I had 2 rats called Harriet and Matilda. But Matilda died about 2 months ago so we only have harriet now....she's a right bruiser!

Morning all, thanks for the suggestions, still haven't decided, I might let ds have ago later when he gets home :rolleyes: I'm off to mums in a minute to deliver dads present then I'm picking the hutch up at 10
I might even attempt to look at my list again later today as it has been totally neglected so far this weekend I'm hoping today will be a cheaper day than yesterday too

Hi benben

Congrats on the new family members, we are getting two when we came back from our holidays and i can't wait:D

i think i have only posted once on your diary, but read it avidly, i think you are doing an amazing job,:D

you have inspired me to be more organized and i have even done a list or two;) , now i'm not saying i have crossed many thing off but one step at a time;)

benbenandme

Right, cage is collected and set up and they're both hiding away in their little bed thing :rolleyes: I'm hoping they come out to play soon as they have hidden away ever since I got them home

Fathers day pressie has been delivered, so thats another bit crossed off the list and I must get some tidying up done before ds comes home as my Mum is popping in later to see the two new arrivals and I will get a lecture if she sees the place looking like this :rolleyes:

Aw - love scruffy type guinea pigs - had one when I was a kid. Then later after I had left home my parents ended up with a feral colony in their garden! Apparently a family down the road had just let a pair loose when they moved :eek: and they moved in under my parent's compost bin and started breeding! The babies are really cute - tiny tiny fully formed versions of their parents - and within a few months there were dozens running about the place. Mother used to chuck them some veggie scraps but otherwise they just left them to their own devices - and they did really well. Am sure the local cats kept the numbers down but there were around 10-15 in the colony most of the time. When my parents moved they passed the care of them onto the young son of the couple moving in - who was very enthusiastic about the prospect. Who knows - their descendents may still be there now.

Your DS will love them - what fun! (I like Scruff and Fudge too!)

Hi Benbenandme
good to hear you got your guinea pigs just wondering where you will be keeping them are they going in ds's bedroom or hallway ?

benbenandme

Looks like they'll be living in the lounge They were going to be in my room but they would be in direct sunlight so thats no good for them, so they're in the lounge now and its great as we can see what they're up to all the time

Guinea update: Finally they're out and about in their cage :j :j and they keep squeaking too which is dead cute Names now have been narrowed down and the favourites at the moment are either:

• Fudge and Scruffy
• Poppy and Daisy

Think Poppy and Daisy are more likely to win
