Back to this adorableness.

Without a scale, I am not sure what beasties they are. The pink eye reminded me of a rat, but is it?

More importantly, what are their names? I have to say, if they were mine and I hadn't named them, I would go with Iris and Regulator.

It's a joke that will almost certainly outlive these fora.


Edit: Please note, I am very ignorant about rodents. Because of previous rodent based disasters, at some point the Government decided in its (no, really!) wisdom, that any species of rodent that was not already in the country could not be imported. So I know mice, rats and guinea pigs, but not gerbils, hamsters chinchillas etc etc.

Four month old guinea pigs. Originally I was going to call them Archie and Rolo but I want to wait a few days see how their characters develop.

I had to google that.

Aside: I always loved that Dorothy Parker called her [budgie] Onan because "he spilt his seed upon the ground".

Given that they are both males sharing the same hay box... not so unlike Regulator.

Dunckle has nick-named the boy with 'weird eyes and hair all over the place' Milton after the comedian Milton Jones.
