Hi everyone,
I've got some very exciting news: I'll be adopting two guinea pigs this weekend!
We've been preparing their new home all week, researching vets, insurance, food, care tips and all sorts of things to make sure they are happy piggies. Here's the enclosure we've prepared - the ramp between the two levels will be added tonight, we are putting the finishing touches to it and making sure it's safe and secure:
Not pictured in this photo are all the toys, tunnels and "boredom-breakers" I've also got for them to keep them active and entertained. ☺️
Tomorrow morning I'm heading to a rescue in Richmond to meet a few pairs of guinea pigs and hopefully, if everything goes well, bring one (pair) back home with me. I'll post pictures of them next week 
In the past, I've only ever had dogs (and one rescue bird that stayed with me for a few years as well), so this is all very new for me.
Do any of you guys have experience with guinea pigs? Any tips and advice you could share? I've been reading a lot about piggies and watching many videos lately, and all help is very welcome!

Hi @TallTrees, @Mi-Amigo, @Cleoriff and @Anonymous,
I hope all you had wonderful holidays, and I wish you all the best for this new year! My stay in France went really smoothly, I got to rest loads, and the chubby boys are now back home with me safe and sound. Brownie had a few medical mishaps but he's all healed and as wild as ever. They had a couple of presents waiting for them under the tree, things to chew and hide in, their two favourite hobbies
