I have three guineas and I'm pretty new to the forum, so thought I'd introduce them x):

This is my beautiful lady Meg

And her just as beautiful sister, Poppy.

I've had these two for 3 years now, after them becoming my first every guinea pigs (on a bit of a whim) from a rescue I used to volunteer at. They were in a not-ideal environment in the rescue, and had been handed over at 18 months because they lady's partner didn't want them (I'd rather get rid of him). Theyre quite shy girls, particularly Poppy, but are spoilt rotten and are now at the lovely age of 4 1/2, with chunky tummys and junk in the trunk.

This is four month old Rufus, and he is a very new addition to the family, being rehomed from the same rescue Poppy and Meg came from. He was given to the rescue having only lived a month with his previous owner and she gave him up after she said he was too timid and bit her (not even drawing blood) grrrr. He's since come out of his shell and spends his evenings running round under the covers on my bed nibbling on my leggings. He now squeaks at all hours and takes food from my hands and it annoys me someone thinks a guinea can settle so quickly and gave up on him, but fortunately they did and I found him. I got him with the intention of him hopefully moving in with the girls after he's neutered on 2nd June, as my girls are so reliant on each other, my plan was to move him in so that they have company and aren't alone when that inevitalbe horrible time does come (hopefully a long long way away).
 
Hey, Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the lovely Pigtures - Gorgeous piggies x)
 
Awwwwww what beautiful piggies all of them, esp little rufus! Hope his netuering goes well on June the 2nd and he enjoys been a huspig to his beautiful wifeys! x) Thank you for sharing their stories and photos :)
 
Thanks :). I'm crossing my fingers for his neutering trying to get prepared for his recovery and hoping it's all ok. I've read some of the horror stories on here that have scared me but I'm doing it in the hope he will be able to have himself a lovely girlfriend, whether he fits in with my two girls, or he ends up getting his own if the three of them don't settle together. x
 
They are lovely~ So cute and they look so soft and snuggly~

It's amazing what people consider to be "biting" as far as piggies are concerned. Someone told me one of my boys bit them but I think the word they were after was nibble.
And even so, why would you give up such a cutie for such a thing? xoxo I'd forgive him if he bit me!
 
x) Gorgeous piggies and Rufus will love his ladies after his op ;)
If the trio didn't work (hope it does) you could always look around for a rescue that does boar dating so he could chose his mate himself :))
 
ooh lovely piggles!

Meg is the same colouring as my Cookie - he sends excited wheeks to her!
 
helloooooooooooooooooo Poppy, Meg and Rufus x)x)x)
Well done for rescuing them all, sounds like they've got a wonderful forever home with you x)
I hope the neuturing of Rufus goes well and he adores his ladies x)x) i'm sure he will they're sooooooooooo dam cute, all of them!
 
They will make a gorgeous trio! I hope that all goes well with the op and that the girls like him!
 
i've just realised i had all of these responses! thankyou everyone - they are beautiful piggies and i love them dearly.

thankfully, as you may have seen, the op went well and rufus has now completed the trio. they have all settled in lovely and the girls have really taken him under their wing. they are all snuggling in together (they were all tucked up in bed together later in the afternoon after i had introduced them) and rufus is so so happy.

until now he was living in my bedroom and now the only downside now he has moved in with the girls is that i don't get to hear his lovely wheeks every morning when i wake up and before i go to bed :( x
