Aww they are soooo cute! I have to ask though Kayleigh how do you tell them apart when they are all the same colour? Is it based on ears, eyes, shape etc? Also sorry to hear about the 2 that didn't make it but glad to hear that you have 4 healthy babies and a mummy

Haha it takes practice!! But i will sit for a good hour looking at each pup, they are all silver agoutis but they are also very different, head shapes, ear shapes, eyes and general size. Different shades of silver too and a big difference is their bellies.
The himalayans are worse, i will question them sometimes haha!

Random question time, do guinea pigs ears stay the same size throughout their life like human eyes, I just wonder coz they seem to be born with massive ears, like babies with their massive eyes??

Ears or eye? You used both twice haha. Confused!
Big droopy ears are desired for cavies. And they do grow into them eventually.
Im unsure if the ears keep growing throughout their life.

Haha sorry maybe not worded too well, was meaning guinea pig ears and comparing them to human baby eyes. Odd comparison I guess but I think they both stay the same size throughout life.
