Setting up home

We're hoping that our new baby piggies will be able to come to us in a couple of weeks time, so we've been busy preparing their new home for them.

We've got a hutch, lots of newspaper, some dust-free woodshavings (although having done some reading on this, we will try to get some Megazorb to reduce the risk of any dust-related respiratory problems), some timothy grass hay, Gerty Guinea Pig food, a bowl, water bottle, a Chube (cardboard tube to play in!) and some VetBed lovely fleecy soft bedding to make their sleeping area extra snug when the weather is a bit colder. Is there anything else we need?!

The girls have had a trial run of putting it all in, along with two toy guinea pigs and it looked very cosy.

Sophie took some pictures:







Now, all we need are some little friends to bring some life into the hutch!

What's it all about?

In the next couple of weeks, we are going to have two baby guinea pigs come and join our family. This blog is a small diary of their life with us, hopefully with plenty of pictures and regular updates.
