G Force........
This movie is not out here in the UK yet but we have seen trailers (the cartoon guinea pigs are nowhere near as good as the real thing)
The trailers show guinea pigs travelling around in large plastic balls and while this is fine for cartoon guinea pigs we dont want the humans to get confused and think this is ok for real guinea pigs.
Unlike Hamsters, Guinea Pig spines are not flexible enough for us to be able to run in a ball, putting us in a ball can cause spinal damage.
Humans dont get confused NO BALLS for guinea pigs!!!

Guinea Pig Prison
The humans have cleverly stopped this idea using brightly coloured bars, they section of the end of the living room with no wires to chew (that includes my favourite headphone wires) allowing me access to only one end of the sofa (this only needs one human to watch)
Its a proper guinea pig prison (damn them) grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
But dont worry I do intend to find a way out, Spooky you do something silly while I go around and push all the bars........................

Me Has Eaten The Bag Handle
Last night daddy left its special bag on the floor, so I chewed through one of the handles.
Well what did he expect I am a guinea pig!!
Friday, July 17, 2009
Mummy was Right............
She said Spooky would grow up to be as big as me and then he would start humping me.
He is nowhere near as big as me and he is trying to hump me!!!!!

Boars Behaving Badly??
Do your humans watch over you and panic over every small disagreement you may have with your cage mates?? If so this brief guide may help to reassure and let them know when it really is time to panic.
Ear Pulling- this is a form of grooming, normally it doesnt hurt the pig being groomed but accidents can occur, if the groomed guinea pig is ending up with bleeding, sore or ragged ears then you need to stop the grooming. (humans may need to seperate you and your friend) If there is no bleeding then humans should leave you alone to get on with it.
Rumble strutting- this is how us boars show each other who is dominant, there is no aggression shown with this action just a slow wiggling of the hips and bum sometimes accompanied by a rumbling noise. No need for humans to panic.
Humping- another way of showing dominance, be warned we can hump from any direction (heehee) again no aggression, no biting just a quick hump and off again, no need to panic.
Bum sniffing- boars love sniffing bums and following each other around nose to bum, again nothing to worry about but if guinea pig being sniffed starts to get fed up it could be worth removing sniffer to give him a break (me too old to keep running all the time)
Head Butts- we do this when we are fed up with whatever the other guinea pig is doing, we normally butt the backside but we can butt anywhere, no teeth are used and the guinea pig butted is not hurt, its a warning for them to stop what they are doing and behave. No panic.
Neck Rubbing-we have scent glands in our necks and like to make the other guinea pigs smell like us, so we rub our necks over their heads, no need to panic.
Nips- not bites teeth are used but skin is not broken as long as this is not accompanied by teeth chattering, things should be fine, keep an eye in case of esculation.
Teeth Chattering- this is warning sign that fight could be about to kick off, humans should keep a close eye on this in case somepig ends up getting hurt.
Showing Teeth-big yawns designed to show how big and strong your teeth are (not to be confused with yawning when tired) this again is an aggressive move and could indicate a fight is about to begin.
Biting/Fighting-this is a very bad sign especially if blood is drawn, this really means that we cant be friends anymore and need to live seperately, humans should break this up by throwing towel over the biters before somepig is seriously hurt.
The general belief is that we do this during our hormonal stage which can be from 3-18 months (thats a long time) if we both make it together passed the 18 month mark, we should be happy living together forever. (Mummy has fingers crossed for the next 2 years heeeheee)
Here is a website dedicated to us boars http://www.susieandpigs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/home.htm
I am sure there are lots of things I have forgotten to mention, so feel free to add your comments.

Me is a Hair Dresser
At first I started to eat it coz Mummy had managed to get syringe food in his hair, so Mummy and Daddy gave him a wash (Spooky is a big wimp he dont like bath time)
When he came back clean I decided I wanted to make him into a punk so I have kept on trimming his hair. Spooky dont mind its the humans that have a problem with this.
Mummy has been looking on the internet for advise about barbering and even the late great Peter Gurney cant explain why we do it.
The suggestions vary from it being a sign of dominance, boredom ,stress, genetic or not enough hay, me I just want Spooky to be a punk.
If I was eating my own hair this could be a sign of mites and should be checked out.
The advice to humans is leave us guinea pigs alone we will sort it out, if Spooky dont like having his hair cut he will tell me and eating all the hair is no problem for me I poop it out again.
Mummy says if I make Spooky bald she will have to seperate us, I am just making him a punk mummy OK.
Mummy is calling me Sweeney Todd (heeheee the demon barber I like that)
Are any of you hairdressers??
Spooky update;
Weight = +25g = 413g
Eaten= hay, dried pellets and banana
Poops = nearly normal

Me is a Role Model
I went back in the cage with Spooky and I think we should change his name to pritt stick as he has been glued to my bum ever since.
Thats when he is not trying to steal the piece of hay that I am in the middle of eating.
He has followed me about all over the cage munching away (dont know why the humans are worried about him not eating) I mean I am hardly getting a look in and when I do chose a piece of hay thats the piece he wants to eat!!
Spooky has gained 16g overnight and his weight is now 388g hurray a step in the right direction.
He had another tiny piece of carrot (wheres mine hmmmpppffftt, oh yes I had to go back to old cage to have a salad heehee) and more banana (he can keep that)
So being with a hero like me is obviously good for him!!!

