New guinea pigs maybe? Yes!

The girls are home. They are a mother/daughter pair of skinny pigs. I have them in the big enclosure. I gave them hay pellets and a plate of veggies. It has been an hour and they are still eating frantically. They didn't even stop to look around. They saw food and the rushed it.
Someone I know got the two girls and was excited about getting them. She was not so excited about looking after them. I think there were probably many times when they had no food and had to wait until someone thought of feeding them.

They are with me now and they are going to get more food than they know what to do with for the rest of their lives. 

They are so funny looking without hair.

They didn't even explore, they just started eating.



Mum is shy, she dragged some of her food into the house.


They are beside themselves with all the food they have.


There is hay too and they can't resist that.


Now they are taking turns between hay and veggies.



They are still eating.
Just wait until they see the plate of veggies in the morning.
Wait until they realize that the hay and pellets are an unlimited supply and they never  run out.

I have them on fleece blankets. It will be warmer and softer on their skin. 
I might need to make some fuzzy jumpers for them from old socks. 
Life for the girls just got a whole lot better.

Now I need names.
