Guinea Pig Update

Smokey in the hidey-hole

This is where he likes to pretend we don't exist. The first thing Marley does every morning and when she gets home from anywhere is remove this from the "Guinea Pig Condo." I let her do it because she is asleep when they come out in the later evening and run around like mad. As of Monday, he was about 17 1/2 ounces.

Nibbler in the hidey-hole

He hangs out there a lot, too. Although, I think he will end up being the piggy who is the most cuddly. We did find out last night that the sound we thought was chirping, isn't. It is this funny little sound that means they're not happy. Oh well. They'll get used to us! He is the littler of the two and I think, overall, the family favorite. He is named after a character in the cartoon series Futurama. Hail, Lord Nibbler! As of Monday, he was about 11 ounces.

The Guinea Pig Condo
I'd say deluxe condo, but we don't have a second story like some piggy homes do. 'Till then, we just have the basic model. It was cheap and easy to put together. It is three times the length, and half again as wide as the original cage I borrowed. They love it. I think sometimes about putting a top on it because Marley has a hard time keeping her hands off of them. We'll see.
