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 has broken another resolution.
Last night after helping me jail break several times, Daddy stuck his fingers through the bars and wiggled them, well it was toooo good an oppurtunity to miss so me bit him heeheehee.
Me has been good with my resolution about weight, for the last 2 weeks me has gained weight, me now weighs 1174g, well done me!!

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.

Mind Control
Daddy thought he was being clever when he set up mii's on the wii for me and Ghost.
He wasnt clever he was under my control heehee
Now when the humans are out me and Ghost can have fun playing all the games.
We like mario karts best.
My mii made Daddy crash when he was racing.
The fun a pig can have.......
We have avoided the wii fit!!!
