i am holding a baby guinea pig?

we just bought him a few hours ago. his name is timmy, he is 3 months old. he is our timmy pig. lol, get it?

he is skittish and totally sweet and adorable. he has the cutest floppy ears. think my boyfriend will be jealous that I hold and kiss him all day? lol. its been a while since I have had a guinea pig, and I am so happy. he is so little, his whole body shakes when he purrs. I love him so much. any cool, personal stories about your own pigs?

Update:

I will start. I had a guinea pig who was half blind. he was the sweetest little piggy. never ever wanted to hurt a thing. one time, my mom piled so many crackers in her soup, you couldn't see the soup! he came over, stole a cracker, and ran away. it was really funny.

Update 3:

the blind one was named barney, after the purple dinosaur. one eye was fine, but as he older, it started to go, too. he was such a nice piggy.

and we took a piggy from my grammy, who took it from my uncle, who took it from his friend, and her name was ginny. ginny the ginny pig. lol. she loved me. she would eat my hair all of the time. we figured out she was grooming me! barney passed away with diabetes at the age of five and a half. I don't remember what happened to ginny.

    About 7 months ago, I got a year and a half old guinea pig from the SPCA and named her Lulu. She's a chubby Abysinnian pig and she loves to be pet. After realizing that they're better off living with others, I found my next pig Clover at PetSmart. Two months later, a friend from work said her friend's guinea pig had babies and told me to at least come with her to look at them. I found this sweet shiny little black baby pig about the size of a hamster.. very calm .. and brought her back. They all live in a big cage together and I love them. They love to leave their cage and run around my apartment and they're especially excited when I bring them carrots and celery. Whenever they hear the metal on their cage clink, they know I'll open the door to let them out and they get excited and start chirping. I spend so much on them..can't help it. :p

    I had one guinea pig before these three in the past... and unfortunately, my research on here prevented me from providing him with the best care. I read on here that guinea pigs do best in very small spaces, and I thought he was happy in his little cage and didn't know they were afraid of noises and needed socialization. To this day, I still feel terrible that I didn't give him the things he needed even though I did love him, give him baths, and let him out of his cage to run around.

    I bought a guinea pig and named her cleo I did everything with her and she would happily sit in my pocket and go everywhere with me a couple months had past and I was back in school and I couldn't spend the same amount of time with her, I downloaded this app with guinea pig noises and she seemed sooooo happy and it made me feel extremely bad because I knew she wanted a friend but my mum said no. I was selling some baby birds that I hand hand tamed since birth to a pet shop and while we were there I happened to look over and see this teeny weeny little black fluffy guinea pig with a little ginger mowhawk, I instantly feel in love with her but the owner said she wasn't for sale because she was sick and someone had left her in a box outside the shop . I almost cried when I heard they were going to put her to sleep and then my mum popped up and asked if she could have it if we would take care of her and the man just handed her to me. I started crying from joy and we went straight to the vet, turns out she was just hungry and possibly a runt of a litter , I set alarms all through the day and night to wake up and syringe food and water into her and then when she was better I let her finally meet cleo. Cleo was sooo happy to finally meet the guinea pig she would scream to all day long. I named the little black one bonnie and they are so cute together. Bonnie follows cleo everywhere and they clean each other. I love them both so much
