So, here they are. Their first day in their new home. We went to every pet store in Toowoomba looking for guinea pigs, and only one had them. Sad, isn't it? So we bought all three of them. Two girls and a boy.
From left to right we have Chuckles (a girl, Laura's), Guinevere (girl, mine) and R2-D2 (boy, Luke's). We have another 2 girl guinea pigs, and I'll post the photos when I get a decent one.
Guinevere on the day that I got her. She was so little and cute! She was also having a bit of a bad hair day...
The Cage. Laura made the design for this on a servitte whilst we were having coffee at McCafe one day. We built it from scratch with no real plans. It turned out pretty good, I reckon. We'd been searching the internet for a decent design, but they all sucked (in our opinon, anyway). So this is it.
Sniggers is at the back, you can't see her very well because Princess Leia is in front of her, and Guinevere's at the front.
Here we have Sniggers, my new boy, Lancelot, and Guinevere. I kind of want Lancelot and Guinevere to pair up-that'd be cute.
Luke's guinea pig, R2-D2, named after the little droid in Star Wars.
Luke's female guinea pig, Princess Leia.
Laura's second guinea pig, Sniggers. Funny that she named them Chuckles and Sniggers, isn't it?
Lancelot, Chuckles, R2-D2, Sniggers, Guinevere and Princess Leia. All 6 of our little babies. Mum won't let us get any more, because she knows from past experience that they breed like crazy.
Enjoying an early morning breakfast-some parsley. Mmm, yummy!
Sniggers' babies. They were so cute, but they only survived a few days.
Lancelot and Princess Leia. This is the last photo I have of Lancelot. He died December 2007.
Chuckles' baby boy Giggles. He's not a baby anymore!
Princess Leia's babies. She had 5! That's a record for us!
Guinevere, Princess Leia and a few of the babies.
Guinevere's babies. Adorable!
My boy Merlin. He and Guinevere ran off together-she was pregnant with his babies. It makes a cute story...
The babies. I keep forgetting their names.
