Dinner time

Guinea pigs like to eat... a lot!

The boys are growing well and are happy.
I'll be happy when the weather warms up and they can spend more time in their hutch outside.

Guinea pigs are taking over

We have taken the plunge and acquired some guinea pig pups. Oh my nerves! Cuteness in the flesh!

We have had then for just over a week now, and the little personalities are developing now.

We have Oreo and Chocco (short for Hot Chocolate. Oreo seems to be the more dominant cavy, but they are getting on well.

I have started a garden, just to feed them, but the wait for the lettuce is proving a long one. I have tried a few options... the ones we planted as seeds are only just starting to grow, after about 3 weeks, and the seedlings I bought are growing slowly, then I popped the base of a bought cos lettuce in some water, as many Pinterest posts suggest and it's growing at a rate of knots. I also have a sweet potato slip rooting and I have a tuber in water too, they lover sweet potato greens.

I'll post some updates as we go though :)
