:a19: Hi I'm new signed in yesterday, and i got my babies today :)) we went out for meal and drove past pets at home and it was open so we went in and they still had a lovely selection of girls , so ive bought very pretty brown body with a black head on one side and brown on the other, with white on her bum , and a brown roan with a brown head with a white strip , little bit fluffier they are so cute but at the moment they are hiding in their willow bridge as they are only 8 weeks old and are not sure why they are here :{ one is more brave than the other , and one is quite scared so i am going to leave them for a few days to settle in their new invironment, so they can get use to their house , bless them will put some pictures on as soon as we are all friends and they trust me to handle them , they are so cute , first time owner and now have to find names any suggestions ?? :{x)
 
Looking forward to the photos. Might be worth double checking their sex, P@H are notorious for their mis(sex)takes. x
 
AWWW - you must be so tickled! Why don't you wait a bit with naming until you know them better? You can always run a naming thread on here; they are quite popular! But it is a lot easier with a picture or two!

Here are tips on how to settle them (which takes a bit of time in a new place): http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36239

These are links with lots of pics for checking their sex:

It is not that rare that shop piggies are pregnant (due to missexing and lack in separation of genders at all times, incl. transport), so have an eye out if one of the girls suddenly starts putting on a lot weight and her nipples grow noticeably longer and thicker.
(PS: I started out my piggy life with a pregnancy due to putting all piggies together during the transport to the shop.)

If your girls seem very itchy, please post again.

We don't want to frighten you, though! You go and enjoy your lovely girls! Please keep us posted how they get on!
