangles! Slippery slope from then on to the current number!

I had piggies as a child but I won't count that as my mum did most of the looking after.

As an adult I have had them for 6 years.
 
1st weekend of march last year i got bob and munchie, who were my first ever piggies, so a year and 2 months-ish.
 
I'll have had Misty 2 years on the 5th of June. Feels more like 10 years I've had him :D
 
As a child we had them, but I'm sure my mother did all the caring.
Now I'm an O.A.P., I got Basil in April 2007, then Marigold and Lavender came in Sept 2008. So very much a newcomer compared to everyone else.
 
these are my first ones, and I'm here to find out as much as possible about them
i've learnt lots ;D
i've had them 2 months
 
Got my first piggy Toffee when I was teaching in a primary school and one of the school guinea pigs had babies - that was 15 years ago. Then had Basil, then Gilbert, now have Daisy and Clover. All lovely piglets :) :smitten:
 
had some when i was younger but keeping them as an adult? since last saturday lol
 
Georgie came into my life just over 6 years ago..... :smitten: :smitten:

to long i a thinking ;D errr no i have had them for 8 years i think
 
Had bunnies as a child and moved into piggies when my youngest was about 4 so that must make it 10 years since Roger and Rusty came into our lives and started our guinea pig addiction! ;D My hubby has never forgiven himself for suggesting getting some small furries for the girls ;D ;D ;D little did he know!
 
August 2007 - so new to piggies! They're such brilliant animals and are no bother at all to look after. I just love how each animal has their own individual character - just like we do!
 
I had them aged 8/9 but mum looked after them. Then didn't get anymore until 2003, now I have 12
oops
 
Had several pet pigs (Himalayans & Abys) as a kid in the 1960s. As an adult I bought a couple of pets in 1980 and my first purebred (a Dalmation) in 1981. The pigs I have now, 27 years later, are his descendents.
