Im back

For awhile i took a break from blogging. But I'm back and have quite a bit of news. In June i got two more piggies. Who were about four months old. I have set their birthday for April 1st.
.:Coco Chanel and Puff Tart:.

They both had lice. They were both treated and the lice was killed. Coco had it the worst, and she is still very sensitive when you touch her back. Both piggies are growing fast and healthy.

In June/July i got another piggie from my sisters friend. About 7 years old. Shes a very shy and sweet girl.
.:Cinnamon Cupcake:.


Then in September i found a home for Stella and Tink. I felt like i couldn't give everyone the same attention.

Jazzy recently had her 5th birthday, on Nov 16th. We did a little something for her to celebrate her birthday.

I have also added a new video for our Youtube Channel

All four girls are living in a 2 level C&C cage.

Handling & getting to know your guinea pig

A wiggling guinea pig can easily injure itself. Always have one hand underneath them when you pick them up, and never, ever hold them so that their hind legs are dangling. Children should be taught how to properly hold a guinea pig; young children should only hold guinea pigs in their laps while seated (and with an adult nearby). Most people hold their guinea pigs against the chest, with one hand underneath the rump.  A fall can be fatal to a guinea pig!

Returning a guinea pig to her cage requires care. Handle your guinea pig firmly with both hands.
You can leave your new guinea pig alone for the first day so that he can become used to the new sounds and smells.  Pick up and cuddle your new piggy often so he can get to know you  They need to learn to trust you and develop a bond.
