Hello everyone --- Bert and Ernie here! We are still the new pigs on the block here at Prairie Pigs, but we are trying hard to become indispensable members of the team by being extra helpful to Slave, especially at cage cleaning time.
Here we are, helping to sweep out our cage. Well, it's more of a quality control function really --- we are carefully inspecting the hay that Slave has just swept up. Can you believe it? In this dust pan alone, we found seven strands of hay that we had not even tasted yet. What a waste it would have been to throw those into the compost! We hope this serves to demonstrate the importance of letting your guinea pigs help with cage cleaning decisions.
Well, that's enough work for one day! Here we are engaging in our favourite activity --- girl watching! (Since it's still several hours until afternoon grass snack time, which is when Meabh the Brave gets let out for her floor time, there are no actual girls to watch yet. We are really just sitting on top of our wooden houses and staring intensely at the back door of Meabh's cage, rather than girl watching precisely. But we are absolutely ready to leap into action at any moment that a girl pig might suddenly come into view!)
We hope that everyone out there is safe, healthy and enjoying the summer, and that piggies everywhere are looking for ways to help out!
Bert and Ernie, please excuse our late response, but we love your photos and think you are doing an excellent job cataloging each piece of hay! Nugget and Scottie say they hope you were able to see Meabh the Brave after your day of helping sort things out. Good work!
