 * Animal Reception (debut)
 * Salad Follies (first major role)
 * Canine Romance
 * A CP Christmas Miracle

Personality
Ralph is very energetic, sweet and has a love for food. Though he rarely may not seem to like Sour Sweet, he sometimes tries to get her into doing stuff he wants to do. Sour Sweet seems to have some trouble telling him to listen sometimes though because he only communicates through squeaks.

Ralph sometimes can be picky, wanting a salad perfect to the last detail instead of the carrot salad given to him (which received backlash when his owner and the other pets soon found out about his behavior). Still he remains his friendly nature, as he likes to run on hamster wheels and has a tendency to scamper around in hamster mazes, even running in his own hamster ball or in his cage when he and his owner Sour Sweet travel together sometimes.

Despite his immature and jerkish behavior (which he got from Angel Bunny), like India, he does get comeuppance from his owner Sour Sweet and the other pets, as he seems to regret his behavior. Ralph can get easily scared if he discovers that Angel Bunny is the one who is the influence on the latter's behavior. Nonetheless, he is still a very curious and friendly Guinea Pig who is friends with the Crystal Prep Girls and their pets.

Ralph, like the other pets, is first introduced in Animal Reception as Sour Sweet's selected pet. He can be seen eating veggies or running in his hamster ball in the episodes he appears in. In Ralph's first major role, Salad Follies, he gets mad at Sour Sweet for wanting a salad made to perfection, as he discovers that the other pets know about his behavior towards his owner. He also appears in Canine Romance as he and the other pets help India's romantic relationship with Thunderbass's dog, Rocket.

Trivia

 * In real life, Teddy Bear guinea pigs are extremely friendly and love to spend time in human company, as well as with their cage mates. They enjoy being gently handled and are generally quiet, laid back types. This makes them very popular as children's pets.. Ralph also displays some traits a hamster has (being territorial, stuffing food in cheek pouches, etc.).
