Junior Guinea Pig
Thought I'd introduce my piggies to you! I think it'd be fun to do this every once in a while to see how they grow!
This is Alp, she is very chill and extremely friendly. She was born on November 23rd. After only two days of settling in she is comfortable with me walking around fast, putting my hand in the cage to feed her and she is a bit more submissive and friendly than Winifred! I thought she was either an Aby mix or a Swiss mix, but I've been told she could have a bit of sheltie in her! (you can't really see, but she is quite fluffy)
And this ginger piggy is Winifred! Only hours after getting her she was showing signs of being more dominant, for example not letting Alp come into a hidey hole and chasing Alp. As the day went on, Alp started being less submissive and ended up being the one chasing Winifred! Winifred is extremely skittish and very easily frightened (hence I only have a few pictures of her) I was watching her and I think I literally just moved my hand and she ran away! She is just a simple smooth haired piggy! My mum says she looks a bit like a ginger rat because of her pointy nose
(you can barely see her in the pic below but she's actually hiding next to Alp)

. Look forward to hearing all about them xx
But, on the bright side, both girls are now getting more confident when I'm around! They both come up to me and sniff me when my hands are in their cage, they both confidently take food out of my hands and I think they are starting to get used to my voice! Yesterday they were chasing each other a lot and I was hearing more frequent, louder teeth chattering! I've had them 5 days now which is crazy, it feels like longer because I'm so used to them and all their shenanigans!
