Cavia porcellus (the domestic Guinea Pig) naturally lives in the Andes Mountains of South America. They were domesticated by the Incas thousands of years ago. The weather in the Andes is kinda like the weather we have now, only colder.

Oh, in the mountains? I thought they lived in the hotter parts of South America, but clearly, I was wrong.

You know, they look quite cute too, and actually more similar to the ones we have than I had thought.

Guess what? these guinea pigs are only found in a few colors, white, black, and grey being most of them.

That's a minor shame, but they do still look nice.

They are cute!

BTW: Yesterday in the female guinea pigs' hutch, we had the fight of the melon. Flower grabbed a piece of melon, but Chocolate grabbed the other end, then Snowflake took it, the Flower, sending Chocolate up the "stairs" to the top part of their hidey-holes. Flower took it, then Snowflake, but then Chocolate slowly came down and grabbed the melon and took it back up. Flower then took a piece Snowflake had found.

Achilles and Ajax never fightover food for a strange reason. Achilles knows Ajax is the alpha male, and always lets him have the first piece.

Clearly, there's no such certainty between Monty and Toby. I wonder whether they even have an 'Alpha Male' as such?

Our guinea pigs have an Alpha Male, and an Alpha Female. Flower tends to evict Chocolate a lot...

LOL they are loving this weather! It was 0 degrees C, and they were all in the open part of the hutch!

Now, that's NOT what I'd expected! I wonder why they like the weather, when we generally don't?

Thats why. They hate the summer weather, Ive seen them, and they just lie about, panting.

In fact, Guinea Pigs are more succeptible to heat than cold!

They all share the same group.

BTW: When we swap their tubes around, Ajax and Achilles go all around their new tube and think each other is a female, while Flower, Chocolate and Snowflake sniff their new tube and occasionally Flower goes through the tube.
