Meet Boris the guinea pig

Hi readers! I have not got another guinea pig but Boris is a guinea pig I help take care of once a wheek.

Name: Boris

Age: Around 2 years

Breed: Abyssinian mix.

Personality: Shy

Colour: Tortoiseshell and white

Likes: Freshly picked grass and watching the ducks

Dislikes: Being handled and having his claws trimmed

I go to a farm once a wheek and recently they moved Boris from their other site to the site I go to.
He is a Pets At Home adoption centre guinea pig so he is a rescue guinea pig. He is very cute but quite shy and doesn't like to be handled so he needs taming just like I did with Maisie.
Just like Patches he likes to have everything on his terms and will squeal if he doesn't like what you are doing. Like most guinea pigs he likes to eat what he shouldn't (like leaves off the trees!)!
He does live on his own but just like Maisie he is fine with it and he can watch the other animals (ducks, chickens and humans!).
Yesterday I took a bag of Homemade forage (marjoram, lavender, bramble leaves, pear leaves, dried grass, Rosemary, lemon balm, mint, parsley), mix of nuggets, pets at home fibre bites, a new food dish with his name on and some wooden chews.
I also trimmed his Claws and did his mite treatment. Then I gave him his veg (parsley, mint, lettuce, grapes and pepper).

I will post updates on Boris once a month!

I hope you enjoyed meeting Boris!

The best housing for outdoor and indoor guinea pigs and storage for guinea pig supplies/ Old opinion

Hi readers, as I have got another guinea pig I thought a new post on housing and storage was needed. Housing Many people, including me, keep their guinea pigs outdoors in hutches or indoors in small cages, however this is not enough but can be good in the warmer months (rare in the UK) but there are many more ways to house guinea pigs like C and C cages as well as many other types. The hutch facts H utches are normally small with no room for guinea pigs to run around once they've got a food dish and few toys. Some hutches are large and spacious and have a run attached(like mine). You can build hutches and this is a good option as it can be cheaper but can be a lot of hard work. C and C cage facts C & C cages are brilliant indoor options and can be suited to the space in the home or outbuilding. C&C stands for cube grids and coraplast. Cube grids can be expensive but don't really need replacing after you've got them. Coraplast or Correx is corrugated plastic ...
