Introducing my newest piggies!

Dearest readers,

I'm so excited to share with you guys my newest piggies! They were given to me by a friend, because she couldn't care for them anymore. Anyway, they're soooo cute! I love them to death already!

Here they are!
They're about 8-9 weeks old, although I could be wrong because they do look younger. They're long haired piggies by the way. I attempted to introduce them to Oreo and Socks (a guinea pig I bought two weeks ago, and I've yet to write an introduction yikes!) but it turned out pretty nasty.

Oreo was being very dominant and mean to them and was bullying them around and giving them such a hard time. He's a very agressive piggie. Socks was much gentler towards them but that doesn't mean he was any better. For the time being, I'm just keeping these two brothers together.

On a side note, I actually don't really know they're gender. I know how to distinguish between a female and male (obviously, after 7 years of experience) but they're too young to tell. I'm about 70% sure they're male, but maybe they're not. I'll keep you guys updated!



So you might be wondering what they're names are. Well I've decided to name the white+brown guinea pig Owl. That was literally the first word that popped into my head when I saw him. His bushy eyebrows and chubby face makes him look like a snowy owl! The other one I named Jaqqy. Yeah, pretty weird name but he needed a unique name!


I'm not too entirely sure about their personalities yet. But I do know, Jaqqy is the more reserved, quieter and the peacemaker of the two. Owl isn't tolerant of others bullying him *cough* Oreo *cough* but since he's a baby, he's pretty much defenseless.

Look forward to more Owl and Jaqqy posts and my soon to come Socks introduction!!!

  2. Hi Ashe,

    Guinea Pigs generally don't stink especially if you take good care of their well being and their hygiene. It's important to make sure you spot clean their cages every day and do a "deep" clean of their cages once a week to prevent smelly bedding and odour. Also, make sure you give them baths once a month, especially if they are long haired guinea pigs. Make sure your cage is of adequate space too, as that can trap odour as well.
    Lastly, male guinea pigs tend to smell a bit more than female ones but it shouldn't be noticable if you take care of them well.

    Take Care,

  3. Yeah, well thats what everyone says but they still stink. I'm well aware of how to clean them but unfortunately it doesn't stop their smell.

    FYI taking care of their well being doesnt stop their smell. god, get it right, especially if ur gonna act like u know everything about gps.

  4. Ashe,

    Your comment is rather rude and I never said I knew everything about guinea pigs. I was merely telling you everything I KNOW to try and help you. Clearly, it didn't help so maybe talk to a vet or a guinea pig expert that can help with your problem.

    Take Care,

    Alley
