Practically one year to the day that I got these two little monsters (Moet and Shiraz):

My financee and I decided to add 2 more to the family. They are Latte (white band going across her back) and Mocha. They are very ickle at the moment and we are experiencing some dominance issues with Moet (who is normally SO chilled out) I'm hoping they can resolve their issues and get on with being a happy family.

This is our run that the four play in. Latte and Mocha came home today and we thought it good place for them to meet. They have a house, bridge and tunnel to play with. I would put more in but I like them to have open space to play in. I also cover the top over as they seem to prefer it.
Thats my old man in the pic, he loves them and often rings me up and before asking how Alison and I are he will ask "hows the girlies?" 98)

They are SO spoilt.

In the last month they have had a new run £60, a new massive hutch £60, a house for the run £30, the bridge (not 1 has gone over it yet lol) £8 and god knows how much cucumber, carrot, lettuce, apple etc.... I dont think I can afford to have proper kids!
 
;D LOL, no I would stick to guineas if I was you, not only do they cost less but they don't back chat you either. ;D
 
Wait until you do have kids then ;D

You'll end up saying 'we should have just got more piggie's, they cost less!'

Very cute girlies indeed

Lovely piggies and I love your set up. The cage in the first pic is very interesting, did you make it? looks very sturdy. Have you got some more pics of it pleeeese?
 
Oh they are lovely absolutely beautiful girlys :smitten: :smitten:

Dont talk about the cost lol I think I have spent about 20 quid on piggy stuff each weekend for the past 3 months lol
 
Gorgeous :smitten: I love the one in the second picture with her back to the camera...she's got lovely ears :smitten:

That is actually a small starter run that my fiancee bought when she got the original two. It was suitable for them as babies but is only about 2ft by 2ft. It wasnt very secure at the sides so was often weighed down with bricks.
 
Awwwwwwwwwwww the new additions are gorgeous, lucky you guys :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
LOL a real turn around for the names this time ;)
 
lol the missus is the booze hound and I'm the coffee addict.

I was going to call them Starbuck and Boomer who are characters from Battlestar Galactica but I decided on this instead. Their characters are starting to show now. Latte is quite bold and will do what ever shes wants. Mocha is very timid and is hard to catch to give her cuddles. We are aiming to handle them both for at least 20 mins a day so they get use to use.

They have learnt alot from their big sisters already. It took us months to get Moet and Shiraz to take food from our hands but the babies have picked this us quickly.

Today was brillant as they were out in the run and the babies were going MENTAL! Sprinting around and in and out of all the tunnels and tubes we put in the run.. They were like little white flashes :smitten:
 
Lovely little Guinea pigs, i love their colours. :) I hope they do manage to settle down for you. :)
