I'm confuzed and new! How do I see a thread to post comments and stuff!? Thanks!!!!! And also how do I meet people so I can have some friends!?

Hi everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to intro myself, I am Sam and my piggies are called Bon-Bon, Suagar, Ginger and Roxy (in that order on the pic) These little girls have been together for a long time and have their own perxonalities I quickly noticed, Bonnie is the boss though around people she's kinda skittish, Sugar is a bit of a madam and lets you know when she wants something and doesn't like being held much, Ginger is a bit of a strop and will growl, kick and bite and be generally bad tempered when you go to pick her up, though she does like a cuddle and to be patted once you are holding her, and Roxy is the darling of the group she loves to be held and cuddled and will nudge right up into your neck.

We used to have two others Princess and Fudge but they have passed away sadly. Princess was mum to Sugie, Ginny and little fudge, who was the smallest and cutest of the triplets, Princess had the most beautiful nature and was so quiet and fudge was also quiet but would chatter away non stop when you held her, we all stil realy miss them but life goes on. Ginger and Sugar remind me a lot of my daughters as they don't always get along with each other, typical sisters, actually I still refer to them as the babies sometimes, even though they are going on 4 now when they were 5 weeks I put them and Princess back in with Roxy and Bonnie and each of the babies paired up with an older female, Fudge with aunty Roxy, Sugar with aunty Bonnie and Ginger stuck with her mum. Now that Fudge and Princess are gone though Ginger has paired up with Roxy quite happily. During the day they socialise together in a group but at night they go into 2 seperate hutches paired up together for the night, I tried swapping them once to see what hey would do but had to swap back as they didn't like it.,  I would love to hear from anyone else wih funy stories about their piggies and their personalities.

You don't have to spend a lot of money on toys for your guinea pigs, with a simple 4 inch PVC Pipe you can make the perfect toy for your cavy. They LOVE to run into pipes and it can be used for their exercise as well.

All you have to do is find a piece of 4 inch PVC pipe and install 2 pieces of wood at each end of the PVC pipe so they don't nibble the PVC and also this way the pipe will not move when they go in it.

You'll need to find an adult to cut 2 circles in the wood so that the guinea pigs can pass freely from the pipe.

Hope it helps you.
