I don't quite know how she managed it, but she did. Twinkle climbed into the grass bowl tonight!!!
I sat down on my sun lounger and was holding the bowl over the floor so the Guinea Girls could eat out of it. Next thing I know, Twinkle was sitting in it while the others were trying to eat whatever grass she wasn't sitting on. Of course Molly didn't come out but was screaming her head of to get some grass. Yesterday when I was feeding them corn on the cob she came out of the cage for a short while. Twinkle was sitting next to me the whole time - how brave is she?
After relocating from London to sunny Fife in Scotland, we bought two guinea pigs. Little did we know that 5 years later, we would have 14 Gorgeous Guinea Girls, many of which are rescue pigs. We turned our dining room into a guinea pig room and it has become the heart of the house. We love our Guinea Girls very much and feel our lives have been tremendously enriched by them!

Greedy Guinea Girls

The Guinea Girls are still enjoying their new cage. And what a difference it makes to their lifes. They are all braver and more confident. There's also a new tradition: Chaz feeds them a corn on the cob every night. He doesn't even get the chance to lie properly down on the blanket outside their cage before Maya and Chloe run out and rip the leaves out of his hands. Maya will sit quite happily next to him, while Chloe generally snatches a leaf and runs back into the cage where either Twinkle or Molly will steal it of her. Keleigh is quite brave too. She comes out of the cage as well and gets her leaves but not quite as daring as Chloe and Maya yet. Molly is just pathetic. She sits inside the cage and bites the linoleum in frustration of not getting any leaves. Once or twice she ventured a few steps out of the cage but generally Chaz will have to give in and give her her share inside the cage. Twinkle hasn't come out of the cage either yet to collect her leaves. She is not as desperate as Molly tough. Funny enough, when I cut grass and sit on the sun lounger with the grass bowl in my hands, she will come out of the cage quite happily. So there is still hope.
Here a picture of Maya lying in her home made cup bed while Keleigh is relaxing in the bunk bed.
