Well what a day it has been! I started typing a message earlier this morning but the computer I am using keeps on crashing, so here goes.

Ive spent most of the day walking the streets with a plastic bag as Susan W suggested. Most people were really nice and said they would keep an eye and ear out for me.

I also visited about 8 pet stores and gave them a description. And every pet store said the same thing. That they have most likely been taken for snake food. They all said they have been getting an increasing number of people coming in buying mice, rats and guinea pigs to feed to their snakes and they said it is very hard to do anything about because they can't prove that that is what the animals are being bought for.

Also the computer I am using is my flat mates and it has been crashing uncontrollably. While I was out today he had the computer reformated and didnt save my stuff to another harddrive so I've lost everything from assignments to pictures of my boys.

On a side note: Jess I had a chat to the lady at the Pet store at Wynnum. She currently has 5 adult pigs, 3 females and 2 males. She has the males and 2 of the females paired up at the moment and the other female is by itself. She is waiting to see if they are pregnant and they certinally look large. The female on its own has overgrown nails. She said that this will be their last pregnancy and then she is going to get babies through a breeder rather then breed herself. I am guessing here but the cage intotal is about the length of a 2 by 4 C&C cage,however it is then split up in to 3 compartments. She said she bathed them last night and if thats the case, then why didnt she trim their nails? I wasnt in the mood to give her a gobfull, I'll leave that to you Jess.

And then to top things off (yes there is more)!! When I got home my other flat mate had a suprise for me, yes another guinea pig and a 4week old one at that. I obviously wasn't looking a getting any more at the present moment but I will keep him as I can give him a loving home. He meant well and good but I wish he had asked me first. The poor little fellow is covered in lice which I have treated him for and he is so so tiny he only weighs 270 grams!

So thats my day.
