This is today's photograph
Trixie is the brown black and white one in the picture
All that solitary feeding starting to pay off
Look at the size of her

Different lettuce leaves and kale and things like that
She's been having solitary feet for the past three weeks nearly
Xx
 
Plus the quality of paid I've been getting for them for the past three months has been really high and as a result of that I think Trixie has really benefited
I've been giving them burgess small animal long stem feeding hay
It's The hay you can see in the picture of them in the cage
It costs the same as the other XL hey but it hasn't been reconstituted into a block
I think that's why they like it so much because it's really natural I get it from Pets At Home
 
You can probably get it from other sources but Pets At Home is the easiest source for me
 
Just done the cage duties for this morning for Trixie and the others with their breakfast lettuce gave them all hay n pellets so I have happy Pickys now
 
I'm going to take advantage of the fact that it's not too cold downstairs so I'm going to give the gang a run today because I really think they could benefit from it
I will let them sleep after breakfast first
 
I managed to get sunny out of the cage this morning without being bitten
What I did was I took all the other guinea pigs out first and put them in the carrier
Then I lifted up the house that she was inside which enabled me to slide my hand underneath a stomach lifter out the space and then support her on top with both hands it was a bit of screaming but she didn't bite me which is the main thing so in the carrier she went
They have been on the plane closure since 7:30 this morning which has enabled me to do a spot clean underneath the nesting spaces which they don't like me doing when they're in the cage
Just went to check on them and they seem to be having fun I also gave them a bowl of lettuce
 
There was a bit of a palaver with getting the pigs back into the cage this evening
I've got all the other guinea pigs out like I did this morning sunny decided to be awkward so I picked up the house she came running out then she went in the tube so I pick that up put her in the carrier inside the tube she came out of it and then stripey decided it be a great idea to try and go back in the tube silly boy
 
Sunny has decided to become little Miss bossy boots and go around winding all the other guinea pigs
Chock does not help the situation because he makes pathetic squeaky noises when ever she goes near him and then she does even more
Naughty girl
 
I think it's really confusing time for sunny right now because I don't think she completely knows what's going on with your body Bleser and she can't talk to tell me that she doesn't feel right so biting unfortunately is the only way she can say mum I don't feel right
 
How long does this hormonal stage go on for? Or does it vary from guinea pig to guinea pig?
 
The gang had their cage cleaned out yesterday and it's piggy laundry day today
And they still have the audacity to try to wake me up at 5 o'clock to feed them
Honestly!
 
The piggies are settling into the new house really well not coping with the move better than I am
 
The atmosphere in this house the actual house itself seems to suit the guinea pigs a lot better than the last post I was in because they seem to be taking on a lot less water here each day there seems to be half a bottle left yours in the last post of a draining it so that's better for them so that will be cool if you can which will equal less kid stench
I have set your plane closure up next to their cage and it's not getting in the way because my house living room is 15 foot long by 9 1/2 foot wide so there's loads of space on here
Sorry my Apple's dictation seems to be very crap today
 
I'm going to give them a little run this afternoon I think because I think it will do them some good to get out I've left them on the Rhône for a couple of days haven't picked them up because the environment has changed so I didn't wanna stress them out but I think today it's time for a little run
I can always put them back in if they start to look stressed
 
The piggies are really enjoying having a much bigger room to living I've noticed a massive difference in the way they behave and the way that interacting they're not fighting half as much it's happiest I've ever seen them to be perfectly honest
Plus I get a lovely welcome when I come in to the living room in the morning after sleeping separately from them
All of them are lined up at the edge of the cage squealing ready for the breakfast
Bless them
 
It is lovely he screamed the place down funny
I am feeding Trixie on her own again because I didn't have the other key to set up and I noticed yesterday she's lost a little bit await
 
Trixie had all of her lettuce this morning and I was 2 1/2 remain lettuce leaves in that ball and she ate the lot and remain lettuce leaves a big!
Clever Trixie Lix
 
I've noticed that the pigs are not gnawing stuff as much as they were in the last house so I think a lot of that was actually stress-related
Poor Little things
 
They had their first run in the plane closure yesterday while I was cleaning the cage and they really enjoyed themselves
They all came out the cage actually with very little difficulty and usually sunny and stripey are the two most difficult pigs to get out
 
I will have to book the gang into the vet to get their claws cut in the next few weeks which is something they're not going to be happy about but it's got to be done

You are probably right Maddy. You were stressed living in your old place and animals pick up on when humans are stressed.
