Adult Guinea Pig
My mumâs (88 yo) friend came with her to see my garden and have a cuppa. We sat in my kitchen and I apologised for the âfarm yardâ. She thought it was something for the dog! Anyhoo when I said, âNo, somewhere in the depths of those tents there are âŠ. Guineapigs!â Her eyes lit up! She had been a missionary for many years in Peru!
âOh can I see them?â
I proudly and with great delight produce the âŠâŠ pea flakes!
In my clearest, and highest pitch I call, âPea flakes? Want a pea flake? Who wants a pea flake?!â
A nose appears. Another appears. A whole head. And then, Iâm still so proud, they come, legging it towards us and rear up with feet on the bars!
Well mums friend nearly cried and got out her camera! I had to feed them about 6 flakes each while she tried to get a close up!
Highlight of my day!
