Meet Zoe.

Zoe is the biggest and also the most food motivated of the sister trio by far. If there is food available she is basically fearless and might be a good candidate to teach some guinea pig tricks. Zoe also provides helpful reminders in the form of high pitched squeaks in case you are late with her breakfast or dinner.

Despite being the largest of the three, Zoe is the gentlest. The only trouble she is willing to cause is to steal the occasional fresh vegetable from the other two. Zoe may also allow some gentle nose pats but she does not appreciate being picked up and may nibble to communicate that dislike. Despite being quite a big girl, Zoe is still pretty quick, so if you need to pick her up for nail or hair trimming we recommend using some sort of shelter that she can be picked up in.
