Gah! Hamsters! You call those hamsters!?

Trianna · July 2009

Well my aunt called one day and said her grandaughter(my 7 year old second cousin) was getting a puppy, and asked if I would take her hamsters. So I said sure. Well, I guess my aunt has no idea what a hamster is, because this is what I came home with: <img src="http://i27.tinypic.com/5orpt1.jpg"; alt="http://i27.tinypic.com/5orpt1.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> <img src="http://i29.tinypic.com/i1k961.jpg"; alt="http://i29.tinypic.com/i1k961.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> Two male Guinea Pigs... Anyone have an idea for names? Right now they're still what my cousin named then, Swirls and Buttons. That really needs to change. Also does anyone know anything about Guinea Pigs? Because I've never had one before.

I love the sounds they make! I know that you may have to wash them occasionally.

I have one, and take care of all my friend's piggies when they go away

[like..7 of my friends xD] If you ever need any help, tell me.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Now I just have to decide what to call them. They've gotten a lot more active lately. when I first got them they just sat and stared. Now they actually run around.

The second piggy looks like he could be named "Clyde" xD

whatever you do, dont scare them while you are holding them... they will poop like crazy... -speaks from experience xD-

The first one has a peeing problem... he peed on my mom, and on the floor, and in their ball....

I had one a while back. But she was really shy. When I got her out of her cage, she just sat there and stared. I had her for like 2-3 years x_x She made a lot of noise at night and ran back and forth in her cage. Cage needs to be cleaned once a week if not more. I had to find her a new home because I couldn't take care of her and all of my dogs D; (Oh, and I think that's the cage I had and I had that bell thing O.O) (and my reply sounded very negative o.O THEY ARE FUN TO HAVE =D)

I've never had guinea pigs before, but I've researched them...From what I can tell many have a nervous nature so if you bring them around kids, be sure to watch them carefully for young child may spook them and end up being bitten...Good luck!

Howdy, Stranger!
