T&P2005

Thank you so much. It was pretty cheap to make....

Your guinea pigs are so cute and I love your cage

We ended up not getting "Lady Godiva" because I am fairly sure she is pregnant. She was adopted by someone else, so I hope that I was wrong and they don't get stuck with babies they don't want. We got our last piggie (adopted) from PetCo and he turned out to have some major health issues. We're wary of doing that again, because they don't guarantee the piggies' health like they do with the babies they sell.

I'm sorry to hear that Douglas is giving T&P some trouble. Our youngest boy, Nate, is the rowdiest of all. He doesn't submit to the older boys. Maybe Douglas is like Nate! One thing I heard was to give all the boys a bath at the same time. That way they all smell the same right after. It helped for us, but eventually Nate and Chest decided they couldn't live together. Nate and Rebel are roommates now, but they sometimes fluff up and rumblestrutt around. I tell them to knock it off (I'm sure it's Nate instigating it!) Good luck with your boys.

How are things between all the boys? Did T&P accept Douglas? We're possibly going to add another girl. She was "found" in the parking lot at a PetCo, and we were there buying dog shampoo, so the manager showed us--she's so beautiful! She's a long-haired tortoiseshell, mostly black, but with some white and brown. She's really calm and loves to be held. Our Princess is still very skittish and doesn't like to be petted. We're hoping "Lady Godiva" will mellow her out some! Wish me luck in convincing my husband that we need a 5th piggie!

Good to hear from you!
I haven't really had much time to check messages here. I'm currently preparing to move(Lived here since 1969)it's been a bit chaotic around here lately to say the least! I too have not had time to take or post any new pictures.
However, I did manage to buy new fleece. I found an awesome purple and white Tye dye and a deep purple solid. (Walmart-$4.00yd)
I'm currently reconstructing their cage, putting the second floor in the middle of the ground floor so they will have a ramp on each side.
Oliver will sometimes lay at the top of the ramp refusing to allow Levi to go up to the second floor but I have also seen Levi do it back to Oliver. (silly boy's) so, I figured it would be better to just have two ramps so that no matter what they would have a way up and a way down regardless of who is laying in the way!
Again, good to hear from you keep in touch!

Skeet! I like the sound of that. Can't wait to see pics!

Did you come up with a name for your new little boy? I thought it would be cute if you named him "Ike" since Ike is the only other Canadian of promenance on South Park. And he's terribly cute and smart, as well!
But I'm sure whatever he's called, he's going to be a great piggie. I hope T&P like him!

Yeah, the Agouti Boys are a pair now. I'm really happy, and not just because now I don't have to build another enclosure for Rebel Rebel Rebel doesn't use the ramp (he is LAZY!!), so if Nate wants some space, he just goes downstairs. Sometimes they sleep near each other, but there is no cuddling or anything like that. They totally ignore the Princess next door, and Chest Rockwell is living large in his penthouse! I think all my piggies are very happy right now!

We just introduced our two agouti boys (the grey & white, Nate, & our brown agouti, Rebel Rebel). They are currently housing together, so I call them The Agouti Boys Gang. They're sorting out dominance issues, & I'm crossing my fingers that they figure it out. Nate's the smaller one, but he's tougher & braver than any pig I've ever known, so he won't go down without a fight! There's a lot of rumblestrutting going on right now!

I did get the tent at a smaller pet store. I'm not sure if they have anymore. I would be willing to pick it up and send it to you if you really wanted. The tent was $7.50. I can't imagine shipping to be too crazy.
