Hi! I'm an optometry student, and I love guinea pigs. My husband and I adopted 2 female piggies from a rescue, and named them Inara (a Himalayan teddy, born ~01/2009) & River (a short haired agouti, born 1/22/2011). Inara is the dominant piggy, but is very sweet to River, and she is so goofy and curious! River is still a bit more shy, but has come a long way, and she is very energetic. After having them for half a year, we decided to adopt a 3rd. We brought Inara and River back to the same rescue, and they picked out their 3rd companion: a tricolor, who we named Buttercup, and who is similar in age and personality to River. The trio is doing well, Inara remains top piggy, and they are constantly keeping me laughing. I absolutely adore them. :) *Thanks to Piggiepigpigs for the inspiration to make piggy vids—hers are so fun and informative. Also, thanks to guineapigcages.com for great C&C cage info (I got grids at Bed Bath & Beyond, and coroplast from Signs by Tomorrow).
