What do you call your guinea pigs?

[theoloveslotus]

Hello all,
I’ve had guinea pigs for a couple years now and was just wondering what everyone else calls them as a collective.
We often say things like ‘time to give the fuzzy butts a snack’
or we call them ‘the boys’
so just wondering what everyone else uses!

 

[fluffysal]

I have The Beastie Boys, Dignified Sir George and his boisterous companion Mischievous Master Boris.

 

[piggieminder]

The boys, the Piggles or the Pigglingtons.

 

[Piggies&buns]

The boys!

 

[Bertie & Jelly]

Yep you guessed it - the boys or sometimes the munchkins.

 

[poggle]

Here they're called the pogs!

When I moved in with my husband I had the original Poggle and he had the dog and the mog, so the name just... happened

 

[weepweeps]

The boys here too.

Their personal nicknames are
Pepper = peppercorn
Pebble = pebblekins.

 

[Pantalaimon]

Mine are piglets or pigs.
Individually each one is Ratty pig or Patty pig.

 

[Grand Guinea Pigs]

The Boys here too! Or just 'the piggies'. Bubba, sweetie pie, little boy....

 

[CTWC]

Me boys.
Cookie is now also 'Cookie the Brave' after his operation

 

[Spaniel]

The Pigs
The Piggles
Pesky rodents

 

[Wiebke]

Mine are the Tribe - several generations of them.

 

[Lorcan]

Goblins, because they absolutely are.

 

[anyar.dris]

I call mine Monsters ...sometimes fluffy monsters, but still monsters.

I still think mine is a boy ! And it's a girl

 

[Wiebke]

I still think mine is a boy ! And it's a girl

Have you felt for the presence or absence of the penis ridge yet so you can feel the gender with your own finger to assure your mind?

Didn’t the vet sex the piggies for you. @jayne ?
