Junior Guinea Pig
I've finally got guinea pigs.
Meet Willow and Ruby. They're 4 month old sisters. Willow is brown and white and Ruby is black and brown.
I took them home two nights ago and they've been understandably scared ever since. Though Willow is getting a bit braver as time goes on. She's definitely a lot more confident than Ruby.
I'm so happy to have them. I've wanted guinea pigs for years but because of one thing or another couldn't get them. Now finally I can. And to be honest I'm thankful I wasn't able to before because now I've spent so long researching and feel more confident in caring for them. I still won't be perfect and am sure I have a lot to learn but I'm glad that from day one they're in suitable accommodation.
I'm slowly introducing fresh veg into their diet as they were only on hay and pellets and they seem to be liking it (after the last few days of hiding until I went away and then eating, Willow came and took a piece of cucumber just after I put it in her bowl )
The pictures aren't great as they're still very scared and I didn't want to frighten them anymore but I'm sure I'll have tons of gorgeous pics in no time.
I'm so happy to have them and can't wait until they feel safe and know they're home and loved.
