Introducing... Mary's guinea pigs!!

Hi! As you can probably tell from the title I am here to introduce my two darling piggies! But first I'll tell you a little bit about My previous pigs. I was seven years old when I got My first two guinea pigs for my birthday, I named them Diamond and Ruby. After Diamond and Ruby passed away from different illnesses, I started doing lots of research and my parents bought me another guinea pig named Carla. I had had Carla for a year when I read that guinea pigs like to have buddies, so I added Delilah to the family! After that, I saw an add on craigslist for two baby guinea pigs from an accidental litter and they were advertised for free! I just knew I had to get them. So I emailed the owners and pretty soon I had four sweet pigs to take care of :) Recently both Carla and Delilah passed away, so that left me with two. And here they are!

       
This is Xerxes (zerc-zees). He is a 2 year old male guinea pig.
                                     
He is super fluffy! and really sweet. (Please excuse the messy cage)

And this is Esther! She's Xerxes' sister (from the same litter) but they look nothing alike!

She's a black and tan Peruvian. She's a little skittish but very sweet :)

I'm hoping to get a friend for Esther (if my parents will let me :). If you were wondering, Esther and Xerxes do not live together right now. They were living together when I first got them, in August of 2012, and Esther had 2 babies last April! but something went wrong and both of the babies were stillborn. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about me and my guinea pigs. Thanks for reading! ~ Mary
