I want to hear about your guinea pigs

[FiaFlora]

I personally have two girls, Luna and Estrella.

How many do you guys have?
What are their names?
How long have you had them?

 

[TheKayler]

I have two brother pigs named Clifford and Farley. Let me tell you, there huge, and a bit on the chubby side (hehe). I’ve had them since October. When i adopted them they were three, but now they are believed to be four.

 

[ElizaCavies]

I have two pigs called toast and marmalade. I have had them for a few months xx

 

[Reenie]

I have 5 - all boys. I have a trio (two brothers and a half brother or cousin) called Groucho, Chicco and Little Dude. I've had them just over a year, and they are about 16 months old. I also have Bobby and Bailey, who I adopted from Pets at Home reforming section. I don't know their age. It would be lovely to see pics of your piggies. Welcome to the forum x

 

[TheThreeCavies]

We have three girls, Toffee, Truffles and Davina.

From different breeders, but hand picked by the owner of the independent pet shop we got them from. They'd been with him, living in the same cage, for just over two weeks before we picked them up.

We've had them 4 days!

 

[PiggyPoo]

I’m a first time mum to 2 Sows Heidi (the boss) and Twilight (playful). I’ve had them 2 weeks tomorrow and I am so in love xx

 

[Eriathwen]

Shelly and Leonard just turned 2 and I've had them since they were 8 weeks too

Treacle and Cinammon are between 12-18 months old, I've had them about 3 months? 4 months ish?

Ebony and Ivory are roughly 1 year old and I've had them since they were 6 and 8 weeks old.

Daisy and Delilah are about 11 months old and I've had them since 8 weeks old

And little Misty is 3-4 months old and I've had her since 8 weeks too

 

[Siikibam]

I have two boys, Toffee and Fudge. I’ve had them since August and they turned one last week

 

[Claire W]

I’ve got a 3 year old sow called Ellen and a nearly 3 year old neutered boar called Edward. They both came from the same rescue a year apart x

 

[Freela]

We've had several over the years... right now we have two girls, Hadley and Leela. Hadley is about 3.5 years old and Leela turned 1 in January.
Here's a picture! Hadley is the agouti, Leela is the red/white/brown girl.

 

[Merab]

Lovely thread but should be accompanied by pictures.
Pictures of piggies are good.
Here’s my 3.
Merab is coming up for 6. I’ve had her since Jan 2013 and I was told she was 6 months old. We give her a birthday mid July. She’s part aby and part mop.
Keziah is a 3 year old tortoise and her sister Jemimah is a teddy. I’ve had them since they were 3 months old. I know their birth date was 24th March 2015

 

[Merrypigs Sanctuary]

We have 5 permanent sanctuary residents!

Toffee and Fudge I brought home from work in April 2017. They were a customer surrender, and as Toffee had lumps we came to the decision not to put them up for adoption in store Toffee's lumps turned out to be a benign bladder tumour and an ovarian cyst. The girls are 6 years old


Ruby is 5, I brought her home from work too, in December 2017 along with her sister Sky! Same story as Toffee and Fudge, Sky had lumps and so we decided not to adopt the girls out in store. Sky passed away 8th March this year


Lola and Ginger Spice are both 2, and we brought them home last week Ginge has no eyes and we were worried her and her sisters would be separated (they were offered for sale separately) and knew that Ginge would need some extra special care

 

[Sonnet]

Chutney is the chocolate&tan guinea. He’s 6 sometime this month, I think. Got him and Radish (deceased) from a rescue centre back in 2012. Got Sprout in January this year. He’s 1.

Peachy is 1st in pic, shes 10 months old, then its Rodney, he's about 21 months old, then its Fudge & Pepper, theyre sisters, 1yr old nxt week, then its Honey, shes bout 6 months old.
Then we have Ollie & Fuzz, they're brothers, adopted as babies as Ollie is blind from birth. Theyre bout 8/9 months old. X

 

[Hailz81]

Ooh do u use puppy pads on there own? I was considering this as my pig is so messy!

