Small AnimalsGuinea pigs, mice, hamsters, gerbils, oh my! What type of small animal do you have? Share your thoughts, ideas, tips and fun facts with others, here!
I bought my DD a guinea pig in oct last year. She named him Ratsy, "cause he looks like a rat", lol. I dont think so, but to an 8yr old...He squeaks and runs when he hears me come in from work, or shopping, or anywhere else I went. I have to grocery shop for him also. I did buy some strawberry plants so I would not have to spend so much on them in the store. He loves his carrots, and gets baby carrot in the morning, afternoon and at bedtime. He also loves his parsley and dandelions, just about everything we feed him. He is our baby. Loves to cuddle on the back of our necks when he is out. I would like to get another one, but no place to put another at the time, and I was "lucky" to talk DH into letting me get DD our Ratsy. He loves him too tho. He likes to "mess" up his toys in his cage and hold him and play with him.
I too have guinea pigs I inherited from my daughter who moved out. One is long haired the other short and they will be three yrs old in Nov. Every time Kathy comes to visit she is claim they have gotten bigger. I feed them the gormea food and GREEN - Gr, Peppers, GR cucumbers, GR beans, GR grapes, watermelon, cantelope. The watermelon they eat from the outside in, the green beans like spaghetti, and grapes and cantelope they have to wash their faces like a cat after. I spoil them rotten so they won;t get bored with three toys I hunted down at Drs Foster & Smith on the internet little cat balls with bell in them, And a editable hollow log (alpha & honey) they love to hide in and peek at me. I spend hours just sitting talking to them and watching.
My daughters school has just got 3 for the class to look after.
They have a large white one and 2 baby ones. The kids love it when it is their turn to fed them.
