I can tell you that newborn guinea pigs are one of the most precious sights in the world. Sadly though, they only stay small for about 3 weeks and then they are already about half the size of their parents.
At first I was determined to not keep the babies. But it was difficult to say goodbye to my first baby guinea pigs. We also were going to have to separate Tetris and Strawberry, who would then be lonely. But fate stepped in by making one baby a boy and one a girl! By keeping the babies we could pair them off without leaving them lonely. |
Galactica is the boy. His original name was "Strawtis" but, in honor of his father who was named Tetris, we decided to call him Galactica. I'm also a bit of a nerd about my love for old school games. Galactica is super sweet and enjoys being held. He likes to visit with the cats as well.
Tetriberry, who's name just stuck, is our girl. She's very shy and doesn't enjoy being held like the rest of her family. She will however, come visit you for a treat!
