Got Apples?

Thanks to the drought, the few apples we managed to grow this year were much smaller and more tart than usual. Not that the girls minded. The golf ball sized fruits happened to be just the right size for cavy consumption.

A Dinnertime Squabble

Sights like the one above are not an uncommon occurrence when the lettuce is doled out at dinner.

A piggy tug-of-war

Can you tell where one pig ends and the other begins?

Much to Revy's annoyance, Abby-Roo has a habit of snatching food straight from her mouth, usually mid-chew. This applies to anything that Abby-Roo can sink her little piggy teeth into, including blades of grass, pieces of tomato, slices of cucumber and entire wads of corn husks.

Revy Meets Abby-Roo: A Guinea Pig Socialization Story

When we adopted Revy we had plans to socialize her with our other guinea pigs. None of our other cavies had started out living together either and getting them used to each other had been an admittedly difficult process. Peaches hated Truffle, Truffle despised Peaches, and Poof was hostile to everybody, especially the easygoing Belka. Yet we had managed to bond all four sows into living together peacefully, save for the odd quarrel. How challenging could one more piggy be? As it turned out, more difficult than expected.

Happy New Year!

Whee would like to wish everybody and everypiggy a happy New Year! Hope you all had a lovely time. We piggies stayed up late to ring in the new year. Or at least that was the plan...

Fleece guinea pig sleigh

Wheek, hope everypiggy and their humans had a wonderful and food-filled holiday season! Whee certainly did!
