I've only had them nearly a week, and they're 4 weeks old tomorrow.

They are 'trying' to fly now, eating seed and VEGGIES too! I don't want them to grow up yet.

My baby! I gotta get her/him DNA sexed cause you can't tell if they're female or male because they all have the yellow head (which you can see clearly) and the bars.

These 2 are the ones that are trying to fly.

Awww. They are too cute! Have they got names yet or are you waiting for the DNA results to come back before you start on the naming process?

 

[Renae]

Hehe. Yup we have names for 2 of them, still thinking of one for the third.

One of the Grays - Charlie. [I think this name is for a boy or girl, more of a boys name though, but it'll stay as that name 'cus mum loves the name and chose it. ]

My Cinnamon - Theodore. [From the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks, yesh I adore that name and the little guy Theodore in it LOL. It'll be Theo for short though.]

I just hope my Cinnamon is a boy, otherwise I may have to think of a different name and I love that name so I gotta keep my fingers crossed I have a little boy!!

 

[birdieness]

Awww very sweet. It looks like the back of their heads are plucked though

 

[Renae]

It does, but they're still only very young, I will post more pics of them, but they have all pin feathers coming through on the back of their heads, my Cinnamon is slowly getting the pin feathers, I think it's just a slow process of them actually coming through, should be all covered hopefully in a couple of weeks.

Squeak has the same thing, and he's a lot older then them, I don't know how so, but he might of been plucked, it's been bald [behind crest and a bit on the back of his head] since I got him months ago.

 

[Flappy]

They're so cute. I love the names so far, especially Theo

 

[Renae]

Thanks! I'm glad someone else likes Theo, I love it.

 

[kimmikefids]

lol i had a guinea pig named Theodore.....cute name....and they are adorable.....theo is beautiful...he will be a stunning fellow....are u keeping the 3?

 

[sweetrsue]

Theo is a very cute name! How 'bout Alvin for one of them!

 

[allen]

they look gorgious but i have to agree with birdieness they do look like they were plucked at one time maybe before you got them if you look at the post miracle the wonder chick she is just under 5 weeks old if i am wrong about yours being plucked it may be just the way they are growing

 

[Renae]

Awe, I want a guinea pig! I'm giving the other Gray to my friend once he's tamed and done with hand feeding etc. He/she will most likely be going once he's 10-11 weeks old, maybe a bit longer, just gotta see how things go, but it should be around then, I don't want to, but I already said he could have him/her.

Alvin, I shall suggest that to my friend 'cause his Gray is the nameless one at the moment, lol.

I might ring the guy I got them from and ask him if he knows if they were being plucked before I got them, I hope to god they get some (at least) feathers to cover the bald spot, but like I said they have pins coming through so they're obviously not gonna have the bald spot forever.

 

[sweetrsue]

That is a common place for parents to pluck. They look like their feathers are comming in fine though.

 

[Renae]

O0o0!

Here are pics of the back of their heads where you can see the pin feathers, my Cinnamon was most likely definitely plucked 'cause she/he doesn't have as many pin feathers on the back of her/his head.

 

[allen]

from what i can see i would say yes they were plucked but they will grow back my uncles first clutch were plucked and the feathers grew back

 

[Renae]

That's good, thank god.

My little brother and the Grays.

I can flap my wings, look how pretty they are!

My best friend and Theo.

And just one of Theo loving the cam.

 

[sweetrsue]

It just occured to me. The name Theo could be for a female as well. Theodora! I'm guessing Theo is female. There are a couple of indicators from your photos.

 

[kimmikefids]

lol.....u wanna know something funny?? Theodore my guinea pig actually became Theodora!!! I bought 2...Leonardo and Theodore at the same time....one day I picked up Theo and felt something moving inside him...needless to say Theo was a girl and had 4 little guinea pigs....Fred and Barney which I kept and Wilma and Betty I gave to friends....needless to say I studied how the sex guinea pigs after that lol...I just thought it was funny that sweet said that lol

 

[Renae]

Too funny! How do they sex guinea pigs?

Theodore/Theo/Theodora can be a girls name yeah, so it'll be, Theodora, Theo for short or Theodore, wow she/he's got a few nick names atleast.

I'm actually gonna stick to Theodora I think, you're a genius for thinking of that. I can't wait to get her/him DNA sexed, I should ring up the Vet tomorrow about that, I won't have a chance Tuesday as I'm starting a AIN course, yay! Hehehe.

 

[Avalon_Princess]

You can tell the sex of guinea pigs fairly easily, just examine the uhh bits. Boys and girls ahve different shapes, plus theirs the obvious differences.
