No...but it's nice to meet you, Pumpkin! I'm Coconut and I am the older sister to Hazelnut. We are 3 1/2 months old! Right now, my computer isn't working so I can't post pics at the moment...but you can look at my profile pic! I'm the one on the left, Hazelnut is on the right.
 
Have you tried curly endive yet? It's the best (after romaine lettuce, of course)! And we love carrots, apple, kale and fresh grass! Make sure your mummy lets you try some of those delicious veggies!

Aw thanks. That's so nice! We are both American short haired, but we might have a little bit of satin in us. Our daddy is a satin!

Anytime:D Oh, I thought that I was an American Short Haired with some Satin until I found out the white spot on my head means that I am a American White Crested :eek: It says that I am somewhat rare and unique!:D

Wow Guys! Thank you! I just got her from a Lady that wasn't taking very we'll care of her in August.. :( But since I adopted her she is doing MUCH better!:D I didn't realize there was no many Cresteds! It said they are rare :P

If you take your piggy outside I would recommend putting her in a playpen so she can run around and munch on grass, carriers are only really useful for transporting your piggy from one place to another. :)

Awh thank you! :wub:

And I heard that grass can be dangerous for Piggys :soz: Wet grass is the most dangerous because mold grows on it and it can kill your piggy! :(

Grass is not dangerous for piggies as long as it is slowly introduced into their diet. I don't think mould can grow on grass as long as you don't leave it in their cage. As grass is considered fresh food, you shouldn't leave it in their cage anyway because it wilts and gets spoiled. Letting them run around on the lawn is fine because it is straight from the ground, the reason why you shouldn't let them run around on wet grass is because it will make them very cold, as their cute little tummies are so close to the ground!

Also you shouldn't let them eat grass that has been sprayed with pesticides, fertilisers, etc. because it is harmful to them, but that has nothing to do with the grass itself.

Certain weeds are poisonous too, but again, has nothing to do with the actual grass. Here's a list of poisonous food and weeds: http://www.happycavy.com/guinea-pig-dangerous-unsafe-foods/

Safe weeds include sow thistle, plantain, yarrow, clover, dandelion, catsear (looks like a slightly different, furry version of dandelion), shepherd's purse.
