our old boy died in May and we hummed and hahed about getting another as it is upsetting.

we have found a baby boy and he is now with us and he is gorgeous, ginger, brown and white long haired. he is so sweet and settling in. so glad. he is only 2 months old

you can't replace pets and we still miss old gp

Rip old boy.

No, I think you save them wherever you normally save your pics and then click on the "Choose File" button just below the Add your message box when you make your post.

Bit like Facebook, if you do it?

Squeee baby piglets
They do leave a huge , cavy shaped hole in your heart when they die don't they?

When GP1 died we had to fill the space with the two sows - his were huge boots to fill. They are doing the job well.

We do need pigtures

LOVE him!

he is pretty, he had 2 sisters so he had to be separated but I feel a bit mean he is alone but more tricky with boars.

we find it easier with 1 and he is in indoor cage in kitchen so not lonely

haven't had a baby for years'. last 2 were given when they were adults

He's gorgeous (and already computer savvy. Clever boy)

Very pretty indeed. He is sitting, looking very calm. Do you think he could be a good tv companion?

Very cute boy . They do make good tv companions - mostly. One of my boys talks all the time so he's not great but the other watches intently and enjoys anything in a garden/field.

My sows 'talk' all the way through Emmerdale - little toads.
I'm sure they're Eastenders fans but I'm not.

D'you think they'd like a bit of GBBO ?

They may like GBBO although the sight of people doing unmentionable things to fruit/veg (cooking them!!!!) might upset them.

Do they do cookin' n' things on GBBO? I never look further than Paul Hollywood

he's more confident now and settling in well. I think he is a climber.

when we were in USA we saw guinea pigs in pet shop who has plastic houses with a roof which was like a ramp with steps, has anyone else seen anything like that here?
