Aw.... thankyou
My daughter is 10 and my son is 8 years.
Feel free to ask any questions, infact another member was asking similar questions only the other day!
Personally I find guinea pigs lovely pets but they do differ a lot to rabbits. They show their affection so differently, my pigs are nowhere near as loving as my rabbits but that could just be the personality my pigs have. I do have one very fiesty little girl in Poppy....now she is a pig with attitude! lol :biggrin2:
My pigs don't crave as much attention as Hope & Harvey, pigs are social animals and love to share their lives with their own kind. Don't get me wrong they love their kisses and snuggles but not half as much, they soon tell me when they've had enough! They are also harder to litter train, somewill some won't, I have'nt managed to train one yet.
They are also very vocal some more than others. I have very vocal and sometimes demanding pigs. Especially you are not on time with their veggies, boy do they wheek for England then!
Their diet is roughly the same as rabbits hay, veggies and good quality pellets. I've found they eat more hay than both of my buns.
Anything else let me know.
I really ought to take a video of them to show you, they look so cute when they run with their big bottoms and little stick legs! lol
