Wasn't someone looking for some photos?

I'm thinking Camowen for the smaller one. Still trying to decide for the black one, heh.
 
Gorgeous! Great to see they are all ready out and about! 😍

I don't think they quite know what to make of the space lol. They're quite happy to stay in the one corner 90% of the time, but they are having braver moments.

It will take them a while to understand that all that space is for them to play in. Plenty of room for zoomies. Lovely to see them in their forever home. 🥰🥰

I put down a few more of the fleece items to hide in, which has apparently helped. Exploring space safely, the guinea pig way! Camowen's already had the pre-zoomies going on for a bit, a few false starts here and there. And while neither have drunk very much from the bottle, they are both drinking very sedately haha.

Edit: I take it back, I can hear someone attacking the bottle now (I'm in the other room)

They certainly made an impression and have huge personalities. I'm am so happy that the boys have found such a wonderful home with @Lorcan. It was easy to hand them over knowing they will be loved and cared for.😃
 
Gorgeous piggies, I'm so pleased they have arrived safely. It's sad their original owner had to give them up but she can rest assured they have found a fantastic home.
If they are feeling a little timid in their new surroundings it may be worth covering part of the cage with a blanket or sheet for a few days @Lorcan while they settle.

They're not keen on being handled tonight, I'm guessing the past couple of days is catching up to them, but they're happy to let me stroke them, and they're out and about and I'm getting told off, so there's always that haha. My biggest issue is trying to keep that room warm but not *too* warm. Heating's off, it's apparently 21C (it heats up much quicker at night unfortunately) but it'll cool down quick enough too. Snugglesafes are in should they want them, there's plenty of cover available away from the Snugglesafes if they're not interested, they've got hay, they've got water. I'll give them a couple of days to settle before the poking and prodding, it's only fair.

Big thanks to @YvonneBlue for taking care of them, and to @heidii for allowing me to adopt them.
 
Happy hippos! So glad it all worked out for you, look forward to seeing more of them as they settle. But if they are anything like Tallulah hippo they will always be a blurry bottom with ears attached disappearing out of focus lol :)
 
I might just make this my photo thread now, if nobody minds! Trying to replace the fleece in the hidey that Camowen was determined to sit on and refuse to leave. But we got there! And then I realised the nail clippers were downstairs and it was all for nout.

So we had a coriander treat instead for being such a good boy. Guinea pig selfies are hard work.

Great photo. I see both piggies have lovely names now. Good luck with the nail clipping.
 
Wow look at Camowen posing like a model with his profile all lined up for the camera! Gorgeous capture, he definitely deserved coriander!
