Research

What is that people don't research before they bring in a pet  into the home?  If you go on Y! answers and a lot of other places.  I see a lot of “I get a guinea pig  what do i do”. There are about 5,990,000 results for guinea pigs alone on Google. Don't believe me? Here's proof.

For the first results are Guinea Pig Cages and Guinea lynx. Which are excellent sites. Every guinea pig owner should have these bookmarked.

 

Please please research before you buy.  Do not buy from pet stores. The majority the animals come from backyard breeders. Pets store don't always sex the animals right. So when you think you have a Harry you might really have  Sally. Also most of the times they are sick  or younger then what they really are. 

 

There are plenty of shelters out there.  Petfinder is a great one to look on. CraigsList is another good one.

Sweet Lola my rainbow pig

Yesterday evening Lola passed away. I'm still shocked by it. It was all of the sudden. No signs at all, just out of the blue. She was acting normal. Lola was three years old and she had been with me for three years and one week.

She went and lay down under the bunk bed, while I was taping the girls running around for their next video for their youtube channel.
After a while that was when I notice she was no longer breathing.

Lola was a bit on the heavier side for a female.Which we were working on lowering her weight. She was doing quite well.

Lola also had pea eye. Which is some time cause by weight or by genetics. It developed by the time she was a year old. And can mean heart problems sometimes. I believe it played a part in her passing.

The others seem to be doing fine. Jazz spent the longest time grooming her when she discovered her. They had been together since i brought home Lola at 8 weeks old.

Videos & Updates

Yesterday i uploaded some videos. Later on today i might work on a few as well, I haven't decided yet. I have a few ideas for a Easter Video Contest.

As for other updates

I got my order of Bluegrass from Kleenmama's. Wow!! It's so green!!! Smells so good i just want to fell asleep in it!! So soft!! The girls love it!! Maybe i will take a picture of it, to compare it to the other hays i have and post it here. I think i will.

Cleaned the cage yesterday. Trying out the cage without the old pet store cage as the hay area. I put a extra piece of fleece right under the hay rack. That way all i have to do is shake out that piece and put another piece if that one get to yucky.

Well thats all for updates for now.
