Thought I would tell everyone a little about my guinea pigs I will go in the order I got them in. (I was not able to resize a few of the photos sorry they are big)

I got my first guinea pig Bella after my offical first pig passed. You can read about Bear here http://www.guinealynx.info/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61627 Bella is one of a kind pig. The day I brought her home I quickly found out she does not like to be carried. I have a scar on my arm from that. She is a crazy and spunky girl. She is the boss and she will let you know it. She is a bit of a brat and acts like a little kid. Her personality is hard to describe. Most people love her because of how she acts. She is not scared of anyone or anything. One last thing she is all about food and will eat anything. Here she is.

Chloe is the second guinea pig that I got. I was not sure if I wanted to get another guinea pig or not, but my boyfriend talked me into it, because he wanted Bella to have a friend. I was still new to cavies and got Chloe at a petstore. After what happened to bear I wanted to make sure I checked Chloe out all over to make sure she was healthy. She was the first one I picked up there and I checked her out and she looked great. I asked about 4 times if she was with any males. I was assured that she had not been. So we got a small petstore cage to keep her in for 3 weeks. She was not like bella she was really calm and quite. While she was in quarantine I noticed she looked like her belly was getting bigger my family just kept telling me I was seeing things, so I ended up introduceing her to Bella and they instantly connceted. Chloe is a big cuddler, very sweet, and laied back She is not very vocal. A lot of people are drawn to Chloe because she is a fatty. Here she is.

Darwin is my thrid pig. Yes, Chloe was pregnant and this is her son. Darwin is amazing he is a big cuddler and we just bonded since his birth. Which I was able to see. I love him more than anything. He is really vocal and really enjoys to be petted. He always wants to be near me. If anyone else holds him he wants to come back to me. Here are his pictures

Amy is last. I got her because she reminded me of Bear. The best way to describe her is sweet. She is just the sweetest thing. She will lay on you forever and just fall asleep. She is a huge licker. She will just lick your hand all day and she loves to lick your cheek. She is great with kids since she is so laid back.

Here is was when I first got her

Awww all beautiful piggies! I noticed that Darwin had a brother or sister? Do they all live together? I really love your descriptions of their personalities :(|) xx
 
Yes, they all live together. Thank you very much! Yes, Darwin did have a brother I named Ralph. At the time I didn't have the room to keep both boys seperate from Chloe and Bella. The cage they were in was not very safe and I didn't know much about guinea pigs at this time. Plus I knew the neuter would be quite a bit and I had read that you couldn't keep two males with females, so I gave Ralph to the humane society and he was adopted the next day. I wanted to keep him so bad though.
 
I forgot to mention I did have 6 pigs, but I recently rehomed 2 of them to a friend who lost her 3 guinea pigs.
