My 3rd hay is Burgess Excel Herbage, this is a treat hay and it would be obscene to suggest using this hay as a bedding.
Mummy buys this hay in a 1.5kg bag and it costs her £4.39, well me is worth it.
This hay is a lovely light green in colour and contains dandelion and calendula flowers super yummy.
This hay is medium to long and sharp not soft.
No good for bedding which is just as well as it would never last long enough for me to sleep on.
Me gives this a 10 out 10 rating

Trouble Making Texel
Hey Buddy,
Okay, now finally, as promised, some more information about my breed.
Tumtadadum.. I'm a Texel!!! This means I have a very long curly coat. Mom says I'm very high maintanance. Tuh.. well thank you very much.. *looks really proud*.
Did you know I have some sheep and an island named after me? (no not Igors.. texels) The sheep are very curly and heavy muscled (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(sheep) ) just like me! And the island.. aw well.. it was close to Amsterdam (the city) when I hijacked the VOC ship and I needed a place to hideout from the police. I guess the natives were very impressed with my eating skills when I was mowing their lawns, so I think they named the island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel) and their sheep after me.
Mom likes to keep my hair short because I'm still trying to grow dreadlocks to impress my Mickey (mom just doesn't understand what cool is.. *sigh*). She doesn't comb my hair because I hate that; but she does pick out poo and hay every week or so and when she finds little knots she justs takes a scissor and cuts them out (doesn't happen too often btw.. but i do try). She repeats that until my hair becomes too long and then she cuts it all off.
The difference between Texels and other curly pigs (Rexes, CH and US teddies) is that my hair keeps on growing. The CH Teddies do have longer hair than the Rexes and US teddies, but it doesn't get any longer than a few cm. There is only one other breed that has long curly hair that keeps on growing and those are Lunkarya's. But their hair is better described as wild; instead of corkscrew curly like mine.
Lots of Wheeks!
Agent I

A texel is a Rexoid Sheltie, they can come in any colour the breed standard says that the sweep should be longer than the sides and fall over the butt, they should have a central parting and no matting (bad luck Agent I) a crest or rosette = disqualification.

Easter Bunny's
As we are now fast approaching Easter, me thought it was a good time to remind everyone of the Make Mine Chocolate Campaign.
The aim of the campaign is to stop the impulse buying of rabbits as Easter presents by encouraging people to think twice and get a chocolate bunny instead.
Mummy would much rather have chocolate....
Here is the link to the campaign website in the UK.
http://www.makeminechocolate.co.uk/
PS me has no internet connection at home, problem with damn phone line so if you dont hear from me over the weekend you know why grrrrrr

Happig Saint Patricks Day
Today Wednesday 17th March is Saint Patricks day.
Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and legend says that he ridded the country of all snakes.
Me is going to Ireland........ they still have snakes here in England and me does not want to meet one!!
Nowadays tradition seems to dictate that the humans dress up in green and over indulge on Guiness (yuck me prefers carrot wine everytime)
Do you guys celebrate Saint Patricks day and how do you do it?

The Hay Review Part 2
The 2nd hay me has taste tested is an unbranded variety available from my local pet shop.
This comes in a big bag but me doesnt know the weight, the bag is about 3 foot tall and cost Mummy £4.80.
This hay has the long strands that me prefers and is soft to use as bedding.
The hay is a yellowy brown colour and me is not that keen on the flavour, me thinks me would rate this 3 out of 10.
Me dont think Mummy will buy this one again.
Good for sleeping on....

Wicked Tort and White
Agent Vroom is a tortoiseshell and white piggie this means she has black, red (tort) and white markings.
The breed standards say that a tort and white piggy should have patches of black, white and red that are as square as possible and clean cut (no blurring) the opposing patches on each side of the body should be a different colour. Is this even possible???
Lets meet agent Vroom
What would you like your secret agent name to be? and why? Agent Vroom (cause that's how car goes, get it)
How did you come to be a Munchee? Muncheemom was missing Kozmo, a tortoise with white like me, and bought me at a pet store.
How old are you? About 2 1/2
How many and brothers and sisters do you have? 5 brothers, 3 sisters.
Do all your names start with a K? If yes how come? Jimmee, my roommate doesn't have a K name but shares a name with Muncheemom's brother. Bandito's K name is Karlos el Bandito. Someone suggested we all have K names like the original Munchees, Kack and Kaz.
What is your favourite food? I really love my hay.
What is your favourite toy? Jimmee LOL
what is your favourite pastime? eating
Whats the best thing about being a Munchee? Muncheemom gives us the best hay and pellets she can buy and gives us fresh veggies for breakfast and dinner.
In case none of you worked it out the car is a KIA!! and they live in Tennessee

Guest Number 16
Guest number is another lovely lady, her secret agent name is Vroom.
She lives as part of a mixed herd somewhere in the US, me forgot to ask what state.
All the herd bar one have names beginning with the same letter.
Their group name is that of a type of chocolate, caramel and biscuit square we have here in the UK but the spelling is different.
Her real name is a make of car hence the name Vroom
This is a hard one so put your thinking caps on.

