Has no chuffin idea. Honestly drives me up the blinkin wall.
Yesterday morning while I was doing the girls and Bumble their veggies. Hes pottering about like he does. When all of a sudden he comes up to me jabbering on about this that and the other and then I get a piece of toast rammed in my face. "Ere give this to the pigs wont do them any harm" I'm like NOOOOO They arnt to have toast especially with Marmite on:x "Na go on it wont do them any harm,its a corner bit"mallethead
Now this went on for a good few minutes of me saying NO THEY ARNT HAVING MARMITE ON TOAST.It wasnt until hubby(the one that pretends to show no interest)pipes up and says DAD LEAVE IT.They arnt to have toast.
So obviously that drove me mad. But then LAST night oh deary me. No thinking logically where the father in law is concernedgrrrr
He pipes up and says. Oh my favourite is the black one(bumble) I think you should mate it with that hairy one of yours(gaga) youd get some lovley looking babies out of them pair. Get rid of the rest and you'll be set up for life, I'm tellin you girl:{grrrr:Ayociexp120::laluot_32:
I turned round and said. None of my guinea pigs will be mated with any other pig. I'm never going to breed, one= Its not good for them to have babies over and over again, 2= I havnt the space and 3= what would I do with them all. I'm not into my girls just so I can see what babies they have. I am into them because I enjoy them, I enjoy looking after them and they are just the sweetest little creatures.
Stop pretending you know what your going on about. I'm no expert, but I know what I want and what I dont want.

Ohhhh dear malletheadmallethead ive been asked by my neighbours if i wanted to use Harvey as a 'stud'....some people!
 
Oh and do guinea pigs eat, wait for it, cocopops! but i never been asked about marmite on toast :))
 
Hahaha! I think sometimes people forget that animals have different diets to us! :)
 
I've heard of people giving horses marmite on toast rolleyes:{ but not pigs. I hate it when people are like that though grrrr
 
Sounds so annoying..

I once had a rabbit and a friend of my dad actually fed him some ham out of his sandwich I went mental saying rabbits don't eat meat he was like "why it won't harm him" and contiuned trying to feed him it so i picked him up and walked off I was so angry it was that or kill him (the man that is :)))
 
Rose likes bread... I let her eat it when she was poorly on the premise that anything was better than nothing. My pigs also enjoy cereal - Rose particularly likes cheerios. I don't think they'd go for marmite, and suspect it's too salty to be good for them.

I tend to work to a no meat or dairy rule, so I would let the girls have a nibble of dry toast, but not as a matter of course - there's a reason I spend a fortune on pellets and veggies!
 
this has made me smile on 2 accounts: my FIL always makes us toat as soon as we get up and by the time we get to eat it, it's stone cold and horrible. We've been telling him for years NOT to do it but he still does.... and my 17 month-old son, give the Guineas anything he can't finish, so I've found rusks, nutella sandwiches and other baby delicacies!
 
And here I was thinking I had the only annoying Father in law. When we first had the piggies and my daughter was a lot younger he always managed to upset her by saying- if you pick a guinea pig up by its tail its eyes would fall out. It took along time for me to convince her that this wouldn't happen, even now though to wind her (and me) up he will try to tell her this.
 
amusingly enought when i had my firt piggie i went for a hol and left my mum to care for him, she had a party.
when i came hoem my piggie had had lager and cheeses smaiches :S he was ok id alil hungover . i had to explaing to mum why my uncle shouldnt have given them that *** he looked hungry.......

I was told this many times as a kid. My reply was always that this is why guinea pigs don't have tails so people can't pick them up by them.

Some people have no clue. I have a fairly guinea friendly family but when I tell new people I have 6 guineas they always ask if I breed them. grrrr Nope, they are all girls.

My dad says that too! I find it funny, but if it upset a child then that's different.
