King For A Wheek

I'm off to Portugal for a week and the boys will be left with my OH.
I'm a little nervous about this as he has never looked after them by himself. I've constantly reminded him to pick up poos twice a day and to change the fleece on the third day and make sure they have loads of fresh hay. When ever I have asked him to feed their veggies for me, the bowls were overflowing!
I have an idea, if I leave a feeding guide menu thing with what and how much veggies to give them would this look like I don't trust him to do a good job?

Oh, everyone worries about leaving their pigs with someone else in charge of them. I think the feeding menu and guide will be very useful, I'm sure he wouldn't take it as a criticism and would understand you want the job done properly!

My mum looked after my pigs when I went away recently and I left her a letter from them detailing absolutely everything (in piggy-speak!) - it ran over 4 pages but she said it was really useful to have everything covered. Maybe you could try something similar?

I hope you have a lovely holiday!

Have a lovely holiday. I am sure the guinea pigs will be fine. The letter from them to your other half sounds like a good idea, it will be a laugh and give him the needed instructions. Good thinking @katanamoon

I know exactly how you feel - I am going away in October and leaving the boys with their dad. Am sure they will have a great time. I will be leaving a detailed day by day break down. I have left them before but only for a couple of days so cleaning out wasn't an issue - MrS is not looking forward to that bit this time!
