 Piggie Profiles
Does your guinea pig want to become a star? Email in their "profile", with all categories filled in. The categories are name, nicknames, birthday, favourite colour, likes, dislikes, habits, brief biography and, of course, a picture. If you think up another category, include it, and it can also be considered. This is a separate competition to Guinea Pig of the Month. Email entries to cavybeat@gmail.com
 Odd Sock
Name: Odd Sock Ruffles
Nicknames: Sock, Ruffles (due to her Abysinnian coat)
Birthday: ~February 2005
Likes: Lettuce, being combed
Dislikes: Capsicum
Habits: Chewing her feet
Bio: Odd Sock is a sweet little piggie. She started out quite shy, but has mellowed with age and taming. She is not very quiet, but enjoys a good cuddle (especially if it includes lettuce). In her earlier years, Odd Sock was adept at obstacle courses.
 Mushroom
Name: Mushroom
Nicknames: Mushy, Mush, Squishy (see below)
Birthday: ~March 2005
Likes: Grazing, cuddles
Dislikes: Having her face touched
Habits: Squeaking for food, "talking" to people, escaping
Bio: Mushroom is a crazy piggie whose main source of entertainment is frightening those stupid humans out of their wits by escaping at every opportunity. She has been known to work at loosening run pegs for hours by smashing them up and down with her teeth, before slipping through the resulting (impossibly small) gap. Hence, Squishy.
Allopoka  Name: Allopoka Swift
Nicknames: Allo, Hello Allo, Marshm-Allo, The Doormat
Birthday: ~January 2006
Likes: People (except veterinarians), cuddles, her reflection, watching TV
Dislikes: Going to the vet
Habits: Purring at her reflection, possibly chirping, purring in general
Bio: Allopoka is famous for her tameness and quiet personality, and infamous for her extremely spiky nails. She earned the name "The Doormat" for allowing herself to be picked up and carried, while remaining completely still. She has also been known to be placed on a towel in a room, left, and found in the same location minutes later. Much to Mushroom's vexation, Allopoka holds the title as the only piggie to have ever escaped from the hutch.
Flossy
Name: Flossy
Nicknames: Flossy
Birthday: 1998/1999
Likes: Cuddles, people
Dislikes: Having her nose touched
Habits: Continual pooping!
Bio: Flossy was a sweet guinea pig who loved people. She was known for her tame personality. Flossy was lead pig of the early herd, and other guinea pigs would come running at her commanding squeak.
Fluffy
Name: Floffy
Nicknames: Fluff
Birthday: 1998/1999
Likes: Gentle cuddles
Dislikes: Excitement, cats
Habits: Running away, purring
Bio: Fluffy was very shy, but if gently cuddled would often begin to purr softly. Her finest hour was single-handedly frightening a cat -- Fluffy jumped out of the shadows in the hutch, startling the cat and making it run away (the hutch was entirely secure, but there was a cat that sometimes lurked around).
Holly
Name: Holly
Nicknames: Hol
Birthday: Late 2001
Likes: Playing, cuddles, being stroked
Dislikes: Baths
Habits: Scrambling onto people's shoulders
Bio: Holly was a lively pig who rivalled even the legendary Bing in terms of orange-ness. She was also known for some escapes, and named after the Christmas holly because of the time of her arrival.
Twinkle
Name: Twinkle
Nicknames: Twinks
Birthday: ???
Likes: Being patted, Allopoka
Dislikes: Vets
Habits: Peeing on the vet!
Bio: Twinkle was quite old when we got her, and was sadly with us only a short time. While she was sick, Allopoka watched over her carefully. She displayed a quirky personality and disregard for authority.
