Hanging with the guineas

We got two new guinea pigs for Kallen's birthday.  One for Kallen, and another "for the family."  Kallen's is black and named Shadow.  The other is brown and white, and named Humphrey B.  (Humphrey is a hamster in books that the boys have read, and "B" is for "Big" since guinea pigs are bigger than hamsters). They are both males (Eva and I double checked) and they seem to get along pretty good.  We have had a bit of trouble with them doing the Alpha routine, and they have given each other a bite or two, but we are hoping that will calm down once they get used to their new digs.  We built them a cool little hutch out of coroplast (plastic cardboard) and wire shelves.

There are more photos at Jeff's smugmug site.
