We adopted 2 guinea pigs. The girl who owned them didn't have time to take care of them. The tan one is Aunt Edna (she's feisty), and the grey one is Gabbie. I love it when they make their happy noises! Agnes
Man congrats for giving a home to these two cuties!

However, I gotta agree that these two are pretty darn Cute! ...
Decades ago, I got a GP under similar circumstances. He was so friendly and happy, and he LOVED tomatoes more than any thing in the world. When I would give him one, he would squeal with delight, then dispatch it quickly.
They are adorable! Just be very very sure about sex. Very, VERY sure about sex. Many people have started with two little piggies and ended up with a house very full of them. They reproduce at a rate that puts rabbits to shame.
Much as with rabbits they are not as easy to sex as some people think they are, and mistakes are made... often.
Very, Very, VERY sure. Okay?

How "sure" are you Susan? ...
I am so sure, Lance. I have SO seen what happens when reproduction gets out of hand!

Heck, you don't even need to have two of them! When I was a kid, I begged for ONE guinea pig. Woke up three weeks later to THREE guinea pigs! Three for the price of one, how lucky! Ah, not so much, as it turned out. GP's don't have the social restrictions humans commonly impose on themselves, and don't mind reproducing with the aid of a littermate. We quickly ran out of friends and neighbors who wanted a new pet and ended up giving them back to the pet store.
The babies are so amazing because they are born with eyes open and all systems at GO! A newborn runs across the cage, picks up food and starts eating like he's been doing it forever. Unfortunately, he also starts thinking about S-e-x very shortly after that.
If Edna and Gabbie have been together awhile with no results, though, probably safe to say the are both girls.

Besides helping out a neighbor who didn't have time for 2 cute piggies, what else did I get... lice (not me, the pigs)!!! I thought it was mites so took 'em to the vets. For $80 I was told to bath 'em in Flea & Tick shampoo. Well, at least they're happy and clean now (bathing them was quite an experience)! And yes, the vet checked, they're girls! Agnes
