Spring is approaching

I think the girls can smell spring in the air. It's still a bit early in the year, but it's slowly getting warmer and the sun shines a lot more often into the piggie room. They all seem a lot more active, which in Molly's case is due to dieting no doubt. I noticed that especially the rexes are getting cheekier by the day. They started roaming the house again and destroy whatever they find in their path. Zoe is desparate to make herself a wee hidey hole between their cage and the foster girls' cage and she is biting the plastic like her life depends on it!

I just can't wait until it's warm enough for them to go outside. It will be the first time the baby rexes get to graze on real live grass! I'll make sure the camcorder is fully charged!

At long last an update



The girls are well. Zoe's two baby girls are no longer babies but proper young ladies. And Charlie is well and truly settled in his new home (see below for a picture of Charlie and Raoul).

The quiet life has finally returned to the guinea girls' world and they enjoy their life of luxury.

The two foster girls Fifi and Fluffy are doing fine too. Fifi unfortunately doesn't get on with any of my girls which means that Fluffy is rejected too. They are however bonded to each other and every week you can see how they come out of their shell and get bolder. They now scream for food like the rest and whenever I clean them out they popcorn around the cage.