The Hay Review Part 1
As hay should make up 90% of a piggy diet me has decided to review the brands available to me. Hay is also good for bedding so me will give it a bedding rating as well.
Due to the snow, Mummy had been unable to get out to the pet shop to get my hay.
We nearly ran out so she had to order some online from Tesco who were also delivering the human food. (Tesco were brave enough to come out in the snow Mummy not)
Mummy got us a bag of Tesco Value Hay it cost £3.57 for 1.5kg
The hay is yellow in colour and cut into short strands (me prefers long strands me can munch all the way up)
This was soft hay so good for sleeping on, me wasnt as keen on eating it, but it was not that bad about 5 out of 10 rating from me.
Mummy also thinks the price was high for a Value hay.
Better for sleeping than eating!!
Does any other pig have a comment about Tesco Value Hay feel free to add it.

Silly Book
Mummy has found an old guinea pig care book from the seventies, it is very silly.
Because you are not allowed to copy what is says me is quoting, the book is called Pet Library Enjoy Series Enjoy your Guinea Pig.
My favourite quotes are "Cavies do not climb, jump or gnaw on wood"
"The Cavy is not known for its intelligence but for its affection"
Me nearly wet myself me was laughing so hard.
Me thinks these piggies must have been super heroes at undercover work, the poor humans never suspected anything...

Goodbye Dear Alge
It is with a heavy heart that I write to say goodbye to another special human friend Alge.
Me never met Alge me only knew her virtually and yet she still managed to find a place in my heart.
In the short time me knew her (about 2.5 years) Alge has been Mummy to the legendary Jolly Rodents Charlie and Chester who have no doubt greeted her at the rainbow bridge, and the irrepressible Pirate Piggies Captain Jack Sparrow the 2nd and Barnacle Bill sadly left behind.
Alge was a great contributor of funny stories to virtual events, kind words in times of need and good advise when us piggies were under the weather.
Most of all she gave us unconditional friendship.
Me knows we are not alone in missing her presence and so we hope that all Alges friends furry and human will join us in lighting a candle all around the world and wishing Alge well on her final journey.
We would also like to send our love to the family she left behind, whose grief will be so much more than ours.
Goodbye Alge, thank you for the years of memories and friendship you shared with us.

Guests Number 15
This time to confuse you we have a group of guinea pig girls who will be known as Charlies Angels.
They are all rescue piggies living together along with their brothers in New York. (we think this is New York State not the Big Apple)
You cant live in a big apple anyway, silly idea it would get eaten.
Their real names have a festive feel to them.
Me is sure you can guess who they are........

Agent Cannonball Goes Live
Me thought me was a master of mind control getting Daddy to set us up on the Wii, but Cannonball is a true master.
He has convinced his Mummy to give him his own TV station here is the link http://www.ustream.tv/channel/peegies!
He has to share it with his brothers (me knows all about that!!)
Me is so impressed with this that me has added the link to my blogroll at the bottom right hand side of side bar, its called Guinea pigs on Ustream.
Mind you he still needs to do some more mind controlling as me has clicked and found the station (shock horror) offline!!!
Keep working on it Agent Cannonball.

Me Knew He Wasnt A Guinea Pig
Mummy has now decided that Ghost is not an Agouti or an Argente she has now decided he is a Silver Chinchilla.
Me told you he wasnt very piggy like, oh a silver chinchilla is a breed of piggy hmmmm.
Ok here is what me has found out about silver Chinchillas.
They are an Agouti fox, the undercolour is grey and the ticking is white (longer than normal ticking) they should have white eye circles, and a white belly, dark ruby eyes and dark grey ears.
Well that description does match Ghost exactly so maybe Mummy is right this time.
Ghost still has that side patch though, so he is not show quality, so there!!!

The Importance of Eating Hay
Hay should make up about 80% of a guinea pigs diet.
Hay is essential to make our piggy toothies "work", because they are constantly growing our toothies need to be worn down to prevent them over growing, because hay is tough and requires lots of chewing it wears toothies down nicely.
The Guineapigalopaedia recommends that hay should be at least 3 months old to allow for drying yet still slightly green, me has no idea how you tell how old your hay is.
Hay should be dry and free from dust and mould and fresh smelling.
Hay should be stored in a cool dry place off the floor, Mummy keeps ours in the garage.
The indigestible fibres in hay help keep your tummy working properly (Mummy says the human equivalent would be something like All Bran)
The best hays for eating are Timothy hay and Meadow hay.
For young, pregnant, nursing or ill piggies Alfalfa hay can be helpful. This should not be fed to healthy adult piggies due to high calcium and protein content. Small quanties as a supplement should be ok but not as main food.
The best hay for bedding is soft hay as opposed to stalky hay which can poke you.
Green hay has more minerals and Vitamin A and E.
Brown hay has more Vitamin D from being in sun longer but has less good stuff in it.
Check out Galens Garden Hay section for lots of information.
Hay is essential to make our piggy toothies "work", because they are constantly growing our toothies need to be worn down to prevent them over growing, because hay is tough and requires lots of chewing it wears toothies down nicely.
The Guineapigalopaedia recommends that hay should be at least 3 months old to allow for drying yet still slightly green, me has no idea how you tell how old your hay is.

