No, VJ. It's all snuggly warm in here and I'm cold. The weather has turned.

BabySnow, many horses and guinea pigs eat the same hay. If you go to a feedstore to buy hay by the bale, you want to look for horse quality hay. But that's where the dietary differences stop.

The majority of petstore treats out there are just junk with a pretty label on it.

It's not bad really. Quite an herbal taste and a very nice aroma. It's especially nice if you get really high quality hay.

I guess if Ly and VJ don't want people in their heads, I'll have to find another head to reside in. Daggum it!

I like this "head" thing...entertaining. Anyway, salt licks are simply unnecessary. Just because I love ice cream doesn't mean its a necessary part of my diet. I can survive just fine (and a little more healthily....) without ice cream. Like salt licks, to much ice cream can create medical issues. Salt/mineral licks should not be used in any situation.

Sorry for the ice cream thing...I'm a little hungry right now.

No you mustn't! It's simply unnecessary and bad for your health! ...Oh well, that smiley doesn't really match the teasing face I wanted.

That's great! The next time I visit my Aunt I'll go to the feed store with her and see what I can find.

Alright, I promise I won't make another pointless post here unless I get a reply about that email I sent.

Okay, as long as the echo doesn't bother you.

You can stay PM. Just don't hide and lurk around all of those empty nooks in my head that Ly finds and jump out at me yelling "BOOGA, BOOGA!" as I rattle around in there too.

That totally freaks me out.
