Hi there, My names Jenny, I'm from the UK and about three weeks ago i got two new guinea pigs, their both sows and are from the same litter, the are abyssinian's. Buttercup is a ginger/blonde colour and Skittles is grey and white! Buttercup is the boss and i feel a little for Skittles but they're always cuddling up and running around together so i think their friends. The second week i started hand feeding them and trying to stroke them, the love taking food from my hand but their not too keen on my being stroked when in the cage, I started getting them out for short cuddles and they seem to enjoy them, they make this cute sound when i talk to them like their chatting back! I can't believe how much hay these girls eat it's incredible... Any-ho it's nice to meet you all, i look forward to hearing about your guinea pigs and letting you guys know how i get on with mine!

Hiya Jenny! And welcome! Your Guineas sound so cute and it sounds like you are already having so much fun with them! And yes Guineas go through hay like it is water pfft. There is so much going on here and so many people willing to help so if you ever need anything don't be afraid to ask. I'd love to see some pictures of your piggies when you get the time.

Hi, Thanks for the warm welcome! I got a lil a pic but they piggies weren't to happy about a big black camera thing, they think it's really scary! I didn't want to stress them out so when they get more brave I'll snap some more... Attachment Deleted

They are so cute. I love their coloring. Welcome to the forum. I have found it a valuable source of information since I am also new to owning Guineas.

Welcome, Im new to the forum as well. I like it so far. If you have any questions please ask. I think your piggies are adorable. I have two american short hair females Gidget and Gemini. I got them in january and March of 2012. Just keep on cuddling them, talking to them while in the cage and give treats during lap time. It takes along time plus it doesnt hurt to have a blanket they can hide in if scared.

Welcome! Im a newbie too. Youll love all the free info and experiences shared here. The adorable photos of everyone's pigs always manages to make me smile. Also makes me want lots more piggies because of how gorgeous some of their coats are. Your skittles has a striking grey to her and buttercup is aptly named.
