Hello forum friends.
Tomorrow we’re going on our holiday to Aunty Karen.
Mummy has said she’s going to weigh us before we go and when we come back.
Moses always loses weight when we go on holiday. He likes staying at home really but I’ll look after him.
We’ll see you when we come home again
Love from Miriam
Moses said I’m not allowed to bring Pino home with me.Have a lovely holiday!
It's very good of you that you look after Moses, Miriam.![]()
And he is absolutely rightMoses said I’m not allowed to bring Pino home with me.
He said there’s only room for one cute boar here![]()


We’ve pooped in it already We had our cage cleaned out today.
We were especially good and allowed mummy to stroke us while we were in the cage.
Then we had to explore and check everything out.
We ate yummy fresh hay and forage and rearranged the furniture
Oh I see, it is a sport! Well, keeps brains and bodies active.However I place the furniture it will be rearranged![]()
It's a shame there's pictures of bears on it though and no guineas! What was your mummy thinking about? She must have got side-tracked. It's lovely though that she put so much hay and forage into it, and that you're so happy and excited.View attachment 289982
We’re very excited about our new paper bag.
It’s huge and there’s lots of hay and forage in it for us.
We were very good when we we had our health checks today.
Mummy said we’re perfect which we already knew![]()
It is a very high quality German Steiff bag.It's a shame there's pictures of bears on it though and no guineas! What was your mummy thinking about? She must have got side-tracked. It's lovely though that she put so much hay and forage into it, and that you're so happy and excited.
There are 2 piggies in the bag already.



That’s excellent. Dare you to send it to themDear Steiff Bear Company
I am writing to you in the capacity of Union Rep and Shop Steward of The Guinea Pig Union.
I thought the Steiff Bear Company meant quality, I was clearly wrong. Your bears may be superior and have been around for over 100 years but the quality of your paper bags is sadly lacking. Two of my Members have sent a complaint to me and I feel it is my duty to report the problem straight to you.
Their Hooman visited your shop in Berlin recently and chose a bear with a growly tummy that had to go in hand luggage and she hoped that she didn't have to explain to Customs why her hand luggage was making strange noises. Anyway that is by the by. The bag it was put in looked good quality but lasted less than a week (only 6 days to be precise) in their C&C Cage which is not long at all!
Let me explain about the importance of paper bags and their longevity. Some guinea pigs (if not all) just love paper bags stuffed with hay. Paper bags are an exciting, important part of guinea pig life. Paper bags are somewhere to go and hide, eat hay, sleep in, wee in, poop in and contemplate the world. Paper bags also need to be altered, we can add extra doors at the sides and at the back, for example and we can even make the front entrance a bit larger. Your paper bags clearly need to be a bit stronger to cope with all the guinea pig wee and poop so that they don't disintegrate after only a few days.
May I suggest that you have your bags Guinea Pig Approved by some of my Members who would be very pleased to give them marks out of ten (your current bags would get a 1 or 2) and give feedback and may be come up with a few ideas that would make them last longer and be of the same quality as your Steiff bears?
You can this put this Quality Mark on them
