The guinea pigs

My guinea pig enjoying here bath in the summer!
Altogether we have at the moment, 8 guinea pigs. My guinea pig is a texel called Fuzzy. Three of our guinea pigs are male, although 2 of them are babies. The male we use to breed with is called Rupert, he is a long-haired texel. He has fathered around 15 babies which have either kept or sold to a pet shop. At the moment we have three baby guinea pigs, they are all texels like their parents. We don't name the babies because we know that we won't be knowing them for to long, we just call them by their colour! The blonde one with a white stripe, is a male and we will soon be parting with, the chocolate one with a white patch, we want to keep but might have to sell and finally, the one that looks exactly like his mum. He is grey, blonde, black and brown and looks like a different guinea pig on each side!
