Well, Keichi was much improved this morning when the kids came. My daughter Caitlyn took him from the bathroom and set him on her lap while she sat on the daybed and he ate from her hand immediately. Hershey complained mightily so I picked him up and sat down in the chair a few feet away from...

Keichi relaxed enough on my lap in the bathroom today to not "leap" for freedom, but walked off my lap and then instead of freezing in terror, walked back and forth between his hay pile and one of his hiding spots chuffing with nerves. I just sat until he finally decided on a spot to lay down...

:weepy: We had a fire alarm today in the place I am living. It was only a small stove fire in another unit (The alarms are very good) but the firemen had to check every single room. In the process they let poor Keichi out of the bathroom (where he is staying while I build his new 5x2 space near...

I spent the day encouraging Keichi with guinea pig sounds from YouTube. He likes purring the best, and was especially interested when I purred myself. Finally he flopped down in my lap like a little guinea pig rug and fell asleep for awhile. I managed to put him back in without him freaking out...

After a month of being too terrified to make a sound and hiding all day until night falls, Keichi has finally started making noises when he's on my chest and will respond when I wheek at him. He eats his veggies a bit hesitantly but he's game now and as long as I move carefully and talk softly...

I came across Cherimoya in the store a few days ago, and now it has ripened enough that I can eat it. I tried it and it has almost a banana like flavor with a pear texture to it. Not entirely to my liking. It may be ok in oatmeal for me. Has anyone else tried it? The nutritional info is here...

Hello all. A while ago I got a call from a friend that saw that a piggie had been returned to the shelter where it had been adopted from. After about 3 months the child who got it became tired of it and the mother returned it. I had originally gone to get the piggie but missed out on him by...

Well, it's time for my evening "art" (The fans from the project next to me are just completely keeping me awake tonight) I started making a quick sketch of Hershey. Then I thought I'd make a charcoal of him. I'm no brilliant artist, but I kind of like it. It's a bit lifelike. The crane off of...

Whew, I noticed that the fans next to me didn't start until 7:45 tonight. I am counting on the fact that the project may be winding down and I won't have to keep Hershey in the glass tank at night anymore. I've been considering a stand design for about an hour. Has anyone ever built a stand...

Hi there! I'm a mom of 2 older kids and I have one adorable male guinea pig named Hershey. I got him a few days ago and although I have never had guinea pigs before I like him better every time I see him. I've had many other pets from dogs to horses and chickens, even some reptiles and other...