Daring Dalmation
Agent 101 is a Dalmation, although there are breed standards for Dalmation we think they must be quiet rare as they have what is known as the fatal gene.
Dalmations and Roans should never be bred with another Dalmation or Roan as this causes horrible birth defects, this is because the gene for the Dalmation/ Roan coat is recessive.
Dalmations and Roans are genetically the same but the colour markings vary.
Many countries dont recognise Dalmations as a show breed.
Dalmations have white hair with coloured spots, feet and head, although the head has a central white blaze along the nose.
The official colours for a Dalmation are Self, Agouti and Argente.
To breed a Dalmation you need a piggy of your chosen colour and a Dalmation, the litter will always contain one self.
Agent 101 was a surplus boar from a litter, we are sure he much prefers his new home.
Agent 101 is a master of mind control he only needs to think of carrots and his Mummy runs to get them for him
Here he is with his best friend Agent Thorntons

Agent 101 is a boy from a mixed herd in the UK, again he is not a dolly mixture but a "proper" breed.
He joined his new herd as an excess boar from a litter.
Agent 101 takes his name from a famous book written by Dodie Smith.
His real name is also the name of a famous English Chef
Good luck

Our First Good Cause
You may have noticed me has added a new category Charitable Works here we will post about things everyone can do to help poor rescue piggies.
Today we are helping Bobtails Rescue.
By using Easy Search when you search the internet (instead of Yahoo or Google etc) money is donated to Bobtails if you shop online you can also use Easy Fundraising to help raise more money, check it out lots of big companies like Amazon will donate a % of your purchase price to the rescue without it costing you a penny.
Me not sure if this works overseas but definetely does in the UK
If you want your good cause mentioning (rescue open days etc) leave a comment in this section or email me details and me will add it.

Toothie Problems
Like us guinea pigs, humans can also suffer from problems with their toothies.
Mummy is suffering at the moment, luckily for her the toothie problems have not stopped her eating.
Mummy had to go to the dentist (like a vet but for human teeth) she had to have a filling, she is also waiting for hospital appointment to remove her wisdom tooth that is growing side ways under the gum.
As if that wasnt enough, once she has got all that sorted she needs root canal work and a cap for a tooth that has split.
Poor Mummy
Me is glad my toothies are good!!

What Type of Guinea Pig is Your Human
Daddy has decided that he would be a short haired brown piggy with 1 white sock and a playful attention seeking attitude.
Mummy would be a white peruvian with a tendency to bite and dominate.
So what would your human be?

Me hates puters now as well.
The puter forgot who we were again and so we lost all our stuff, luckily we had backed it up.

Windows Vista pah brrrrrrrrrrr not impressed

Cutey Cream
Agent Frothy is a self cream, me thinks she looks like she could be my sister.
Dont let Mummy know she has a thing for us blonde piggies.
The breed standard for a self cream says you should have red eyes, pink ears and pads and be a devon cream colour.
Common problems in getting the cream colour right are that if the top of the hair is the right colour the bottom is often too dark.
If the bottom of the hair is the right colour the top of the hair is too pale.
See its a complicated job being this cute.
Us dolly mixes dont care, so there wheeeek

Silky Sheltie
Here in the UK agent Carrot would be known as a Sheltie while in the US he would be know as a Silkie, confusing huh.
Shelties are a long haired variety of guinea pig, his Mummy cuts his hair (me thinks me would make a better hairdresser!!)
Sheltie hair can be any colour but it must be swept back from the face, the mane sweeps back to join the sweep and there must be no parting, the shoulder hair should fall evenly around the sides and the sweep hair (thats butt hair to you and me) should be longer than the sides and fall over the hind quarters.
The face should have short hair, the hair of a Sheltie is not as dense as that of a peruvian.
The Sheltie breed was originally developed by breeding a peruvian with a self black.
Show Shelties have to keep their hair in wrappers to stop it getting chewed and mucky.
Here is Agent Carrot
Agent Carrot please can you report your story for us.

