The Crazy Pet Channel: Guinea Pigs

Hi readers, the other day I got lots of bamboo for the guinea pigs (upside of having a bamboo bush in the garden!) Bramble: "What are you doing up there Patches?!" Patches:"How do I get down?" Patches: "Helloooooooooooooo" Bramble: "Go away!" My guinea pigs love wild plants and soon there will be a post about what they like and don't like, Book Worm :)

Hi readers, Here is a photo overload! The lovely little(ish) Patches Hay attack! Bramble the bean "I'm posing!" Fluff ball Patches Chillaxing piggie "No photos!" "The suns in my eyes" Star toes! "Can I eat your camera" "Patches is photo bombing!" Patches"But I want my photo taken" Look at that lil nose! "Go Away!" "I'm sooooo cute!" I hope you enjoyed this photo overload! Book Worm:)

Hi readers, for the last few weeks I have been building a new hutch for Bramble and Patches that will be big enough if Maisie ever gets along with them. Front view into the run. Side view into the run. I don't have any photos of the inside of the hutch but i do have a rough estimate of how much it cost! I got a huge roll of mesh as I didn't know how much I would need so there is lots of that left. Altogether it cost about £100 which is cheaper than a hutch of this size would cost if I had got a ready made one. The size of the hutch is: 4ftLx4ftWx4ftH(including legs). The run is:4ftWx150cmLx4ftH. I ran out of wood for a run roof so i found some left over plywood and a random old piece of wood and mesh. Book Worm :)

Hi Readers, 2 weeks ago Maisie had a little accident.......called jumping out of my arms onto a hard floor, cracking both of her front teeth AND biting her lip! I took Maisie to the V-E-T (spelling it just in case guinea pigs are reading this!) and they said to keep an eye on it, but that rodent teeth grow back, so it should be fine. Fast forward to the next day, one of the teeth had fallen out so she had to have water soaked pellets (ugh). The next day the other one fell out too (possibly due to bar biting)=more wet pellets(by now she liked them). Fast forward a week and both of the teeth had started to grow back. By this point I had noticed that one of her front claws had become inflamed but as of the time of this post being typed up it hasn't gone down but I'm keeping an eye on it. Fast forward ANOTHER week both of the front teeth have grown back but Maisie prefers the wet pellets(!) so I give her a choice of wet & dry, as well as dried leaves, muesli and fresh veg
