Visitors who appreciate piggies 😁👏

My mum’s (88 yo) friend came with her to see my garden and have a cuppa. We sat in my kitchen and I apologised for the ‘farm yard’. She thought it was something for the dog! Anyhoo when I said, “No, somewhere in the depths of those tents there are …. Guineapigs!” Her eyes lit up! She had been a missionary for many years in Peru!
“Oh can I see them?”
I proudly and with great delight produce the …… pea flakes!
In my clearest, and highest pitch I call, “Pea flakes? Want a pea flake? Who wants a pea flake?!”
A nose appears. Another appears. A whole head. And then, I’m 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! . ( maybe this should be in the ‘What made you happy today?’ Thread… sorry!)

You could always have a little tin of pea flakes in your handbag with you, wherever you go!

That’s awesome and so wholesome! And ..makes a change! Usually people who visit my house are judgmental about them. Though someone did pop over the other day and she said ‘it was so lovely that I can sit and watch them and that they all looked so happy’ was a refreshing comment

Yes - some people seem to love just watching them. Special little creatures xx

What a lovely story. No wonder you were proud.

I love that story

That's a very nice story!
I never invite anyone into my home who doesn't love animals. There are enough people out there already, who think that I'm guinea pig crazy.

I must be the crazy guinea pig lady to people who know me, I get sent so many video clips of guinea pigs and if anyone I know gets a guinea pig they text me pictures! LOL!
