I have cuddled them 2 or 3 times today, think Ludo needs a bit more work but on the whole, I can get at least 10 mins out of them! :<>

I am certain Ludo just nipped me though. 8...

Hoggle shoves his head under my chin sometimes and it is really cute! I stroke them behind their ears and stroked Ludo's cute little nose!

I just revamped their cage and give them loads of curly kale!

Here are a few pics! ^)

Great - they are settling fine.

PS: Curly kale is one of those foods you should not give too much and too often.
 
Ooops, I just replaced it cos it went quick, having said that, they ran out a while ago and I have been feeding them on herb salad.

How often should I be giving it them?

Would Ludo have nipped me really? It just felt like it. 8...

Hoggle was the shy one when I got them now they have swapped personalities! I don't want to end up getting closer to Hoggle because I don't think it is fair but Ludo doesn't seem to like me. :(
 
You will alway have a piggy that is cuddlier and one that is not so keen. Ludo will have probably tried to tell you that either he doesn't like it or needed to go to the toilet. you will come to love Ludo for other things!

Here is some good info about a balanced diet. There are some very useful thread is the GP Care Refernce section. It's worth having a read through it! http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=37030
 
Ludo is gorgeous so even if he doesn't have the personality, he has the looks! 8;)

I think Hoggle is a runt to be honest, he is very small. Ludo had a rounder body and chubby cheeks but I think Hoggle has small pig syndrome, he is very confident! :(|)

I love them both equally but although Ludo doesn't like much attention just yet, I don't want him to think his brother is getting more.

How can I encourage him to come out of his shell?

Thanks for the link!
 
Patience and persistence - some piggies take longer! It is a lot easier to fall in love with the cuddly, cheeky ones, because they are easier to bond with.

Give it time, and you will find a way with Ludo. You have had him for only a short while!
 
Thank you! :)

Ludo is a nightmare to get out of his snuggle sac, he clings onto it with his claws! hehe - I will spend a little more time with him and see how he gets on. It is considerable how much less he wants to be in my arms than Hoggle.

I have just bought Labyrinth on DVD in honour of them! :(|):<>