I have one adopted who has lived alone for a while l. Looking to speed date him soon lol he is a big boy about 2 years old called Ronaldo lol

 

[MrsC2017]

Yeah I use puppy pads for the same reason. All our babies seem to be very messy so its the easiest cleanest way for me. Aww he is gorgeous, I'm sure the speed dating will go well for him. He looks fab. X

 

[Hailz81]

Great I’ve got the in at the moment with the wood chips but they get stuck in his hair so easily.
your pigs are cut love the top pick of them feasting lol

 

[MrsC2017]

Yeah it can be bit of a pain especially with the long haired. Pepper & Fudge are long haired. Wasnt great fun. But fine now. Thank you. Yeah thats 1 of my favourites too that picture. They luv a buffet my lot. X

 

[Betsy]

I have 5 piggies.

This is Velvet she is def DA BOSS and keeps everyone in line. She is Mum to Christian, Dennis and Meg.

This is the ever beautiful Betsy who is second in command. She is a lovely piggy who is starting to go blind with cataracts.


This is Christian. He is a cheeky boy who loves rumblestrutting everywhere.


Introducing Dennis. Dennis is is a real cutey and loves his cuddles.


Here is Meg. She's a timid little thing and would be completely lost without Velvet.

 

[helen105281]

Currently 10, there is our old man Tim who is almost 7 we think, he lost his friend and has been battling some health issues so is on his own at the moment, but we are weighing up options. Then there is Ophelia who also lost her friend but she does not really like other pigs. She has taken a shine to our 2 newbies though through the grids so that is a possibility. She is a skinny and is about 4. The others are all pairs - Mum and daughter Truffle and Toffee who are about 4, Robyn and Elphie who are 2.5 and 1. Finally, we have the Allcocks- our little diva Mr Ronald J Allcock who is a skinny and he lives with Luna. Ronnie is between 2 and 3 and Luna is 1. Oh and the 2 newbies, Candy and Storm. Storm is not very old at all, though the rescue were told she was 3, she lost her friend in the bad snow. She has been bonded by the rescue with Candy who we think is much older.

 

[LittleGems]

I currently only have Bella ( getting her a buddy next week) I have had her for 3 years

 

[MarieBar]

I have 6.. Ant and Dec who are about 14 months and huge!
Then we have Candy and Floss who are about 4 months old and I found out Candyvwas pregnant so we have 2 10 day old piggies called Fizz and Bubbles

[alphalpha_neo]

I currently have 2, but I used to have 3 My first three were Smokey, Chris, and Neo (I still have him today.) Sadly, Chris and Smokey passed away last year at about 5. They were attacked by the neighbor's dog But, now I have Alfie and Neo. Neo is 7 and Alfie 2. I've had neo since he was a pup, and I got Alfie a few months ago, Both are from local rescues.

 

[piglette]

Because I can't say 'no' to a pig in need ... I have fourteen pigs! Most found their way to me as unwanted adults, and all will live out their retirement in comfort here:

The boys (in order of adoption): Jojo, Ollie, Theodore, Merry, Pippin, Abe, Zuri, Kudo, Liko, Tuli, Percy and Archie.
The girls: Bunny, Fudge.

They take all my spare time, space and money - but I wouldn't be without them

 

[Pigwhisperer]

Just the 2 here. Silk (because she is silky, according to my daughter, and I can't deny it) and Clover. They will be 2 in July. Clover (tricolour) is the boss although she's smaller, and although she does like a cuddle and licks your fingers, she soon wants to get back home to make sure Silk isn't getting ideas. Silk (white) on the other hand will sit with you for hours, possibly to escape from being bossed!

 

[MillieT]

I have two boys named Panda and Fudge. Panda is a black and white Rex whereas Fudge is a gingery Abyssinian with one white foot. They are roughly 2 years 4 months now and i can't believe that the time has gone that fast!

 

[Emily<3]

I have 3. 2 girls, Aurora and Azalea, and one boy named Midas. Midas is shy, he doesn't come out of his gut much, doesn't go crazy over veggies, but is perfectly fine with me reaching in and handing him a snack. I think he's just a couch potato. Azalea has stubby legs, she loves to lay right in the way of Aurora and she knows what shes doing! Aurora is tough. She does not hesitate to come right up to us (we just got the 2 girls so they're still settling in). They have learned that I give them a salad when I wake up so as soon as I get out of bed Azalea is yelling at me. You know that squeal they do when they're in pain? She does that. I always rush out there thinking shes hurt. She just wants salad. Sneaky. Aurora is the darker of the 2. Midas is the one alone in the pics, we say they ran out of ink when they were making him because his face is black white and orange and then the rest of him is Gray
