Pumpkin Surprise - 24hrs later

Pumpkin Surprise

The girls got an extra special breakfast this morning - 'pumpkin surprise'! As you'll be able to see in the next few photos, it caused quite a stir! I think they had a lot of fun pulling out all the bits and climbing inside of it.






And this last photo was taken about 15mins after I put the pumpkin in the cage. The girls made quick work of all the 'surprise' bits. Pumpkin isn't a favourite vegetable, but I am curious to see how much is left tomorrow morning!



And on a bitter-sweet note - Beeno went home with her new family this evening. I hope that she will be a lot calmer in her new home where she will be the sole recipient of all the attention and cuddles, and won't have to share her space with any other pesky piggies. I still have that sad feeling you get when saying goodbye to an old friend though. She had been with us since she was just a baby and knew no other life. I wish you all the best Beeno, and if your new family are reading this let them know we'd LOVE to see pics of you in your new home, and hear how you're doing from time to time :)

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everybody!

This is our attempt at a Jack o'Lantern... nice and creepy! The pigs got the cut out bits (the seed and mush went straight into my vegie patch), and there was nothing left in just under 10mins. Which is good - because they'll be getting the rest of it over the course of the next week!

Watermelon

We had some watermelon left over for the pigs today. Galaxy was the first to find it, and was quickly followed by the nursing/pregnant mums. And Custard!



It didn't take long before the rest of the gang spotted it though! There's nothing more satisfying than watching guinea pigs eat!

A little video of the girls at breakfast time

Video of Sprout and Sparrow

Thought you guys might like to see a quick video of Sprout and Sparrow having a little supplemental milk. I just love watching piggys eat, but watching babies drink from a spoon is infinitely cuter!




You can also watch them running around with Ginger as the babysitter in this video. Isn't all this new-fangled technology wonderful!
