Feebee and Buttercup have been in our lives for just three days, and already they have managed to wrap us around their fuzzy little fingers!

Feebee and Buttercup – the newest additions to our family – have been hiding in their pigloo together since their arrival on the 22nd. I am sure the almost 3 hour drive home did not help calm their nerves. So we have been leaving them alone since they seem most comfortable when they are alone and the lights are turned off in their room. They did come out of hiding today more than yesterday. They have been really sneaky about their hay, pellet, and water consumption; we know that they are eating, as evidenced in the amount of poopies they leave in a spot they have designated as a toilet area.

They really are very special cavies. I have never witnessed a pair of guinea pigs so tightly bonded. They are been inseparable since they got home, whether they are snuggling together in their pigloo or chirping to each other, signaling their position, as they scurry around their new home.

We won’t be able to share photos or much of anything about Feebee and Buttercup during their 2 week quarantine period. We want to give them their space and let them acclimate to their new environment.

So I’ve put together some highlights from our Twitter and Facebook updates that we shared during “Adoption Day”, January 22.
