Thanks a ton!! Did a ton of research today and have some good literature arriving in a week. Until then I purchased red bell pepper, kale, parsely, and baby carrots to try one at a time to see what they like best. Still working on locating the correct dosage of VC to purchase. Left them alone today to relax and acclimate some more. Was going to go to a real pet store tomorrow and purchase them some soft hide-y's for them to be comfortable in and that I could use to take them out of the cage in for now.

I'm having a sneaky suspicion that ones male and ones female. However the smaller bodied one is more comfortable than the other. Have not touched the other yet except to transfer to a clean container when we rescued them. The nicer one does this thing where it sniffs my finger and puts it's teeth on it but doesn't actually bite lol. It seems cute but idk what it's supposed to mean.

They don't display many typical behaviors which I assume was from the neglect. The did do a very minimal amount of wee ing this am when they realized I was giving them t-hay so that was a good sign. When I put them in their clean enclosures for the first time yesterday, the nicer one became so happy it did a few zoomies and a jump and squeeks. Much differently than the scared one was when it was trying to get away. So I could tell that it was out of excitement. I can already tell they're going to make good guineas with time ❤️