Agent Carrot is a boy member of a mixed herd in the UK
He joined the herd with his brother when his previous owners marriage broke up
We dont know why he chose the name Agent Carrot, maybe its his favourite food?
His real name is English in orgin and means Noble Ruler and is the same as Agent Dinosaur, no cheating and looking at the archives.
Guess now

2) Me will try not to bite Daddy's fingers, even when he sticks them through the cage and wiggles them.
3) Me will try not to scare Mummy any more and put lots of weight on
What are your resolutions?

Riotious Ridgeback
Agent Dinosaur (has the ridge down her back like dinosaur get it??)
Ridgebacks are a rare breed variety, the breed standard is that they have a smooth short coat with with a ridge of hair standing erect from the base of the neck to the hips. 2 rosettes are allowed to form the ridge.
Here is Agent Dinosaurs story........................
Her story is: she was left at a local feed and seed place here in Moline named Teskes. They had her for over a month before I found out about her. She was living with a bunny there and they had them in a plastic cage on the cement floor. Aubrey's little feet and body was soo cold when we came across her. She was sooo scared! We are guessing she is over a year old. When Andy picked her up he wouldnt put her down! Cause she was soo cold. So we walked up to pay for her.(they wanted $9.99) the boy at the counter said "finally that little boys got a home" Well first of all he was not a he!! she was a she!! poor Aubrey, they didnt even know she was a girl. When we went there to buy crickets for our toad we were not expecting to find little Aubrey... we were riding our two person moped!! so I held her in a little brown box while Andy drove us home. She probaly was scared to death on that moped! She lived by herself at first here at
Misfitville.
Our old gal Anastasia was getting worse.. (she was our paralyzed piggie) and she lived with our little Athena who loved to sit with her front paws on Anastasia's back. They would sit like that for over a hour at a time. It was soo darn tootin cute! So when Anastasia passed we moved Aubrey in with Athena. Anastasia got to know Aubrey well before she passed because the last two weeks of Anastasias life she live in a small kids swiming pool with soft towels under her and we would put different girl piggies in to eat dinner and snacks with Anastasia, and Aubrey would curl up to Anastasia and purr.
After Anastasia passed Little spit fire Athena wouldnt accept any other piggie to live with after Anastasia passed... we prayed that Athena would take a liking to little Aubrey. Well it ended up that it was a match made in heaven! they took to each other and have been best friends ever since!! So that is how little Aubrey came to be here at Misfitville:)
OK we may have given her identity away but we love the story and the piggy code of honour means we wont tell anyone else the secret.

Special Update Whee Have Snow
Well here in my little corner of the UK the snow has fallen overnight and settled, not much at the moment about piggy tummy height but more is on the way.
This is too early for Christmas we suspect it will all be gone by the day.
Ghost has never seen snow before, me has told him it is cold and wet and to be glad he is indoors, it is however very pretty to watch through the window.
Agents please submit weather reports for your region, so any pig wishing to travel knows what to expect.

Hunting Presents
Mummy made the mistake of leaving me unsupervised last night while she emptied the washing machine.
When she came back me had escaped from our play area, before she manage to get me back in the play area me did some present hunting.
Me can report there are no presents behind or under the sofa and chair or in the understairs cupboard.
All me did find was 3 rolls of unopened wrapping paper.... this does not bode well for presents.
Me thinks my present may be hiding in the garage but me cant verify this, special agent piggy that me is, me has been defeated by the mighty lock of yale, besides which its cold out there!!!

Double Dutch
Agent Badger; Interviewed by Agent I;
Since it is our mission to take over the world (our motto; Today the living room, tomorrow the world!), Agent F has started recruiting new special agents. Me and Agent F(an american crested himself) encourage a multi-cultural staff, so pigs from around the world were encouraged to join us. Agents that have joined our herd so far are; Agent A (Agouti), Piggy Galore (Satin), Agent whorlwind (Abby), Agent Patchwork (Tricolor), Agent Big Red (Self Red),
Agent Cannonball (Teddy) , Agent Thornton (Self Chocolate), Agent Thunderbear (Himalayan) and Agent Bumblebee (Harlequin)
Our newest recruit is Agent Badger and Agent F has asked me to check him out because he told agent F that he was a Dutch Pig (since I am from the Netherlands too)
Welcome new special Agent, state your name, age and special powers, please.
Thank you Agent I. I note that previous new agents have not revealed their real names until readers of Agent F's blog have had the chance to guess so I will keep my real name in reserve but I can tell you that I am 4 years old. My special ability is camouflage as I can sneak around in shadows and in the half light.
So, Agent Badger, which part from the Netherlands are you from?
Well, I have to admit that I am not really Dutch but my colour is so named as we resemble the black and white Dutch rabbits.
*shock* Are you telling me you're not from the Netherlands?? Hm.. I guess that is just like Agent F, him being an American crested although he has never set a paw outside the UK.. silly humans. Can you tell me more about the dutch breed (unlike me and the rest of the winky gang, who were just born in the netherlands..)
Pure bred Dutch piggies are white with patches of, most commonly, black or red although other colours are allowed. We have coloured patches around our eyes with a white blaze down to our noses, a broad white band around our middles and our rear end is the same colour as our patches.
Thank you very much for the information, I'm sure you'll make an excellent special agent. Especially with your ability to take on different nationalities. Agent dismissed!
Agent badger is a black and white dutch guinea pig.
The breed standard for dutch guinea pigs says they are hard to breed as the they need round cheek markings as near to whiskers as possible but not touching them, a white wedge shape blazed along the nose tapering to between the ears, no coloured hairs behind the ears.
The body is divided in 2 by saddle markings white at front black at the rear this should be a straight line.
The back feet should have ideally one white stop per foot (white marking) this ends halfway between the toe ends and the heel of the foot.
The ears should be a solid colour.
And humans think its easy being a guinea pig, they must be mad.

