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 Smile.

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 Grin

Congrats on completing the move guineapiglet. I hate moving with a passion! It's a massive achievement to do it without all nerves shredded.

Yes, the boys did have a lovely adventure in the Borders. Oh, and someone's had a birthday party. Three years old on Monday. Can't believe it!

Hi all thanks for messages. 70 you are a hoot!! - Thankfully it is a guinea rescue called 'Wheek and Squeak' - I am hoping they may want some foster carers. Have decided front garden could accommodate a guinea run. It just needs clearing of all the hideous and overgrown plants in it and a lawn planting. Simples!!

Krtiq I beg again for you to make a calendar of your boys, your pictures are priceless, I loved the cake you had made for him - both of your boys are so photogenic, and he actually looks like he is singing 'Happy Birthday' - he is a real charmer and as Ive said before, I'm sure he has been around before, he's so poised!! The previous one of him by the fountain in earlier photos says it all, he is of very noble stock!!! Hope the Birthday party went well, what is the recipe for the birthday cake?

That cake looks like : Hay Cookies, Cucumber and Parsley.
Will tempt the boars with guinea-cake when it's their birthday.
Though GP1 likes Cornetto cone Shock

guineapiglet I looked on the Wheek and Squeak website- lots of good advice and information, well worth a read.
They do Animal Boarding too.
You could see if they need any help with the Boarding Guineas too

"Noooooo, I haven't seen your two guinea-pigs that you brought in Mr Smith" .....guineapiglet stuffs hands in the overlarge ,bulging, wriggling pocket of the strangely out of place waterproof jacket, specially designed to transport guineas away to her own piggery............Grin

Hee hee, 'fraid it was a "store bought" cake with my own decorations as a cheat. Don't you hate that? :)

Y'do realise now KRITIQ that the gauntlet has been thrown and when it's The 70isa Boars Gotcha Day they will demand cake befitting two hogs


I've got six months to plan though Wink

I has been to Primark today and a bought DD2 a packet of knickers. Not only is she thrilled but so will Naughty Girl once she has come in from the run. Because a small Primark bag is perfect for a guinea pig to go Zorbing in.

Warning Primark bag zorbing is a guinea pig extreme sport. Last time Naughty girl did it she leaned up against the hutch door in her bag, DD2 opened the door and out she plopped still in the bagShock.
