Heres Dorothy aka - Dot or roff roff or roffy. Has a really girly girl princess attitude, plays victim all the time, always feels left out even though she's spoilt rotten. But i love her for it. Shes 3 next month, had her since she was a few months old, the time has flown by.

View attachment 106275and here 👇 is Bernie her husboar, aka bam bam , or if up to no good we say Bernard!

Hes often the vitctim of veg theft by Dot above, such a mischievous little character, loves to sit on a carrot cottage roof to chill out,and if he's not doing that, he loves nothing more than to zoomie round winding Dot up. He also loves chilling out for a back scratch at lap time. Lovely little character and i hope.we have many more years together.View attachment 106276Together View attachment 106286

Forgot to mention, as a pair, instead of the pigs, we call them the wigs! Kinda got it from using the word wheek from wheeking and pigs 🤣. And dots dodgy looking bottom lip is ok☝️ shes stuffing her face with parnsip lol
 
Smokey: Big attention seeker, very noisy and adventurous, likes to explore and jump on top of things, as well as chewing toys.

Bacon: Quiet, very cuddly and also adventurous, hogs the bed, loves food and is always the first one to lie down and get comfy on a blanket/bed

I love this idea!
First up is Rocky. He is an angry little guy, though most of his anger comes from fear. He is the typical egotistical jock. He used to be paired with Capone but after they fought I had to separate them. We've been to four rescues and haven't been able to find him a match yet. I think he might just want to be on his own seeing as he doesn't like humans either.
IMG-0539.webp
Next is Capone, the sweet little aby/peruvian cross! Capone is only two, but he is an old man at heart. He will sit in his favorite hidey and munch all day (I put a pile of hay right next to it) if you let him. Cuddle time on the couch while watching movies is his favorite activity!
IMG-1930.webp
Last is the sweetest of the three boys, Dulce! Dulce is a teddy (teddy bear!) who loves snuggles! His ideal day would be a lounge in the hay pile while munching on a sweet pepper. Dulce is the loudest of the three as well as the most energetic, though that's not hard.

Love this!

This is Oreo. He's the cutest thing. He's often grumpy - which I love, lol -, but loves petting. When he has lap time, he'll quickly lie down and relax. I love his :3 face in this picture. Oreo has the cutest mouth!

1549602074916.webp

Now this is Shoyu. When he got here, he was the littlest thing, and was always super sweet and talkative. Unlike Oreo, he has never bitten me and he's a licker. But he was a little bit cruel with his brother and hurt him. :( He's still super sweet with me, though. He has this cream-colored fur on his belly which I love!
 
Kohako~His really Friendly towards humans and loves to cuddle, he is also really quiet and loves to explore as he also always knows how to go back inside my room, he also is really really picky as he needs to sniff the treats first before deciding if he will eat it or not.971CCAA6-CA88-4639-A8C7-6F903D6BD118.webp

Farrah~ She is doesn’t like being around humans as she gets really anxious around them and always hide from them, she also doesn’t like going outside her cage but if she see Kohako going away she will follow him as she also doesn’t like being alone, she’s also such a foodie as she will it almost everything you give her.07D35F63-0A9F-4705-B3C1-E1D26A82618C.webp

Them together!~

Buttercup is my first guinea pig (below). He is 1 years old and he's a smooth coated. He's very bossy (when I clean out the litterbox, he must be the first one in) and loves to give me head butts and likes to cuddle more then Ginger. He loves to pull hay through the hay rack and while he has a huge pile of hay in his mouth, he tosses it all around (like confetti lol). IMG_E9046.webpIMG_8962.webp
Ginger is my second guinea pig, he is also one years old and he's a lil pure abbysian rescue. He is very vocal and squeks when he hears me walk in their room, when I pet him, when I rub his back...etc! He has a little attitude and when I hand feed him hay or lettuce, he rips it out of my hand like it's his business and then chomps on it like a camel! he's very submissive and let's Buttercup dominate. They have a super close bond...

Frodo - Grumpy pig, very fussy eater, doesn’t like being on your lap would much rather be under your chin on hiding down your hoody, hates getting his nails clipped and will turn into an absolute screaming monster when you do it, loves a good hidey and sits in the hay bowl when it’s freshly filled.

