I was lucky enough to snag a large sheet of plexiglass on Freecycle.  Woot!  I was imagining all the quilting templates I could make fr...

Mabel had been doing well.  She'd been off all the meds since Labor Day.  Her fur had finally grown back.  She'd gained more weigh...

When we moved, I couldn't run the guinea pig ramp the same way I had in Rehoboth.  It would have terminated in the corner under the c...

Wedgwood had a really, really good October:  eating, comfort, mobility were all great.  She had no problems digesting veggies, there were ...

I took the photos for this post nearly two months ago and just haven't gotten around to writing about it. Any good guinea pig guide wi...

Guinea pigs are hard wired to drive out sick members from the herd.  In the wild that makes a lot of sense, especially if the illness is c...

geckos and flowers I recently bought new fleece for the upper levels of Boadicea and Wedgwood's cage.  As usual, they don't matc...

I walked by the cage the other day and found Boadicea like this - just sitting there, staring off into space.  Made me think of me of Half...

Last year I started feeling guilty that the guinea pigs weren't getting much floor time.  I remember years ago watching Eclair and Ted...

I have written about how badly coordinated the guinea pigs' cage fleece can be.  I've been fleecing the upper decks since 2005;  ...

Eating pepper next to each other Wedgwood has been with us two months and continues to settle in nicely.  I have not done many introduct...

Wedgwood had no problem jumping up to the landing to take the ramp the floor, but couldn't seem to get up to the second level.  I'...

I made the switch to all fleece bedding all the time just over two years ago.  Before that, only the upper portions of the guinea pig cage ...

Poor Cannoli.  She has really taken a shine to the new free-range ramp.  She loves that it's the perfect escape hatch.  If I make a grab...

I'm officially done adding the ramp to the guinea pig cage for free-ranging.  The last step was to cover the whole thing with fleece. ...

The new guinea pig ramp has been a lot of fun.  I open up the cage on most week days around lunch time for the afternoon.  Cannoli and Bo...

Behind-the-cage ramp.  It looks steep!  (but it's not) A little over a week ago I moved Cannoli and Boadicea's free-range ramp t...

Cannoli and Boadicea don't get out for floor time as often as I'd like.  It takes time to set up grids, hiding places, water and f...

I've written lately that Boadicea is becoming bossier.  She often ousts Cannoli from sleeping spots.  I've even seen Boadicea snap h...

A clean cage is an excuse to check out all of the corners of the cage.  Occasionally, it's an all out celebration.  I never know when th...
