The Outdoor Bay Cages

A while back hubby and I bought two old agricultural show cages from a nearby property. We paid $150 for the pair and at the time, the agreement was for him to have one to store tools and me to have one for converting into a guinea pig hutch. Luckily for me, he decided that I could have both!

 This handsome little fella is Petrie. He is not 2 weeks old until tomorrow but already he is feeling a little amorous.

The Pine Cone Experiment

 Lets talk chew toys, made from sea-grass or wooden painted shapes, non-toxic of course or if your cavies are like mine, the inside of the hutch archways. What is cute and a small cost when you have three or four cavies is substantially less cute and more expensive when you have a whole caviary full of piggies. 

Photo Updates

I was busy today taking some update photos, so I thought that I would share them. As you can tell, I have named my two additions from last week. Hard to believe they are one week old already!

Minnie and Zavier's Litter Has Arrived

My beautiful pedigree sheltie has given birth today. I was waiting on her pedigree partner to arrive but when he wasn't yet available and the months rolled by, I came to the decision that a pet litter would be the best choice. This litter effectively eliminates the risk of dystocia, which is most common in sows bred and having their first litter after approximately 6 months of age. Dystocia is the inability of the pubic symphisis to open during labour due to a loss of flexibility that can occur at maturity.
