the lady who we got him from said he was a boy I have yet to take a look see for my self yet


we will be getting him a friend in a few weeks we wanted to get him used to the kids & I first befor getting him a friend who he will be spending most of his time with.

so far he has been very quite I was hoping for more noise do they get more vocal as they get older? also are there any tellings to guestamate on his true age like with budgies? he is a small thing I will try & get a good sizing in the pictures to come later here are the pictures enjoy

Ooooh so cute! Congratulations!! :hearts

I don't know a huge amount about piggies so can't answer your questions I'm afraid, but there are some very good cavy sites out there with great advice.

He is adorable. I love his coloring. Sorry I can't answer your questions but he's a cutie!

He is adorable, congrats!

They do tend to get a bit more vocal as they get to know you. Guinea pigs are a bit shy by nature, but when they warm up to you trhey make lots of noises.

When he's hungry, he will soon learn to yell for food with a loud "wheeeeeeeek!" sound. When he's 'in the mood' when he's mature, he'll do something called rumble-strutting, where he'll litterally strut around making a little growly rumbling sounds. When he's snuggled happily into your neck being cuddled and stroked, he'll make a happy chattery purring sound.

It might take him a while to get comfy enough to do this stuff, but guinea pigs are awesome little pets and some do end up being very loud .

He is beautiful! I would love to have a guinea pig, but it's the one thing my hubby won't let me have - for some reason the WHEET! sound makes him nuts. He lets me do everything else, so I have to let this one go.

Congrats!

Some are noisy others never make much sound. I got lucky and mine never shut up. :grumpy:

He is cute. My guys say hi.

ADORABLE!!!

PigPig used to hear the fridge open and he'd immediately start "FWEEEP, FWEEEP!!"

I loved him so much. I miss him
