Hi Everyone!!
I'm sure it's going to be great getting to know you all and swapping tips. I thought I would say a little about myself first and then introduce my two boys.
My name is Gemma, I'm a great animal lover, I even have a degree in Animal Science (Behaviour and Welfare), and now i work in The Margret Green Foundation Trust which is an animal rescue and rehoming centre in Dorset UK. (broken link removed) visit the website and you can see some of the lovely animals for rehoming including lots of cavies!!
Now to introduce Frosty and Ash...
This is Frosty: https://www.guineapigcages.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=12378
And this is Ash:
I adopted tham from MGFT where i work, they were just 5 weeks old when they came to us and were given up because they were the only 2 males in the litter. They are brothers. Frosty was the runt of the litter and is about 3/4 the size of Ash, he is also a little bit of a nipper but i'll still love him no matter how much he wants to bite me!! I believe Ash is a marked crested, brindle in colour, and Frosty is a white self or smooth. Ash is a chatty little thing compared to Frosty, and Frosty has the bad habit of always wanting what Ash has... for example if i give them both a nice big dandelion leaf each, then Frosty will drop his and try to steal Ash's!! They are about 4 1/2 months old now. They are amazing at eating the grass and hay, they much prefer it to dry food which I am pleased about, and also love most of the vegetables I give them. They are outdoor cavies, which I know some of you might not agree with, however, I am a very good cavy slave and i have a waterproof and windproof cover for their hutch and when the weather gets cold I also have a snug to keep it nice and warm for them!!
I hope you all enjoyed my not so little introduction!!