Indoor Trees.........
Not here.
Me heard Mummy and Daddy say they wouldnt have one this year as me and Ghost live where the tree normally goes.
Daddy said tree would have to stay in attic (whats an attic and how did tree get there???)
Daddy has made what he is calling a Fugly grotto, as far as me can tell this is just coloured fairy lights round the humans front door strange.............
Mummy has a card tree, its not a real tree, its not even green!!! Its gold and has lots of hoops on it for cards, it must be for my birthday cards coz there is no way the humans will get that many.
Me remembers from last year that the cards are low enough for me to eat the bottom ones heeeheee

Its My Birthday This Month
Me will be 3 years young.
Mummy doesnt know my actual birth date but she knows its towards the end of December so she has chosen 25th December as my official birthday as its easy to remember.
Me can see what she means everywhere you look there are fairy lights, decorated trees and presents, although all the humans keep talking and singing about something called Christmas (that doesnt sound anything like Happy Birthday Agent F)
Me is setting all you agents a special mission, me wants to hear reports (see photos/videos) of any strange behaviour your humans are showing.
Feel free to post in the comments section (it asks for email address but you dont need to fill that in if you dont want to) or if you have a longer article you want me to publish email it to me and me will make it into a blog post for you.
So everybody get spying

Silly Mummy.......
She thought putting down pink rugs would stop me and Ghost from glanding her carpet.
Ghost has overcome this problem instead of trying to roll up the rugs, he know flips the end up and then runs under it.
Then he can put his butt straight on THE CARPET!!!
heeheheheehehe evil laugh
It also helps with the human exercise plan as Mummy has to get off her bum, lift the rug and chase him out again.
Way to go Ghost

Happy Harlequin
Yep as you can see from the pigture Agent Bumblebee looks just like a bumblebee a good example of the harlequin markings.
The breed standards for a harlequin say the the head should be half black half yellow and the body should have equal distribution of black and yellow and black/yellow mixture.
Any white means you cant win (no fair, nothing wrong with yellow and white me says)
Agent Bumblebee joined her herd from a Pet Co shop where her Daddy feel in love with her spitfire attitude, she was smallest pig and yet the bossiest (way to go Bumblebee)
Me thinks she was the inspiration for the giant Bumblebee guinea pig in South Park.

Rainbow Bridge Disney Dog
Sad news report today.
Yesterday Mummy's parents had to help their dalmation dog Disney over the rainbow bridge.
They adopted Disney when he was 1 year old and he has been with them 14 years, me is told that is a very good life span for a large pure bred dog.
Disney was a rubbish guard dog as he loved everybody who ever visited, when he first met Daddy he jumped up put his paws on Daddy's shoulders and looked him in the eyes. (Daddy is 6 foot tall so that is a big dog)
Mummy says he was very silly as Dalmations are bred for stamina not intelligence (they used to run alongside coaches so they are very muscular dogs)
For the past year or so Disney had been suffering with dementia but in the end he developed stomach cancer and it was kinder to let him go to the rainbow bridge.
Goodbye Disney Dog now free of all problems

This Himi is a Her-i
Agent Thunderbear is a Himalayan guinea pig.
She is not show quality as she has a white heart shaped smudge on what should be the dark part of her nose, she passed this onto her children, because of this her breeder found her a new home with the computer nerds.
Breed standards for Himalayans they have a white body with black or chocolate coloured points.
The points are found on the nose (known as the smut) and the feet the ears should also be dark coloured.
Himalayans are born white and then the points develop as they get older.
The points can also fade due to bright lighting and become lighter when warm and darker when cold.
They have ruby eyes.

Stormy Weather
Here in the UK we are being hit with nasty storm, the weather humans say we have winds of up to 85 miles an hour and we have lots of rain.
It has been very noisy over night keeping us piggies awake as the wind howls down the chimney and made the letter box flap (me kept thinking me had surprise visitor)
Me hopes all the other UK piggies and their humans are OK, we have no damage (touchwood, why silly human superstition)
Me also hopes our international friends are not suffering with bad weather conditions.
All agents please provide weather reports for your area, this is important information in case any piggies wish to go travelling.

