So I have been growing a tray of grass - mainly timothy but also regular grass seeds in there too. It's for Dolly, she can't go outside so I thought when my shed comes (Tomorrow) and is put up and ready (this weekend) she can have a pen in there for very warm days. Then I can put the tray of grass in the pen and it's like bringing the garden to her.

So I have been growing it and it's been going good, it however needed a trim. So I thought who better than Gypsy, Bessie and Mork to give it a trim - they were happy to oblige!

Here's the tray - it's pretty big

Here are some photos of them enjoying it too. I have to say Gypsy is just so gorgeous! I love the photos of her

Gypsy sniffing the air. I think she caught a whiff of the big troop

Hold on for some of Duke and Dolly...
 
Okay first is the photo I have of Duke in his old home, poor lad

Impressive tummy eh?
 
Impressive tray of grass and lovely piggies.

Dolly, your poor tummy looks like its going to pop! Hope she has a safe delivery very soon and can't wait to see mini skinny piggie pictures(that was hard to type rolleyes)
 
AWWW - poor Dolly reall looks like she's swallowed a balloon! I hope for her that it will be soon!

Duke looks really chuffed with his new home and your indoors lawn with the test mowers is impressive!
 
OMG. I have never seen a pregnant guinea pig before. She is HUGE.

Great grass BTW.
 
Wow thats an impressive tray of grass! Are Bessie and Mork related? They look so alike.

Love that last pic of Duke what a little cutie!

And poor Dolly she looks like a balloon! It looks so uncomfortable for her, i wonder how many she has in there? i really hope that the delivery is soon and hassle free!
 
Loving the grass tray! You should've seen the look my Dad gave me when I explained one of my trays was for the rabbits and the other for the guinea pigs! Don't think he'll ever understand! :))

As for Dolly! WOW! Off with a bad ear and throat infection, keep checking for any news! Can't wait to see baby pics! drool
 
WOW! That tray is enormous, and the grass looks fab :)

Poor Dolly, surely not much longer now, she looks like she's fit to burst.
 
Awwh, they look like they're enjoying that grass, what beautiful lawnmowers you have!
Good luck to Dolly, she looks about to pop! Best wishes to her and her mini pigs x
 
Lovely pics, I hope Dolly has her babies soon her tummy is huge. That tray of grass is very impressive.
 
Eleanor she has got much hairier! Its hormonal apparently and will all drop out as her hormones ease up. Funny isn't it?
 
such gorgeous piggies drool
poor little Dolly, she looks so HUGE.
hope she doesn't have too much longer to go
 
Wow great grass growing.

I love the pictures and i cant believe how big Mork is now! x)

Duke looks SO much happier with you. :)

And how BIG is Dolly! That is amazing how big her tummy is. :))
 
oh, my goodness... she looks like a balloon with a piggy head! I hope she gets those babies tonight! Sweet wee girl... I'm so glad she will live a long pregnancy free life with you now!

The grass tray looks massive, I bet they enjoyed it!
 
Wow, that tray is enormous!

And wow, Dolly is enormous!

It will be a happy time when the two (grass and Dolly) finally get to meet. :)

Gorgeous photos of Mork, Bessie and Gypsy too, I love the last pic of Gypsy. x)

I noticed Dolly looking hairier too, she's growing a little jumper! I'm sure someone (Tracy!) will correct me on this, but I'm sure I read somewhere that skinnies are born with some hair, but lose it soon after their birth?

I thought that was Baldwins - they are born with some and ALL of it drops out. They don't have any tufts at all and are very cute looking.
