The Boys And Girls

I think that helps in this house is the guinea pigs have space away from me at night because I sleep in about another room now whereas in the last house we were all crammed into the same room and I think that was stressing them out because none of us had space to breathe
 
The new girls seem to be settling in really well we have a city and the more adventurous out of the two of them but her eyesight is worse
Correction Abyssinian
Where is Abyssinia anyway
 
Don't know the answer to that one I've had to cheat and googled it.

Ethiopia

The Ethiopian Empire, which was historically known as Abyssinia, a nation that comprised the northern half of present-day Ethiopia.
 
The little Abyssinian feels like she has been interfering with the mains electricity supply her hair sticks out that much it's crazy
 
I think I will do during the quarantining period is take the new additions to my own vet and get them properly sext because I really trust my vet and if it turns out that they are boys then I can get them neutered and then introduced them to the rest but that was going to be going to be very interesting if I have got another two boys because that will mean there will be four boys and two girls
I don't think they are boys school as I can't feel any male organ parts much to the new additions discussed
But I don't want to rely on my own judgement as I could be wrong
The little Abyssinian is completely fearless I've already had to extricate her twice out of the hay bag
She's also try to come out of the cage once already
She also came over to investigate my hands when I was sorting the hay inside the cage
Where as her sister let's call them sisters for no until I hear otherwise it's completely the opposite she is a little scary pig
Her eyes are black so her eyesight will be normal which is why I'm a big scary human but to the Abyssinian I seem to be a very interesting thing to investigate
 
Your Abyssinian sounds like fun! You'll have to watch her as I reckon she'll keep you on your toes! Have they got names yet?
 
I've decided to call the Abyssinian Bella on the donna unless it turns out they are Boris and Donald
 
Just done a spot clean of the adults cage after having to clean the little ones cage yesterday because Bella decided that the water bottle was a good thing to play with and she flooded the entire place funnily enough though the cage is nice and dry this morning so I don't think shall be doing that again
 
Bella keeps squealing like really loudly it's like the food squeal but higher so it's more like a whistle
I think she's calling for the rest of the herd
I'm going to get my carer to have a look underneath to see if there's any gangly bits because it's cage cleaning day on Friday for everybody anyway and if she hasn't stopped screaming by then I am just going to put them all in together because I can't cope with this
Sunny is actually getting quite distressed because she's answering Bella and because Bella is not appearing or son is not appearing to Bella she's also getting really distressed so I've got to quite distressed guinea pigs on my hands I know were too weak quarantine is better but if that's not physically possible what else am I supposed to do
If anybody could suggest anything that would be helpful please feel free
 
Thankfully Bella has stopped squealing so much know that they are on the rubbish Pets At Home food and they've got Timothy hay which is also a bit plain and a bit boring but until they go in with the adults it's not the house because they're refusing to eat anything else other than the alfalfa which I can't give to them constantly because it's really rich and I don't want them getting a stomach upset
 
I have to take my main group to the vet this afternoon to get their claws cut which they aren't going to like very much but has to be done then after I've done that I have to clean the cage out but I will probably do that after I've had a sleep
 
I just hope that one sunny isn't too difficult to catch to put her in the carrier and two stripey doesn't bite of it
Again
 
I'm sure you'll be fine. Just don't tell them they are going to get their nails clipped!
 
They all behaved absolutely fantastic yesterday I think that was because I fed them before I took them to the vets liver quite docile
Main cages all nice and clean this morning and the main group has had a nice run so I think they enjoyed themselves
 
The little ones are trying Wilco dandelion mix for the first time and they seem to really like it
They were making such a fuss when I gave it to the adults that I thought I would try them on it
 
I can't believe how big the little ones are getting already
I have only had them for two weeks on Saturday but they have grown considerably
Must be all the good quality hey and veg
 
I haven't really handled them very much because they were quite scared to begin with but Donna will actually eat out of my hand so this afternoon I had a 10 minute handling session which with each of the little ones and they seem to like it
 
That's good news then and progress too. The little ones don't stay little for very long. The growth rate is amazing.
 
I think I'm going to start intros with everyone this weekend because the little ones are big enough for that now I think
 
I reckon they have put enough weight on to cope with adults playing with them
 
I've got four different types of hay in my house so I was going to put four different haystacks in for them all to explore and eat because eating I have noticed is a major part of the bonding process
Plus if they are all stuff to Phil then we can fight with each other
 
I have got lots of disinfectant spray so the cage will be completely scrapped and also entry says will be removed completely I will probably go through a considerable amount of disinfectant in order to do this but never mind