Tricking Mummy
We made Mummy feel really guilty.......
During the night we dragged the food bowl into our bedroom area underneath the mezzanine floor, we then emptied it on the floor.
To really confuse Mummy we then dragged the empty bowl back to where she had left in.
When she got up in the morning we stood round the bowl looking sad.
She felt so guilty she got us a new bowl of pellets and extra fresh food to make up for it.
When she changed the fleece in the evening she found all the food................
We are in the dog house (which means Daddy got out)
heeheeheehee

Chunky Chocolate
Agent Thornton is a Self Chocolate, his mummy says he looks like a chocolate cake with cherries for eyes, better not let Mummy see him she might eat him. (just kidding)
The breed standard for a Self Chocolate says the colour should be like a good dark chocolate bar and the eyes should be dark ruby.
Show faults include the appearance of lighter creamy hairs especially around the face.

Agent Thorntons is a boy from a mixed herd in the UK
His agent name is a famous chain of shops in the UK (one of mummies favourites)
His mummy says he is a bit porky but would be good at flattening enemy agents by rolling on them. (we wont tell you what he said about her)
Agent Thorntons came from a local shelter and has never told his Mummy about his past (a truly dedicated agent)
His real name is also a variety of confectionary that mummy is very fond of especially the giant version, it is also something humans use to keep their clothes from falling off.
Hope me has confused you enough get guessing

Remember Remember the 5th of November
Why?? Does it have anything to do with guinea pigs?? No!! so forget it.
OK seriously...........
For those of you who might not know here in the UK the humans celebrate something known as Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night on the 5th of November.
Many, many years ago a human called Guy Fawkes plotted to blow up the houses of parliment, the plot was foiled and so every 5th November the humans celebrate.
They light great big bonfires and burn scarecrow like things called Guys, they also let of lots of fireworks.
Fireworks are noisy and make bright lights.
Me is a big brave indoor piggy so fireworks dont scare me, but some of you guys may be scared by fireworks (me knows lots of dogs are and they are way bigger than piggies)
If you are scared make sure your human lets you stay in a place where you feel safe (indoors being cuddled gets my vote) and also where you are sheltered from the worst of the noises and bursts of light.
If you are big and brave like me enjoy the show.

Me Didnt Know
Last night Daddy held something out to me, it looked like a finger but it smelt really nice so me licked it and it tasted nice.
Daddy took it away and then bought it back again for me.
Me got worried Ghost might want it so me grabbed it hard in my teeth and tried to pull it away with me.
Daddy screamed like a girl. (He does that ALOT)
It was his finger!! he had been dipping it in apple juice for me.
Stupid Daddy grrrrrr

Ready Teddy Go!!
Agent Cannonball is a Teddy type of piggy (ahh sounds so cute)
Teddies are considered a rare breed and as such they only have a guide show standard not a full standard.
Teddies are similar to Rexes although their hair is straight, shorter and plusher than a Rex.
There are 2 types of Teddies the US teddy and the Swiss or Ch Teddy, can anyone tell me the difference as me dont know.
Over to Agent Cannonball............
Me is Agent Cannonball and me is a black Teddy piggy! We Teddies look Rex piggies so you have look carefully to tell between a Rex piggy agent and a Teddy piggy agent. We both have short, dense coats that make us look very fuzzy and very handsome. Rex agents have crinkly whiskers while we Teddies have longer and straighter whiskers. Teddies have longer tummy fur and have soft fur all over, like a teddy bear!
Me was the last piggy at a pet shop. Me was trying to make myself look small in a corner when The Big Hand picked me up and put me with two strange piggies for a little bit. They sniffed me and that was okay but then the fat golden one tried to sit on me! A few months later I am bigger and I shake my big rump at golden piggy. There is another piggy with crazy hair that is my best friend forever. He has black and white whorls all over and likes to move the pigloo bases around for our stealth operations. If I am taken away from my piggy friend I squeak so loud my ears flap and The Big Hand brings me my friend!
Me is very good at hiding in my carrot cube. When I hear something happen - door shut, fridge opens - I burst out of my cube squeaking at full speed into a pigloo base! Then me remains perfectly silent so nobody knows where me is. Me lets the humans know I am on full alert and watching them at all times!

Guest Number 6
Is a mere youngster at 6 months old (even younger than Ghost)
He has chosen the name Agent Cannonball me thinks this is because if he curled up that is what he would look like.
Agent Cannonball lives with his 2 older brothers in Michigan in the USA
His favourite food is Loftys
Despite claiming not to be famous, he has recently appeared on You Tube and in a photo shoot for Halloween as a Pirate Piggy
Your final clue is that his real name means Blessed in Latin
Can you guess who he is??

