I now have an account on this instance. So here is the official greeting picture of the piggy gang, happily munching.
Cute babies! My urge to to adopt some guinea pigs gets stronger every day.

Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

I am thinking after my senior cat and dog are gone I may get myself a pair! I have always heard lovely things!
They are so cute!
Question, I have multiple friends who have guinea pigs, but they're all quite scared of humans. They're still adorable, but it's hard to get any interaction with them. Yours don't seem that way, did you do anything special to make that happen, or are my friends just unlucky?
Ah, actually they are quite shy. They are all rescued, about a year old each, so probably didn't have the best human bonding experience from early on. Only Hazel (on the right) has no problem with being petted but only while she is eating. :D And they come running to every hand held out to them (because it might have some food).
I am hopeful that they will gain some more trust in the future, but it might take a while.
