I've genuinely broken out laughing about 3 times today thinking about Tony Blair the rabbit. Need to go for some really obscure politicians like a budgie called Eric Pickles or a ferret called Nick Clegg.

It’s just normal now I’m my house , my brother always asks what mad name any new animal has I should of called the turtle David Cameron because it’s a reptile but I just liked Ted Bundy to much at the time ahahah ,my wife wants a Guinea pig for some reason but she knows it’s going to be called Gordon brown she doesn’t get the jokes really I’d like to have Blair’s whole cabinet roster in rodents
One of our past Prime Ministers was called Tony Abbot. When you call him Mr Abbot, it sounds like Mr Rabbit
In addition to Mr Abbot as our PM, our treasurer was Peter Costello. So we had Abbot and Costello running out country for a few years

As long as we all agree that Star Trek > Star WarsThere's nothing wrong with Star Wars and it doesn't make you a nerd. In fact if you haven't seen Star Wars, then you are in the minority so blurrr
I'll go hide now...
You're all mad, but it's hilarious!
Guinea pigs really need to be kept in little groups, so if she's determined to have guinea pigs, you can certainly have a cabinet of them!
Maul is beautiful, pretty cool name for an Oscar! I'm terrible at naming things... I nearly named a cat Isis years ago, after the Egyptian god, and was relieved a few years later for obvious reasons that I'd changed my mind and called her Poppy instead..!

imagine having a cat called isis that would be a shocker but hilarious at the same time, I didn’t know guinea pigs needs company , is a pair ok or would they still prefer 3-4 , I assumed they were similar to rabbits and could end up fighting ,
N yeah my house is strange it maybe a little controversial sometimes but it’s always a laugh lol
I haven't kept guinea pigs since I was a kid myself - many, many moons ago! So my knowledge is out of date.
Back then, I was told and kept them in minimum of a pair, like a couple of females together, a male joined them for mating, then removed the male. But the craze for keeping rabbits and guinea pigs as indoor pets (back in my day, they were in hutches in the garden, and I was spoiled since my dad build large runs in a shed just for my rabbits and guineas - my house growing up sounds a lot like yours, tons of pets since parents were also animal mad) but I've heard since that guineas are happier in groups of like, six or more? Don't take my word for it, do some research, have just seen the odd adorable video of people keeping them in groups, and it is pretty cute! The logic is that since in the wild, cavies do live in little colonies, and they're a prey animal, so they feel safer and happier with a group of them together.
By the way, baby guineas are born with fur, quite large heads, and little back legs, so they kinda look like furry frogs. Totally adorable and fun for kids to raise them! Good way to learn responsibility, nature, genetics etc.
Check out this herd of them though... think of all the names you could have! Be warned, if you keep them indoors, they squeak all the time...

You build stuff and good with your hands, right? I bet you could build something awesome to house a couple of guineas and a bun! I honestly don't know whether they'd be okay together... gut instinct says probably be fine, but would still get two guineas so they have each other for company, even if they live together with the rabbit. But again, haven't kept them in decades, I'm not the one to advise really!
They really appreciate some outside time too, a moveable run you can put them so they can eat grass (so long as you don't use weedkiller or anything) and get some fresh air! But supervised because of cats and foxes. I'd just put them in the outside run for some outdoor time while I or someone else was in the garden to keep an eye on them.
