We chose our gorgeous guinea pigs!

Me and DP went to pick our guinea pigs tonight at the breeders house. She was soooo lovely and we spent an hour there chosing them - we held loads. She had some 3 day old baby guinea pigs and we held those too - sooooo sweet!

I had already chosen a gorgeous fluffy black and orange striped piggie, and then we chose a silky orange and white one, and a long haired white one. We were only getting two originally but DP fell in love with them and just said we had to get all three. TBH I don't think he expected to like them at all so it was lovely to see him so smitten.

She will home them together until we pick them up, and so if they do fight (as boys can) she can sort things out. It should be ok because they are all still young.

I we named them Bertie (black one), Milo (orange one) and Chester (white one).

They are so lovely, I am very nervous of most animals but they were just so lovely, dead easy to hold and lovely and cuddely.

We pick them up after the wedding - which i think will be nice because it will give me something to focus on, especially as I will probably still be off work.

They look huge but they are all 10 weeks or less so still babies really.

She also sold us a massive cage for £20 v.good!

They are absolutely beautiful.

Hope you have lots of fun with your new additions. They will bring you many years of joy...and being shouted at first thing in the morning 'feed me, feed me, FEED ME NOW!'

Me thinks that one of them will be the dominant one and try shagging the others. Our main boy does this, and little man runs off..or is submissive.

But they are calm, easy to handle..and ours love nuzzling in the nexk and snuggling behind our hair on our shoulders.

Awww- gorgeous! The black one is a beauty. Glad you bought all three- we usually end up with a white one with pink eyes( we've had three) because the ones with pretty marking get bought and my daughters make me buy the lonely ugly ones! Ha! Always end up great characters tho

She had LOADS to chose from which was good as I am fariyl shallow when it comes to guinea pig looks!
