The Boys And Girls

I have done a spot clean of the cage this morning and that seems to have helped get rid of some of the problems that were causing me to sneeze constantly
The pigs are spending some time in their play enclosure because I think that benefits or mental health if they have a change of environment
I've noticed after they have spent a period of time in there they are a lot calmer overall
 
That's good to know @Maddy. I need to give the hutch a good clean out on Thursday. I have spot cleaned today. Thursday is total clean day. Love that job! (not!)
 
I have four of them so I've only got one lesson you
How can something so small produced so much waste that's what I wanna know
 
Also the other question you need to ask is ...... How can something so small eat so much and not be huge?
 
To do the guinea pigs are having some chamomile hey is a change from normal hay
 
Not tried anything chamomile on my lot yet. Just cleaned them out. This time I made Tom help as he is on Summer Holidays. They will have some lovely super fresh honey smelling hay to go back to tonight!
 
There were lots of excited wheaks and squeaks when they went back in the hutch last night. This morning a considerable amount of hay had mysteriously disappeared!
 
It's cage cleaning day tomorrow and then later on in August I will have to book them in to get their claws cut again
Which they won't be happy about but there we are
 
Cleaned out the guinea pigs cage today so they had some playtime which they were really happy about they've been crashed out in there since I put them back in about 4 o'clock
They love their playing closure
 
The pigs had a good run in a plane closure today as well as having a good session out yesterday I have just put them back home and they seem quite happy
☺️☺️☺️
 
Well that's good Maddy! My 5 are out on the patio at the mo as the grass is too wet for 20 little feet! This morning I had to sort the bottom of the hutch out again! The hutch has a run underneath that goes straight onto the ground and although it was lined with lots of newspaper and loads of hay, after all the rain we had yesterday it was completely saturated. So another clean out time. Hopefully I won't have to do this again as I am putting a false floor under the hutch in a day or so which is an external ply and floor insulation sarnie which is larger than the hutch so it'll keep the damp out. While the hutch is away from the fence, I'm going to put pet friendly wood preserver on the back of it too.
 
I know. I have to have it all done by Friday as I am going on a 9 night cruise on Saturday so you won't be hearing from me for a while after Friday.
 
Enjoy your holiday
I have got picky laundry to do today they are running out of towels for the plane closure so I'm going to have to put the existing one through the wash
Lucky they don't take too long to dry this time of year
 
Thanks I'm hoping to have a lovely time!

I am going to wash hideys and snuggle sacks and pee pads tomorrow then they are staying out of hutch until I get back from my hols.

You are right the don't take very long to dry at the mo.
 
Was putting fresh hay in and Sunny tryed to help by trying to get inside the hay bag
Silly girl
 
That's funny Maddy! Well at least you know she likes her hay! Mine are happy out of the hutch today and in the run on the patio. It was far too wet to get them out yesterday. They didn't even have cuddles yesterday as it was still chucking it down at cuddle time. I did feel bad that they missed out on their cuddles, but I thought they wouldn't want to get wet either. They'll just have to have more cuddles today and tomorrow then won't they? Especially as they won't be getting any after that for 9 days as I'm on holibobs and have friends popping in twice a day to feed them and check on them.
 
Yes I appreciate that she likes her hey climbing inside the Haybale was not helpful
What a silly pic I've got
 
I've been shopping for the pigs again
There is two cardboard tubes in the order
Two bags of dandelion mix and two bags of clover and plantain
One large bowl with flakes
6 kg of Burgess XL longstem feeding hey
A bag of pellets
Who stuff Willow bells
 
I have to get the more of the long stand pay as they are refusing to eat any other hey
 
They drive me nuts sometimes with the fussyness but I love them anyway
 
The pigs are in a good mood this morning which is unusual for stripey I have to say
Usually teeth clicks at me when I do anything inside the cage but today there was nothing
Maybe it's just his age
