We got our first guinea pigs at the weekend for ours sons 9th birthday. Just thought I would say hello. They are settling in, and slowly starting to explore a little more. I'm sure we will be asking lots of questions on here at some point lol! Meet Cecilia and Agatha! image.webp

In the same section you can also upload your avatar (that is the picture that appears with every post you make) and adjust how you want to receive any notifications/alerts.
 
Thank you everyone. Slowly getting round to reading all the great info on here. They are slowly settling in. Heard them chatting to each other for the first time tonight, so I'm guessing there are feeling a bit more settled and confident.
