We got Smokie when he was around 4-6 weeks old in November 2000. He was tiny and I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him! He is now much bigger and a very friendly, talkative and cheeky guinea pig! He is greedy and will try to eat everything. His favourite things to do whilst I'm not looking is nibble the TV controls and eat my clothes! He loves it when people talk to him, and gets scared of open spaces... yes - I have an agoraphobic guinea pig!
