We now have a boy and a girl and I had got them mixed up.

The black one is a boy and will keep his name as Bert.

The ginger one with a white spot on her head is a girl and has been renamed twice and is now Toffee.

They are in their hutch and settling in but I am not sure about the kids playing in the garden at the same time. They don't know how to be quiet but I guess the piggies have to get used to it.

I have been told different things by the rescue place about how long to leave them before we interact with them so advice would be good.

Also, they have cereal in their bowl, do I put their veg just loose in the hutch, in the cereal bowl or so I need a second dish?

I have been told veg every day and fruit as a treat once a week.

I am so excited.

Sure is.

I have told DH it can be my Christmas present.

Ah cute I love guineas but we have 2 staffies so it wouldn't really work.

Just been to the pet shop and accidently spent £30 on them . They now have a deluxe house to shelter in when they are in their run, some chews, more hay, a toy to fill with food and a chew thing for their teeth. I also got them some curly kale which they have scoffed.

Just got in the run with them, Bert is in the house, and it is spitting, . Will have to put them back as I forgot their cover and one sneezed already this morning.

I bought their hutch and run from the rescue place and have bought this lot -

This bed, chew sticks, grooming brush, this tube, but I would recommend you get a plastic one as mine have weed in it and it won't last much longer.

I have also bought them carrot treats, choc drops, a chew toy, a knaw toy, a toy to hide food in, cleaning stuff for the hutch and 2 bowls and a water bottle.

I think that's everything, not including all the fresh fruit and veg!

It is 5 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot.

We originally wanted the double level one from Pets at home but I am glad we didn't get it as it would have been too big I think.

It has 3 doors. 2 with wire doors so they can see out and one with a solid wood door for privacy.

We have just come back with a plastic tunnel and a ball for them to play with.
