Guinea Pigs

I admit, I was hoping someone would make a thread where I'd be able to post about my Guinea Pigs!

I own a Guinea Pig Sanctuary. It's just a small - time thing I started when I took in a pregnant Guinea Pig named Darla from our local closing pet store. I had a rescue Guinea Pig when I was younger, that'd we'd found outside during the winter, and after he passed away, I never got any again, until I'd gotten Darla in December.


I sadly just recently lost Darla unexpectedly. Her babies are all old enough that they can do without her, at least, but I cried like a baby all night after she passed away, because in the short amount of time I had her, she really took my heart.

Heavily Pregnant Darla:





The morning I found her babies, sadly one was still born.



Little Monster, who was the runt:



Paparazzi:



Fame:



Jovi:



Poor Darla, she was exhausted with the babies! They all liked to be under her at the same time, haha:



Darla was such a cutie pie:



Baby Line!:



Jovi was a lone boar, so needed a friend, and so this is my newest addition, Hank Hill:



I love Guinea Pigs. <3 I'm also very jealous of yours, because I really want an all black, or at least a black bi or black tri!

 

Oh snap! You guys brought the cute! xD
Ugh! It's ridiculous how adorable they are! I used to have 2, but that was a long time ago.
And I'm sorry about Darla! (*hug*)

Thanks for sharing the guinea pigs!!

 

Certainly very cute.

@ ilovecats, your multicolored one looks pretty much exactly like my old guinea pig.

His name was Marky, and was adorable. I love the sounds they make, lol.

But, I hated cleaning the cage every week, so my mom and I ultimately decided to give it to these kids that went to our church that were interested in him. I remember I picked him up during the middle of a 6 hour road trip when we took a pit stop =P

 

OMFFFFGGGG I LOVE ANIMALS ALL ANIMALS I love fish though the most but I love animals they are so damn cute and all animals love me it like they can sense I'm a good person AHHA and those pics are SO F-ING cute OMG I want to hold them and kiss them ahah aweeeee I miss my teddy bear hamsters I had this huge cage whe I was younger my parents have always spoiled me but the bought me this like cage I could fit in for my hamsters inside my room ahah OMG I loved it!

So cute. My eighth grade science teacher had two guinea pigs in the classroom. I got to take them home for Thanksgiving. One's name was definitely Copernicus, but I can't remember the other's. And I think my aunt has one or two. My parents won't let me have anything even kind of related to rodents. Maybe in a few years.

 

No wait i'm allergic to adorablness

 

Awww I love guinea pigs ^.^ maybe one day I cam get one

 

I have a guinea pig...going on three years now. Her name's Bella.

 

I had a guinea pig in elementary school. He was tanish and his name was Cinnamon. I loved my guinea pig, but my mom really didn't like cleaning the cage. After Cinnamon died I wasn't aloud another one. However, I did have cats and the cats were always trying to get the guinea pig so it was probably a good decision not to get another one.

 

beautiful photos, ilovecats and Wickgaga. i kind of want a guinea pig or two, but i'm afraid my cats will bully them.... speaking of which, ilovecats, do you have cats? if so, how do they get along with your guinea pigs?

 

Thank you everyone for the comments on my post!

I have a cat, Charmander. He is born out of cats who just loooooove to go out and kill (except Charmander is too much of a wussy to do such a thing, lol), but he's fine for the most part with all my small animals. The only time he ever does bother them, is when I have them in the living room for cage cleaning, he'll sometimes try to come and bat at them through the cage bars (which I do put a stop to), but otherwise, he either just totally ignores them, or will sometimes just watch them from afar.

Does sometimes get close though, but unless it's cleaning time batting, won't really do anything:

On an unrelated note, thought Hank was being so cute the other night.

 

thanks, Wickgaga. i'm afraid my cats won't be so kind as they love hunting and playing with (ie. torturing) little things around the house, like house geckos and roaches. it seems like they think anything smaller than them is a living toy. :/

on the other hand, i've watched a million videos on YouTube of cats getting along fine with guinea pigs, so i'm still curious. glad you're cat and guinea pigs get along ok.
