I had said we were just going to stick with one guinea pig, Desdemona, after Emilia and Coco had died. Then another 4H mom emailed the group stating that she needed to find another home for their 2 guinea pigs. I found a modular cage and set it up to fit 3 guinea pigs in our living room. Brownie has the rosettes that make her first stand up (right side of the last picture) and Lilac has short fur (left side of the last picture). It was quite the ordeal introducing them to each other. Lilac got along with Desdemona but Desdemona and Brownie starting fighting to determine who would be "top pig." We had to separate them. It took a couple days of being near each other but not able to touch each other, before they could share the big cage peacefully. I was worried for the first couple of days about what I'd gotten myself into, but they all get along well now!