Loki - naughty pig, always up to mischief. Always up at the bars incase he’s missing something, and is the first to explore anything new in the cage. Will do anything for a bit of pepper, likes to jump and dive off the top of the house/hideys. Absolutely loves a cuddle and will fall asleep on you. Goes mental when he hears the rustle of a bag because it’s been a whole 5 minutes since he’s eaten and he’s clearly wasting away

This is Ted, he is a very gregarious boy and is a right character. Extremely nosey and always up at the bars in case he misses out on something. Loves his food and can be a bit greedy. Has learnt to take food and store it in his bed, then comes back for more! Ted is extremely friendly and loves his cuddles.

24CD45C9-8745-4665-A1D3-8C747B54165B.webp

This is Bill, Ted’s sensible brother! Bill is more vocal an Ted and chatters away, he can look grumpy at times, probably moaning about his naughty brother. Bill is very calm and has a lovely nature. He loves his hay, and likes nothing better than a hay pile to climb into. Bill loves his cuddles and will stretch out and nod off on your lap, if Ted’s not around, a real softy

Here is a pigture of “The Chuckle Brothers”, on the whole they get on very well. Bill will occasionally put Ted in his place, usually because Ted’s is being greedy! They do sit and groom each other sometimes which is so cute x

Elsa is the one that started it all, I fell in love with her at a pet store last year and didn’t know that when I brought her and Anna home I also had Olaf, Kristoff, and Tiana in her belly! Elsa is a strong leader with the others but she is also sweet and cuddly and she gives more piggy kisses than all the others combined!F563A364-8187-4050-9069-C8BBEDEBB4AB.webp
Anna is my most timid piggy. She gets along with all the other piggies and I have never heard her teeth chatter or seen her nip at another pig. She is my 6 year old daughter’s favorite and they share a very special bond!
2A52A593-4007-4A0D-9055-DB4F336B186B.webp
Olaf is a very happy piggy who popcorns and zoomies all day long! He’s also quite the ladies man! He is such a character and so much fun to watch.
16C05CA5-4E43-4DC0-8AAC-4FECDB16730D.webp
Kristoff is a rumble-strutting fool and follows Rapunzel and Belle around all day trying to impress them. He doesn’t have the natural swag that Olaf has with the ladies, but he is a sweetheart.
08477852-BE11-451B-95A6-5B7CB1D6E8D7.webp
Tiana is my 3 year old daughter’s favorite and is a very chill piggy. She gives kisses and is very sweet.
46B477CA-D6E7-48A1-BA64-3A920F6721EE.webp
Chubby Belle is very timid and runs and hides a lot, but once you catch her, she is very cuddly. My mom says she has that traditional dumb, clueless look of a guinea pig.
DE2CFF11-43F8-4BE7-83E8-7C6BE8C283E8.webp
Rapunzel, my therapy piggy, is very sweet but also enjoys putting the other piggies in their place! She loves to be petted and knows how to show off her beautiful long hair.
3C20C2DB-9586-429E-8FDA-7708335F9E06.webp
And then there’s spunky Jasmine the skinny pig. She likes to try to start fights with the other piggies and she does this weird puff of air when she gets mad instead of teeth chattering. She does love her cagemate Anna and her humans, she sniffs and licks me constantly when I hold her.100F3A0B-1CA6-4DA8-8AB6-84B749A05680.webp

Brilliant 😁. I still cant believe how much Tiana looks like a novelty hot water bottle cover in that pic
 
My mini herds have personalities of their own as well.
15DFCC48-0BFE-40DB-ADE5-99FAACDED3F4.webp
Jasmine and Anna burrow under the fleece constantly (which I just fixed today with some Velcro) they trash the whole cage and poop everywhere!
9299C26B-F4EF-4FEF-A4C8-093A77827878.webp
Elsa, Olaf, and Tiana are the tidiest piggies ever, 95% of their poop is in the kitchen area, they never rearrange anything and the hay stays in the kitchen area.
29206B52-87E0-4CFE-9CE1-2D6E4DEA4F3B.webp
Belle, Rapunzel, and Kristoff keep the cage accessories and fleece in place but they poop everywhere and drag the hay all over the cage.
 
IMG_20180701_174644.webp
This is Bruno. He is about 3years old and he is still the king of zoomies, no one has ever caught up to him! He is very kind and thoughtful of his brothers (past and present) he has OCD and goes crazy when things get moved especially his toy rattie!
He's happy for other pigs to be boss but we all know he's the real boss he just doesn't need to flaunt it.

IMG_20190119_181449.webp
This is Harold he's about 1and a half years old. He loves to think he's boss but he's really a mamma's boy. He loves Bruno and apples the most in the all the world! And if you want to pet him he love his bum scratching.

