Aren't we pigs grumpy today!

I have decided to not feed them any spinach anymore so went shopping for Romaine lettuce which I didn't get. I bought some round lettuce, but they completely ignored it. They ate a little iceberg, but didn't like it much either... So Chloe has given me the evil eye all evening! Oh well, tomorrow's another day, so hopefully I will have happier little pigs then!


Speaking about food, did you know that guinea pigs produce two kinds of poos? One is just the normal stuff you would expect. The other one, called caecotrophes, is rich in various vitamins and is part of their nutrition. They produce around 150 of these a day - so why do they want spinach and Romaine lettuce again?
