New Nameless Boys

[cyanidebaby]

My new boys got here today No names yet but I have a potential names list above if you want to help me pick some There was another thread for naming but I tried to delete it and can't, could a mod please?

They are beautiful, I like Piccolo and Flute Take your time naming them, and try a few names when talking to them see which fits naturally. Congratulations on your new piggies.

Thanks, I'm definitely in no rush to name them. I'm waiting to see how their characters develop, so far:

My ginger and white wants to be alpha, he chases the tortie and tries to budge him, next minute though they're cuddling up together, so I'm monitoring that. Despite the fact that the ginger dude wants to rule, the tortie is more adventurous and is the first to check everything out. He also seems more interested in watching what you're up to outside the cage. The ginger and white only ventured out of the hide once the tortie did, and he will run off much more easily than the tortie. The tortie will sit while you pet him thus far, but ginger climbs hair which is quite cool. Not sure who will come out top but my money is on my ginger n white lad.

Name and Less

Does the phrase 'naughty tortie' apply to guinea pigs or just cats?

More pics of the boys. They have a dominance thing to figure out between them, I'm hoping it won't take months because my heart leaps whenever they chase and corner each other. I've researched dominance displays but is it REALLY obvious when they want to kill each other?

Also, should I take the three way tunnel out and put my bigger tunnel in?...in the three way tunnel you can just hear them, in the bigger hay tunnel I reckon you could see them as well.

SO...Piccolo and Flute don't suit them really...nor do Gerald and Finley...Weirdly, I sense the ginger one is a Mycroft (Mykee) He's serious and the more I look at him the more I see Mark Gatiss lol. The tri-colour isn't a Sherlock Holmes character though, he's a clown, and he's sociable, he's the happier, good-natured one of the of the two so far. I'm not sure...by nature, he's a Figaro, but Mycroft and Figaro don't match. He isn't a Morse, but Morse would fit Mycroft, and he might be a Martin, but I don't think so, and Martin sounds less upper class than Mycroft.

Maybe I've just always thought Mark Gatiss looked a bit like a guinea pig...LOL

I'm now thinking J.D. and Jekyll, thoughts?
