The Guinea Pig Chat Thread!

[AnimalsRmyLife]

Hello all! I'm Renee from Idaho!

My first guinea pig was my P.E.W. (Pink Eyed White)/Albino Snowball. She passed away from old age and an illness & apparent locked jaw right around Thanksgiving of 2014.









My 7th grade science teacher had a guinea pig named Lilly who I was able to baby-sit for a short period of time





One my AG teachers at school have 2 female guinea pigs that we bred Spring 2014 and had 3 babies each. (4 pics below taken - April 26, 2014 by AG teacher)









The Orange colored one stays in another of my AG teacher's classroom. Her name is Rita.






The one with two colors on her face is Rita's sister. Her name is Two-Face (you can probably guess why they called her that). I was able to keep her at my house from Thanksgiving 2014 - End of January. Since my dad wouldn't let me keep her any longer, I gave her to my friend who's thinking of entering her at the County Fair this summer and having me, the "Guinea-Pig expert" of the class help.

Here's my boys:

This is Sniffles. He's just a hair over a year and a half old.

This is Snuggles. He's also a bit over a year and a half.

And last but not least, this was Hank. He was 3 1/2 when he passed, but is the first guinea pig I ever had. He made me love guinea pigs.

I'm so sorry to hear that roasted duck. I had a rat die 4 days away from Cristmas! his name was lazurus. his brothers picked on him so he couldent eat. He looked like a zombie. The day i found him, I gave him baby food and he loved it. of course he coulden't grind his teeth down, so he had him get his teeth cut down evry couple of months or so. At exactly 2:00 am we helped him cross the rainbow bridge. That little boy, 7 years of age, had been through so much, and wanted to stay with me till the bitter end.
