Junior Guinea Pig
I have had guinea pigs for years but always from babies due to circumstances, not a choice.
However I just adopted two guinea pigs from a lady who was going to have them put to sleep because she did not have enough time for them. I had a spare cage and she thinks they are girls so I plan on bonding them with my two to live in their large hut and outdoor enclosure.
The lady thinks that the guinea pigs are around 18 months old and girls. Now I am 99% sure that my two are girls from looking at the Cavyspirit website pictures. They are only young so I have never had a reason to take them to the vet to get it confirmed. I briefly looked at the new guinea pigs and they all look the same so I am guessing that the new ones are girls as well. I will be taking them all to the vet next weekend just to be 100% sure before I start the bonding process because we do not want babies.
The new ones looks quite healthy, they are round and have bright eyes. Their claws are really over grown so I will let them settle in for the evening and then clip them tomorrow afternoon. The ginger one has a bald patch between its ear, which I know is common but I just want to double check that it is not mites. I will treat them all for mites before they are bonded.
I have included a picture for you guys. I think the ginger one is a rosette
