Madea Summer Shots

Say hi to our latest guinea pig foster from Dakin Humane:  Madea.   

We've had her for about a week.  Madea loves the cage - she checked it all out in the first day.  She's great at doing laps in the evening so enthusiastically that the cage shakes.  She's a cutie!

 

Madea ate nothing but carrots the first day she was here.  I offered all sorts of veggies but she wouldn't try any of them.  It even took a day or two to start digging into the hay and pellets.  

A week later and she continues to eat the hay and pellets, but still refuses any kind of veggie other than carrots.  Such stubbornness!

  

She is so good at being handled, which surprised me a little.  She had been abandoned, and as a foster mom I never know what kind of attitude I'll get.  Madea is strong and opinionated but has a gentle personality.  I even managed to clip her nails by myself without a lot of wriggling.  

Dakin asked for updates to post on her adoption listing as well as some photos.  I figured she'd look summery with some flowers.  What do you think?
