magic charm ;)

Just recently i have come to notice that piggies seem to have a magic charm with us humans! Before getting my babies my mum wasn't overly keen on them (i'm 19 and live at home) she hasn't really been around guinea pigs at all. I've had my boys only 2 months and just recently began to notice what my mums like with them she walks into my room straight to the cage talking to them in a baby voice (same voice she uses for my 2 year old neice!) and scoops them up for cuddles without even a word to me! Not only is this a breakthrough but everytime she goes to do a weekly shop you can gurantee she's come home with either veggies or a new toy for the boys! As you can imagine i'm delighted that my mum adores them too, but it doesn't end there! My boyfriend was terrified of them when i first introduced him to the piggies he was scared they'd bite him. But the piggies have also worked the charm on him too whereas before he was scared to stroke one they both come out for night time cuddles now! And no i don't mean us sitting on the sofa having cuddles they both get into bed with us and have a little run around the bed and some snuggles before going to sleep! I knew my boys would be special but i never knew they'd be this good!

Guinea pigs are just so adorable I fail to see how anybody cannot be charmed by holding them.

I completely agree! They never fail to make me smile just walking into the room and seeing them snoozing or eating or running around makes my heart melt! They're such beautiful animals xx>>>

That's adorable. They are wonderful animals. I was very scared to hold and feed my boys by hand when I first got them because my brother used to do the holding and things when we had our first guinea pig and I was young.

They never bit me and happily allowed me to hold them so I lost the fear. I then got scared of bathing them and cutting their nails but they are absolutely good boys and allow me to do that with barely a little wiggle.

It's amazing how easy it is for them to make you a braver person and they are just so adorable, I don't know how anyone couldn't like them.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to check their teeth.

i just feel completely at ease i was a little worried my mum or boyfriend would never fully understand my love for them. my mum was terrified because both my boys love piggy chin tickles and was worried about how big the teeth were. She's soon got over the fear and i catch her smiling when they lift there heads up for a chin tickle just so glad its turned out like this my boys have brought the whole house closer together without knowing it special little piggies! ^)
