Its been a sad start to 2013 for guinea pigs so I thought we all needed cheering up by sharing our stories of what our furry members of the family have been doing. This thread is open to all buns, ratties, piggies, hammies the more the merrier 
.
I'll start, Naughty Girl did this afew days ago but the girls have been very lazy today.
I had the hutch door open to encourage abit of floor time. My kids are not very tidy and had left a package of biscuits out. What I didn't realise was that they had been knocked off the table. Then I heard a crunching sound coming from behind the armchair. There was Naughty Girl chomping down on a package of digestive. In surprise I said her RL name quite loudly and she went running under the hutch with a please don't be cross with me look on her face. Needless to say biscuits in the bin

What adventure has your Super Furry had today

Aw Current Bun has pretty eyes .
Your piggies look like they are conspiring together 
.
Kritiq - He is an 'otter'. Just been looking it up and had to go and catch poor Current Bun and compare him to the pictures/description. He's sulking now as he was enjoying an afternoon snooze in the sun in the conservatory before I grabbed him
It was sunny in Essex today and the girls got their first go it pick your own grass this year. They mowed a nice little strip and were very judgey about being brought back inside.
This evening I weighed Fatimus. She weighs an impressive 2lb 10oz 
. She doesn't just eat to live, its her hobby too! 
Mothers Day Breakfast:
toast in the toast rack (unbuttered)
Coffee, orange juice, small pot of jam.
Cards, presents.
DD ,DS, DH and two little boys. Aaaaah Perfect.
GP1 didn't wait to be invited for breakfast. He reached over to the tray and hoiked a half slice of toast right out of the rack to tuck in.
Of course GP2 (my little boy) sat there sweetly gormlessly waiting for a crust of toast to be stuck under his nose
I ventured out in my robe to cut them some grass though to show them there was no hard feelings (much)
I still had the joy of cleaning out the hog house and getting their haybed sorted.
They're still in at night, past couple of days they've had their heater on in the Pighouse (after last week being nice it's back to Brrr again)
So your husband doesn't do "Take your daughter to work" Day-
it's "Take the family pets to work"
I want a Doctor who brings guinea-pigs into the surgery.
Fatimus has a new favourite past time. We think she wants to be a parrot . After a cuddle and whatever food I'm are bribing her to sit on my lap, she'll run upto my always left shoulder and has a little chat. She does the same with DD2 .
Also she has at last got over losing Old Boy. The aggression she showed poor Naughty Girl was unbelievable
. Humping for dominance and chasing her away from food. It was so bad I was considering getting a neutered boar to be top pig. Because although OB and the girls didn't share a hutch he was still top pig.
Lastly, I must just tell you this creepy crawlly story, if abit off topic. At the weekend I was helping teen DD move the posters above the long side of her bed. I had just gone downstairs when I heard screams and very ripe language as teens do . On the bed was a huge spider that had fallen from behind a poster, having obviously lived there comfortably for sometime . But on inspection it was rather flat and not moving. When I told DD she must have stood on it and killed it, she went even more hysterical. I laughed so must I could hardly breath. After DD stopped swearing and hyperventilating she went straight on her Twitter account. Aw teens they are such a joy 
.
It was DH having the adventure yesterday-
our Pighouse is missing a bit of the roofing felt (as in missing, can't find it. It's about 5'x2'. I reckon it blew away in the wind but it's gone)
So last night DH and I were fastenening a waterproof tarpaulin to the roof as a makeshift 'repair' until Wednesday when, if it's dry , DH can put on new roofing fely .
Their house looks quite jazzy with a royal blue roof though ...
70 bad luck about the roof. I think we are in for more grotty weather tomorrow and its going to get worse as the week goes on . The saying is if March comes in like a lion, it goes out like a lamb .Running out of time for that old saying to be true.
Make sure the boars don't have a 'Wizard of Oz' moment in this wind. Stamp your paws boys and wheek "there's no place like home, there's no place like home" .
Frettchen I bet the Beavers enjoyed meeting your ferrets, I would. When I was at secondary school a friends younger brother had a stoat but we weren't allowed near it because it bit.
GP2 embraces the thought of miniature ruby slippers (two pairs would be required)
Their house is habitable (still in at night) but like a weird stained glass window effect where the mahoosive tarpaulin covers the windows- and that's with it doubled over
70 how are your pigs coping with the colour change? My boys were very confused yesterday when I moved their cage to a slightly different angle - it caused a lot of frantic running and wheeking

I like to confuse keep the guinea-pigs interested by moving their belongings around.
GP1 does the little rattlesnakey purr thing when he explores.
I know he's saying "What the Jeff has she done with the salad bowl now ?"
