If I was getting a guinea pig...

[Yield]

[align=center]I would have SOOOO got this one!!!!

I think he/she is SOOOOO cute!!

What kind of guinea pig/coloring is that? Looks almost like a dutch bunny :biggrin2:

I think the colour might be called beige, not sure though, but I think beiges have ruby eyes. A lot of people don't like red eyes, but I do

And yep, they're called dutch markings in piggies too

[align=center]=O Aww =)
I think the ruby eyes are pretty =) I had a rat a while back and she was a cream/off-white color with ruby eyes =)

And oh cool 8D!

I think guinea pig and rabbit and rat owners like ruby eyes, and other people don't, a lot of the time!

I have a baby pink eyed white guinea pig at the moment, and everyone on guinea pig forums says he's so cute, but other people say they don't like it

I have a pinked eyed white guinea pig, practically everyone doesn't like him except me!

[align=center]Aww D; Guinea pigs kinda freak me out (but so did bunnies at first). But that one is just sooo cute omg. XP

S/he is cute. It's a Teddy. I have a broken Abyssinian girl. Love her to bits. She's so very sweet and vocal.

Could I keep a pair of GP in this set up now my buns are free range?

For Guinea Pig's you want a big long cage, like this one.

 

[MiniLopHop]

They won't use the ramp/shelves or would they eat the plastic?

 

[Happi Bun]

They really have no jumping ability and don't generally use ramps/shelves unless they are forced too. Sometimes people will add a ramp to the cage I posted leading up to a second level, but the ramp needs to be quite flat and not step at all. They would likely chew on the plastic as they chew on coroplast sides too.

That's actually the exact opposite of the experience I've had with my piggies XD

We never had issues with them chewing the chloroplast (The only ones who have are one of our bunnies and the chinchilla when she gets access to it).

Mysecond piggy, Cuddles, was quite the little athlete and even when he got to three pounds he could jump to the couch from the floor, which is quite high for them. His cage had three levels and he would explore all three, although he sometimes skipped the ramps and just jumped from level to level...

I really miss the little guy, he was such a character.

We just have our one sow, Ruffles, now. And even she can go up and down stairs without problem.

Guinea pigs are actually more capable then people give them credit for.