These are my two boys, Parker and Finn. I'm still in the process of taming them so their full personalities haven't come out yet. Finn is on the left and he is very shy. The only way to get him out of his hidey is food, as you can see above. When he wants something, he'll tilt his head down to reveal his deep brown eyes and expose his cuteness:love:Parker is on the right, he is much more adventurous. When he hears me coming, he puts his paws up on the coroplast and wheek. It is the cutest thing in the world! They both love food, hay and chew toys. I love my boys so much! (also excuse the messy cage, I spot cleaned right after that photo was taken :))
 
This is such a lovely thread.
I’m really enjoying hearing about the characters of all the piggies as well as having so many great pictures to drool over
 
This is Gremlin, he's just over 4 years old and he's here chilling after breakfast in his favourite bed, he loves his floor time, disappearing into the cardboard box full of hay that I made with a door cut out, zoomies in and out of it through the various tunnels. His favourite snack is parsley, he hates having his nails trimmed, but loves cuddles every night and trying to put his head in either mammy or daddy's mouth. And he loves chin rubs and bum rubs, purring with happiness.IMG_20190124_104310.webp

IMG_20181127_220242.webp

OMG, I think Russell is part lion! So cute.
 
Cookie (I call her Cookie Babe) is the naughtiest piggy I've ever had. She was an "impulse buy" from PAH when we knew we've got a piggy who would not be longer with us in a matter of weeks. When we got to our car, first thing she did was pee on me! She got the hang of it and is now always spraying wee to other piggies if they seem to annoy her. She also will try to eat anything. She tried to eat our carpet, the ratan chair, would regularly eat some part of the puppy pad (I hate it when she do that!), will eat the newspaper under their bedding, and would always be the one who finishes the cardboard boxes. If there is a sick piggy, she knows whenever I make critical care. Just a very small sound of the bowl being put on the counter in the kitchen, she knows it's CC time and would squeek soooooo loud for her portion! Never fails to know it which amazes me! She is also the only piggy that knows how to kiss me. Whenever I say "kiss mummy" when I carry her, she would give a smal nibble on the tip of my nose. I try to ask her a few times but if she had enough, the nibble turns into a bite haha. She LOVES chin and cheek rubs and it can last 5 to 10 mins if you do it.

IMG_20181006_231051.webp
IMG_20190209_092633.webp

Prince (I call him Princey Boy) is the most laid back boar I've ever known! First day we adopted him, he slept out in the open with closed eyes! He does that almost all the time to this date. He would win the staring contest because he'd just look at you during cuddle time. They have a 2-tier hutch as part of their house. He can get up very easily, but he always hesitate to go down. All the time I have to carry him down or poke him until he goes down. He never got the hang of it! So if he's upstairs the whole afternoon, the girls would be there too and won't go down. Prince eats very slow too (part of it is because he's a dental piggy) so would always be the last one to finish during feeding time. One draw back of this is most of the treats will be gobbled up by the greedy girls before he can have his share, so we always have to give his share separated from the girls. But Prince is the most beautiful boar I think there is! I am so in love with him!

IMG_20180202_235608_760.webp
IMG_20180326_131200_928.webp

Sierra (I call her Sierra Boo) is my most inquisitive and the brightest piggy we have. 1st day from adoption, she figured out how to run up and down the ramp and done zoomies up and down. She also figured out where our bedroom is and would always try to sneek in there to investigate under the bed. She's the one who knows the feeding time routine. A minute past and she would scream murder! During feeding time, she would always call the others first before she starts eating, making sure she doesn't eat alone. She still doesn't like being picked up but she would go to your feet if it's feeding time or she wants treats. She loves turning the hideys upside down. She loves Prince and follows him most of the time. She's only 8mos. old but she now weighs 1300g! She is such a sweet girl but she's very demanding when it comes to food.

This is guiseppe, he's madly in love with Georgie.If I get Georgie out for a cuddle he waits impatiently at the bars till I bring him back.He loves his dill and cucumber and likes to rumble on me while he's eating it lol.He also loves to show Georgie he's the boss by constantly rumble strutting.

This is Georgie on the left, he likes to rumble at me when I put something nice to eat in their cage.Hes a lot more chilled out in his old age (5 years).He also loves dill and cucumber.He likes it when I get guiseppe out as he gets some peace.In this photo I don't know how they managed to flip the cushion in the bed and wedge themselves on either side, I found it very cute and funny.
