Junior Guinea Pig
We have just become guinea owners in the last year.
Our love of small furry animals began in April 2008 with Penfold and Squiggle 2 lovely dwarf hamsters. That summer Rio came into our lives from a friend he was a syrian.
He sadly passed in Jan 2010 and my daughter Leanne was so upset. He was such a calm and tame hamster always there for cuddles.
Meanwhile Squiggle and Penfold continued to live much longer than we expected as I'd heard they only live about 2 years max.
My girls were so good with them as many kids just lose interest after a few months and they continued to get them out every day. What a pair of wee characters they were. Squiggle ended up in the wastepaper bin once! My grandson whos 5 stuck his finger in his mouth squiggle bit down hard, Liam pulled his hand away with squiggle holding on tight. He flew through the air straight to a soft landing of paper. LOL.
Squiggle passed earlier this year at 3 years old and Penfold just the other week 3 years and 4 months old.
Leanne misses them bless her.
All are at peace in our garden.
