I've actually had these guys a few weeks now, but only just realised I didn't introduce them yet, what with Todd and Bobby. I had planned to adopt Deano as company for Ringo. The lady who owned them was an alcoholic, and basically just upped and left them, leaving her sister to step in and care for them, and she wasn't willing to split them up, so I took all three. They had been so badly cared for, they were FILTHY, as was their cage with no bedding. They were all thin and their hair was matted and their nails were long. So yes, I couldn't leave them.

Well done to you for rescuing all 3 they are all beautiful. What age are they? Are they siblings?
Has Deano & Ringo been introduced yet? How did Deano end up blind in 1 eye? Does he manage ok with being partially sighted? Does it affect his temperment at all?
Sorry for 101 questions. Just curious.
Again well done for rescuing all 3 you really do have a heart of gold

They are all in good hands now. I love guinea pigs - I had lots of them when I was a teenager - I just love the whistling sound they make. I love the variety of colours and coats that they have. My first one was an albino and I also had one that had the same colouring as a Siamese cat and some like yours too. Well done for rescuing them.

Again well done for rescuing all 3 you really do have a heart of gold They are 3 and a half, so I'm told. I don't know if they are siblings but they all look similar so its possible! Deano is neutered, but he and Ringo were still having squabbles so we're letting him settle longer and then we'll try again in a few weeks. His previous owner said he poked his eye on a branch, but it doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest

What lovely additions to your furry family. I can see how Hazelnut got her name - its a perfect description of her colour