Butt Bath
Me is sure there are other boys who can relate to this sad tale.
Us boys have a spot at the base of our spines where a tail would start that is called a grease gland.
This spot can get mucky and cause your butt hair to matt, also when it is mucky it makes a good environment for parasites such as mites (yuck)
To stop this happening us boys need regular butt baths.
Sunday was butt bath day...........
Ghost is a wuss and panics when he gets wet so Mummy and Daddy literally put him in a bowl of water on the floor and just bathed his butt.
Me is a big brave boy who enjoys a bath so me went in the kitchen sink.
Daddy lathered me up nicely with shampoo and then set about cleaning my butt.
Sadly he got carried away removing the matted hair and me now has a little bald patch on my butt!!!!
Stupid things these humans

Radiant Red
Or should that be radioactive.........he sure is bright
The breed standard for Self Reds says they should be a mahogany red with dark red/brown ears and dark feet and eyes.
Lets meet Agent Big Red
Hello Agent F.
I am very honoured to be included in this privileged group of secret agents.
I have thought long and hard about a secret name and I decided that Agent Orange was good but our Slave tells me that it is the name of something not very nice so I would like to be called Agent Big Red instead.
I am a Self Red piggy and came from a breeder of self reds, so, unlike most of the Piggyfriends I am not a dolly mixture. I should have been either a stud or show pig but I have an eye condition called entropion, which causes me no trouble but meant that I was unsuitable for either vocation so my breeder had me neutered and asked her Rodentologist if she could find me a new home.
Our Slave goes to the same Rodentologist so I came to live here at Piggyfriends.
Our Slave does not approve of neutering and I wasn't very keen on it myself, but it does mean that I can live with a group of lady Piggyfriends called Hope, Peony and Petunia, which is very nice, even though they try to grab all the veggies first. That hasn't stopped me growing to a sizeable three and a half pounds.
Agent Big Red ( aka Garnet ).

Guest number 5 has chosen the name Agent Big Red
Big Red is a boy from a mixed herd in the UK
He is the first of our super selfs, can you guess what colour he is?
His real name is a precious stone that also relates to his colour.
Big Red weighs in at 3.5 pounds (that would explain the big part of his name)
Unlike most of my friends Big Red is not a dolly mixture he is the real thing!!! WOW
So start guessing

He is the first of our super selfs, can you guess what colour he is?
His real name is a precious stone that also relates to his colour.
Big Red weighs in at 3.5 pounds (that would explain the big part of his name)
Unlike most of my friends Big Red is not a dolly mixture he is the real thing!!! WOW
So start guessing

Super Self's
In the guinea pig world what a self means is that the piggy's hair is all one colour only.
There are only breed standards in place for a limited number of colours as well as hair colour the standards specify what colour ears and pads should be for the hair colour.
Me has friends in a variety of single colours, and you will meet them soon.
Where standards exist me will provide them, otherwise sit back and enjoy the guinea pig rainbow.
Coming soon...........

Me Has A New Favourite Word
FUGACIOUS it means elusive, ephemeral and fleeting.
Me thinks it brill coz it starts the same way as my real name.
It will make me sound mysterious, and we all know the girls love a mystery man.

Me Can See You
Me was having my afternoon nap, me curled up on left side of cage and Ghost was curled up on the right.
Me sleep with eye half open and me saw Ghost yawn, that was ok but he also shuffled slightly towards me.
A few minutes later he stretched, again he shuffled towards me.
Well me let this go on until his nose was about 2 inches from my nose, then me gave him a glare and backed all the way away from him into the corner.
Dont try and fool a sleeping agent!!

Terrific Tricolour
[caption id="attachment_390" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Agent Patchwork "]
[/caption]
Agent Patchwork is a tricolour of very unusual colours.
Tricolour literally means that a piggy has 3 colours of hair, we cant find a breed standard for tricolours apart from the tort and white.
Patchwork is lilac, white and tan (ginger) she has red eyes and we and her human Mummy have never seen anything like her before.
Patchwork is definetely one of a kind.

Guest Number 4
Agent Patchwork (you will know why when you see the photos)
Patchwork is a girl piggy in an all girl herd in the UK.
She joined the herd when her previous owner could no longer give her the time she deserved.
Her real name is an alcoholic drink usually served with salt and lime/lemon.
Not many clues to work with this time.............

