My new Piggy :)

Soooo. I used to breed Guinea pigs as pets, not snake food. They are one thing I could never feed to my boas. Recently just got another baby girl, planning on picking up a male and eventually breeding to make some cute lil babies!!! :]] :D I am wearing my work shirt, fyi in the pictures ^_^

This is blaze!

Awww she is so cute. I miss our little piggy. He passed away last year.
Good luck with your little girl:D

Very cute. I have been thinking about picking up a hamster or Guinea pig for my son. I had one as a teenager and loved it.

Aww, sorry to hear about your piggy. The breeder pair I had lived to be 9 years old, which is really old for guinea pigs. I am excited!

Thanks, I would say go for a Guinea pig for your son. So many parents that come into our store always get frustrated because if their kid squeezes a hamster to tight or grabs them wrong they bite. Or just bite in general, though I am have some nice ones in the past. Guinea pigs are altogether great pets.

I am worried that if I pick up a hamster or guniea pig for my son that I will want to get 2 and start breeding. I have bread both teedybear hamsters and dwarf hamsters. I miss doing that because they were so darn cute and paid for themselves. I would always trade the babies to a local pet store for supplies.

Yeah, trust me it's very easy when it comes to breeding Guinea pigs. Only takes 2 months for the babies to be born, and when they are out they automatically eat pellets and hay. Most pet stores won't take them until they are at least 4 weeks old, which is a good age. Just want to make sure the female is big enough to carry the babies, so at least 9 months to a year old. The female I had, had 6 babies each litter.

One of my piggies is fixing to have babies, seeing yours makes me wish they came today... there sooooo cute!
