Murdoch	Poirot	Bergerac

She is a tricolor teddy mix with tufty fur! So floofly!!! ------ Murdoch is the most clever out of the three, and loves a good puzzle. She is protective of her sister and understands her disabilities!!! She is super cuddly and will sometimes let me pick her up without panicking!! SHE IS SO CUTE I LOVE HER!!! She eats most anything but is not as greedy chops as Poirot. She likes to nap on the top bunk of their bunk bed! She popcorns a lot and likes to run around in the lounge!! She has very soft fur (but not as soft as Bergerac's!) and it is very thick! She looks as chubby as Poirot but it is mostly fur! She is 200g lighter than Poirot!	She is a tricolor teddy mix with curly wurly whiskers!!! ------ Poirot is my baby.Although she is a baby, she is the largest, at 1300kg! She is all chub and no muscle, because she loves to eat and lie down. Even when she has loads of space and toys she still just goes to sleep! She popcorns a bit but then she goes to sleep and have a nap! She loves food so much, she will eat everything you put in her cage! She and Murdoch are siblings! And they are like twins and sometimes do things in sync! :D She is also super duper cuddly!!!	She is a tricolor shorthair with the silkiest fur ever! All of her markings end on her neck, her body is completely white! ------ Also knows as Burger, Burger Bun, Burger Van and Pretty Princess Death Machine, Bergerac is one hell of a character. She is what you would describe as "dramatic" and "violent" when in the company of other guinea pigs, but is the definition of a little angel when she is with people! She loves cuddles, but she'd never admit it! She is also a fussy eater, and only eats cucumber, coriander, grass and spinach without complaining. Everything else is come and go. Sometimes, she will eat romaine lettuce and peppers. But only sometimes!

There's a kind of skinny pig (bald one) called a werepig which grows a short, fuzzy layer of fur so they look like a werewolf version of the skinny pig (it's true look it up)

Sleep a lot
Eat 4-5 meals a day
Sometimes you will look at them and cry because they are so cute
Are living potatoes
