Junior Guinea Pig
I have 2 stories that were kinda scary but turned out ok luckily.
The first one starts at like 10PM. One of my boars, Comet, was coughing or sneezing or something for some reason. I took him out of the cage and was petting him, trying to figure out what was causing it. All of a sudden, he became very still, and at the time I didn't know that guinea pigs don't really blink. I started freaking out so I nudged him a bit and he moved. Never found out why he was coughing/sneezing though.
Here's some context for the next story. 2/3 of their cage is fleece, which I just fold to make it the right size for the cage and place it in. Apollo loves going under it. I had a really large piece of fleece, like a yard long on one side. I didn't feel like cutting it so I just folded it and put it in. The next day, when I came home from school. There was a little lump in the fleece. I knew it was Apollo, so I poke him a bit. He doesn't move at all. So I start panicking, trying to lift up the fleece. The thing is, I couldn't find where he had entered. The whole time, I think he suffocated under there. I then realize theres a couple layers of fleece, and maybe he's under a layer. I lift up where it was folded, and there he is, just looking at me. He definitely freaked me out.
Yeah, thats it. Felt like sharing.
