Junior Guinea Pig
After initial friction between Colby and Lara on introduction, they all spent the night in the neutral zone.
The next day it was time to try them all in the main guinea pig corral.
As the girls had claimed all the houses and left poor Colby stood on his own all night I added more box houses so they had one each, hence the total overcrowding.
At first they all hid in their houses.
Lara: I'm not going out there, there's a man in here!
But again, food won out and they crept out

Lara and Mel (Melody Muppet) trying to eat without leaving the house
Mel in front, Colby to the right and Mo from behind
This was all set up to be a brilliant shot of the three girls until Mel and Mo dived for the spinach just as I was taking it:-)
And finally, all of them sharing a meal together with Mel using her box like a tortoise uses its shell. She never seems to come out into the open long enough for me to get a good shot of her
