I love how animals have different personality's! I would describe Toby as very shy. Even though I've had him for three years he's very shy. He loves a nice cuddle and I love hearing him purr x>>xx>>> When I sit him on my bed he starts running around then when we're in the living room and I set him down on the floor to run around he just get's scared because he's too far away from me and comes running back! What he hates most is if you accidently touch his "spike" if you have seen my pictures you will have noticed his big mohawk lol :(|) He loves it when I play with ribbons with him, I keep drifting it up in the air and he bounces and tweaks until he gets to chew a little bit of it then we have a light friendly tug of war Lol.
He's such a character.
 
my one guinea pig squeak is the protector she is always there protecting the others first whereas bubble, the slightest noise she is hiding!

Lol yeah Toby hears a noise and completely stops what he's doing then yeah tends to runaway! He always hears something when he has food in his mouth so he could be standing still with a big bit of lettuce hanging out of his mouth lol!

They really are Toby's a big baby most of the time. Once when I went to get his nails clipped he squeaked the entire store down then peed on the man Lmao
 
My ellah is like the princess - shes pretty much OCD when it comes to her cage.. she seems to get very upset when bailee poos in the 'non poo corner' its funny! Bailee is the tomboy she likes to play and run and jump and hide and shes sometimes fiesty when being held.. Tucker is the oldest hes like the protective older brother.. and hes a snuggler too hes so sweet.

Aww they all sound fantastic!
 
Squeeky McCheeky is the forward one... always first to the bars, first to get in the way when i am cleaning, only one to wheek for food and the only one to stand on her hind legs to see whats going on...:))

Bigbum McBumchum is a big girls blouse... He likes to think he is in charge but really the girls boss him around. He is a sneaky theief and will purposely steal one of the otehrs bit of food if A) it is bigger than his or B) they havent eaten it all as quick as he has... He LOVES his hay and will squeak when i put some in and bury himself in it...zzz

Scarey McFairy is a mystery... She is the nervy one of the bunch... SHe like sher hidey hole and claims it as her own and gets irate if one of the others barges in unannounced... All i hear is rumbles and annoyed chatter most of the time!rolleyes

Excuse the spelling it is 1am and i am tired and just got in from work!
 
Garry is my quiet boy - he's a little bit 'Father Dougal'. He spends much of his time in the pigloo when he thinks there are people around, or he hides by the hay rack which he thinks makes him invisible...he's my cuddly pig though and will happily sit for ages. Likes to take food from you when he's out for cuddles, but only when he's sussed out what it is!

His cage mate Minty is the brave, cocky one. He quite often lies spark out in the open area of the cage and will lift his head and look at you accusingly out of one eye if you disturb him. He likes sweets (only not too often) and will come to the cage door when he thinks he has a chance! He's a nosy boy too - if he sees you at the other cage, he's up on his hind legs, in case he's missing out!

Benjamin is a boss pig. Big chunk of a thing and he knows he can throw his weight around. He is always out to see what he can get and you don't even need to enter the room for him to be up at the bars, chewing. He's a to catch, but when you do, he likes a cuddle as long as he's getting a treat. He'll nip you if he wants to go back, not in a nasty way, but just enough to let you know what he wants!

His cage mate Dave is the new boy (ish!). He's coming out of his shell more and is picking up lots of Ben's bad habits! He's been confident since day one - as soon as he arrived at my house, he was sat on my knee taking food from me... He is like Ben's shadow - and is really turning into a mini me! He likes a cuddle too, although he's not quite figured out how to tell me he wants a wee!

All the boys love running around in their pool - Ben and Dave really go mental! They are all sooooo different, but I love them all the same!x)
 
Tinker has an inferiority complex and is slightly socially challenged. He will only tolerate Leo and no other guinea pig.

Leo has little pig syndrome and always thinks he is bigger than he is! He will run up to the dog or the rabbit and start squeeking at them as if he is saying "follow me, come play with me". He is also very vocal but turned Simon Cowell down for a record deal as he wanted to stay true to his roots!

Franklin is a bit of a poser and likes his burberry far too much. Get a camera out and he is there in a flash. Vogue wanted to piggy nap him but seeing as he has a fear of travelling he would never make a model.

Benjamin is the shy quiet type. He goes with the flow and follows the pack. Quiet happy munching on some hey. He has excellent karma and is destined to be the next guru of the group. Piggy diplomat in the making.

Thomas suffers from OCD and is totally obsessed with the water bottled in the cage. I think he is going to start giving out water tokens soon and allocating the other guinea pigs time slots! He is also as mad as a hatter and never walks but bounces from one side of the cage to the other. He is the boss of the food bowl and gets very distressed if food gets spilt and runs arround picking bits up and spitting them back in the bowl. He is the resident cleaner.

Thats my lot :)

Toby has become quite grumpy over the past week or so I was letting him run around my room today and I lifted him a few times (he does not like this at all lol) and even bit me lightly on the finger :O He's never bitten me before :O
I'm sure theres nothing wrong with him he just doesnt like to be lifted by surprise ...Mr grumpy bum
 
My Cookie is very bossy and chats her teeth if you tell her off. But she lets you know when she wants to go to the toilet when she's on people, by raising her head in your direction. She also is nosy, everytime i eat something, she looks my way and wants some too :))xx>>>

With Maisey i've only just had her so i dunno what her personality is yet.
 
guinea pig personalities

x) Katie is very vocal,especially if food is on the horizon,and she can't bear to be apart from her sister Kim.She is quite shy,whereas Kim is very laid back,and really lives up to the name guinea PIG,as she will pinch all the best food,if she gets the chance.
They are both my sweety pies !

Lol lol Toby is quite bossy too, if he doesnt want to be lifted he gives you the look of death Lol quite cheeky :P
 
Peter - i call him squeeky Pete, he is the most vocal out of the others, he is the biggest and eats the most from hand, not sure about cage food though.

Harvey - is known as cheeky harv's he is a little monkey and always trying to climb out of the box i bring them inside in. he is the smallest and a little bundle of fluff.

Jordan - fiery J, is just that shes very fast, they all are but she is the most. shes starting to slow down now the bigger she gets and is inbetween Harvey and Peter weight wise but had a big weight gain this week. I'm guessing due to the babies.
