So after a lot of consideration we have rescued 2 baby guinea pigs! We have done our research but for the last 10+ years we have had pet rabbits (house and outdoor) sadly our last girl died a few weeks ago. What do we need to know? Also name suggestions please - we have 2 boys.

Expect a lot of pee and poop when handling!
Have you gone for long hair or short hair, we have two long haired girls and they take a lot of grooming, which they hate!

Are they indoor or outdoor OP? I have a little indoor herd, long hairs are harder and need to be trimmed and groomed, my smooth coat gets so cold she goes fluffy though 🤦🏼‍♀️ they're so cute, wait til their little personalities start to come out!