Treatment of E Cuniculi
E Cuniculi is at present incurable, me hopes sometime in the future some clever person will find a cure but for the moment it can only be treated and managed as an on going problem. There is still lots of development ongoing.
Regular treatment with Ivermectin and Ivomec or Panacur appear to prevent an infestation taking hold. Ivermectin is for treating external parasites like mites while Ivomec and Panacur are worming treatments for internal parasites.
Make sure you get enough Vitamin C and water in your diet as these are essential for overall good health and its believed they can prevent infection taking hold.
When an infestation has taken hold this should be treated with antiparasitic drugs from the Benzimidazole range.Most commonly used are Albendazole, Oxibendazole and Fenbendazole (Panacur)
They antibiotic Baytril should be given in addition to the antiparsitic drug this helps fights any other infection that may be present and improves the general immune system.
To treat pain and inflammation Metacam can be given.
This is only a basic outline and me wishes to thank all the humans out there who have provided links to relevant websites, and most importantly of all, thanks to those who have taken the time to include the information on their websites.
As with any illness make sure your human seeks advise from a qualified vet as soon as possible and make sure your human goes armed with their own suggestions of what to look at.
Me doesnt know if it was E Cuniculi that made Hershey ill but me does know that her Mummy and Daddy did everything they could for her and that they will miss her terribly.
Me also knows there will always be a little piece of my heart which says Hershey in memory of my sweet shy sword wielding friend.
Goodbye Hershey may your story help others.

Symptons of E Cuniculi
My tribute to Hershey continues with what symptons should give you a warning that E Cuniculi may be a problem, especially if you as a guinea pig live near a rabbit.
Kidney problems such as frequent urination and increased thirst
Paralysis, a weakness in the limbs and inability to move
Head tilt or wry neck
Eye inflammation, cataracts, weeping eyes and eye rolling
Loss of appetite followed by weight loss, which in turn can cause problems in the gut such as stasis
Neurological damage leading to convulsions and loss of balance.
Behavioural changes such as wanting to be completely alone, probably hiding in a corner.
While these are all symptoms of E Cuniculi infection they can also be caused by other problems, so do not immediately assume that the problem is E Cuniculi although keep it is mind for a vet to check as its rare in guinea pigs and could be over looked.
A blood test known as a titer will be needed for an accurate diagnosis.

What is E Cuniculi
A Tribute to Hershey
Me had never heard of E Cuniculi until it was suggested as a possible cause of what was making my friend Hershey ill and eventually lead to her crossing the rainbow bridge.
With her human family at first Hershey was shy earning her the nickname Hershey the Meek, with her guinea pig friends on our virtual pirate adventure she was a CHEEKY MISS instigating the great bum pinching scandal.
When she got ill Hershey showed her Mummy and Daddy she loved in the best way she could by over coming her shyness and accepting and demanding attention even play fighting with Daddy over the syringe, the best gift of memorys she could have left with them.

So what is E Cuniculi?
E Cuniculi is a protozoan parasite largely found in rabbits.
It is a Zoonose which means it can pass between different species eg from rabbbit to guinea pig.
The spores are eaten from infected hay where they can survive for months.
Once inside they travel round the body before leaving in the urine which in turn leaves spores on whatever is peed on to be eaten again.
Like mites in guinea pigs in rabbits it is believed to lie dormant until other factors such as stress, dehydration or a different infection allow it to take hold.
Even though a rabbit may have no symptoms they can be a carrier.

He Made It
Me knew me should have made the target higher but a promise is a promise.
Spooky is now 1kg and me must allow him to become a secret agent.
Me had trouble with him choosing a name, first he wanted to be called Spooks like the TV program, me said thats not very secret is it.
Then he wanted to be called Phantom, til me told him there was a cartoon with a human man in a skin tight purple jump suit called Phantom and that was not a good look.
We have finally agreed on Ghost so from now on Spooky is secret agent Ghost.
Me thinks me may regret this...........

Blonde Moment
Spooky had been annoying me so me backed him into a corner and humped him to show him who was boss.
What me didnt notice was that Spooky had run out of the corner and me was really humping a roll of hay (blush).
For some reason Mummy found this highly amusing.

Awesome Abby's
Whorlwind is an awesome Abby also known as Abyssinian guinea pig.
As you can see from the gorgeous photo Abbys have very unusual hair. Abbys are a variety of short haired piggy.
The name Whorlwind comes from the fact that Abbys have Whorls or Rosettes all over their bodies.
Breed standard for Abby's require 10 Rosettes in specific areas, 1 on each shoulder, 4 down the back, 1 on each hip and 2 on the rump. Where the rosettes meet should also make a straight line.
But what do we care about breed standards? WE DONT!!
Is that me hiding in the background? NOPE its a lookalike wheeeeeeeeeeeeek

Why Does He Do It??
For no reason at all Spooky will suddenly stop what he is doing look at the ceiling and wheeeeeeeek really loudly.
His ears move back and forward in time to him wheeking his lungs out.
This is not because me is mugging him of food, or because the fridge door has been opened or a bag rustled.
Me dont know why he does it, its so random!!

Why are His Ears so Hairy
OK me knows one of my ears is bald due to fungal infection, but even my good ear is nowhere near as hairy as Spooky's.
He appears to be growing a small dense forest of hair on his inside ear flap.
Is this yet more evidence that he is not really a piggy?
Or should my ears be hairer?
Nah me is perfect