Keeping Cool (its sooo hot)
Here are ways to keep cool until then;
My humans are very extravagant and have air conditioners this means at the flick of a switch I have all the cool air I need.
Other ways you can stay cool include filling bottles with water and freezing them, then standing them in front of a normal desk fan, when the fan blows you get extra coolness from the frozen bottles, or wrap the bottle in a towel and have it in your home where you can lean against it and keep cool. (wrapping it in a towel is important otherwise you could end up frozen against it, not nice!!) Outside piggies can have a damp towel placed over the front of hutch, this will need to be kept damp throughout the day.
You could convince your humans to invest in a cooler tile, these work by giving you something cool to sit on (without getting stuck to it) as they are made of marble they stay cool.
Get your humans to leave the curtains half shut as this helps stop the sun getting in and making your room too hot.
If you are outside in the garden make sure you stick to the shady areas, to keep cool and to prevent getting sunburn on your delicate ears and noses.
Guinea pigs can get very ill with heat exhaustion, the link belows tells your humans what to look out for and how to treat it.
http://www.oginet.com/pgurney/heatstroke.htm
Any other hints and information we can share?

Fresh Water
It doesnt matter if you dont drink all of it, that is no excuse for the humans to leave it there, would they like to drink a glass of water that had sat on the table all night?? I dont think so!! At least dead flies cant get into water bottles so guinea pigs have an advantage there.
I have pure unsweetened cranberry juice added to my water, to give me extra vitamin C and also to help prevent painful urinary tract infections.
So make sure your humans get you fresh cool water everyday and make sure the bottles are checked for leaks or worse than that not letting the water out.
Of course if your humans need reminding to get you fresh water you can always play with the bottle and empty it on the floor of the cage.
Thanks for that tip Agent I ;)

Me Has Eaten Both Strings
Mummy is calling me a little devil, I have chewed through the string on the other end of the tunnel, and then left the soggy bits on the floor to be cleaned up.
Mummy now has to squish tunnel between her legs before fighting to get the bag over the top.
Very funny to watch!!

Me Been on Holiday
Sorry for not updating blog for couple of days but me has been away.
Mummy and Daddy went for proper holiday without me (why bother) and I went to stay with Granny (wasnt she lucky?)
Granny spoilt me with lots of super treats, but now that I am home I will make Mummy and Daddy think I was neglected so they feel guilty for leaving me heeeheee
Only problem with Granny is she talks all the time, me glad of some peace and quiet now I am home, oh and of course she didnt know I could use the internet so she didnt let me online hmmmppptt
Other than that it was a good holiday.

Sleeping Humans!!!
We had floortime as usual and then the humans were watching a film, I jumped into bed for a quick snooze and when I woke up they were both asleep!!!
Mummy was curled up on the sofa dribbling, Daddy was on the floor snoring, and where was the camera for the blackmail shots?? upstairs where I couldnt get it grrrrrrrrr
With no one to watch me being brilliant and no camera for me to play with I stayed in bed until they woke up again.
Friday, June 19, 2009
Why Cant I Have the String
I have a pop up tunnel that comes in its own little bag so it can be tidied away when floor time is over, to help get it back in the bag at each end it has string attached so mummy can tie the string and it doesnt pop up.
I like to sit in my tunnel, or just outside, and chew the string, whenever I do this mummy always stops me.
Sometimes I have managed to get a lot of string in my mouth and mummy has to gently pull it out again complaining about how soggy it is, she then puts it so it is on top of tunnel and I cant reach it no more why??
Me wants to eat the string!!
My new mission is to eat that string!!

All About Hay
Hay has many uses, it is essential for keeping teeth worn down (remember guinea pig teeth grow constantly) the fibre helps keep your digestive system working properly (no soft or hard poops thank you very much)
Hay is also a good plaything, it can make a tunnel, a nest a castle anything you want and can imagine really, it can help keep you warm in winter and when you want to nap you can hide under the hay from the annoying humans.
I have 2 types of hay (me special you know) I have meadow hay to use for bedding and playing and burgess excel herbage timothy hay for eating (dont tell mummy but I eat the meadow hay as well heehee)
Make sure your humans know to provide you as much fresh hay as you can eat and some spare to play in, and make sure they dont get confused with hay and straw, straw can hurt guinea pigs if it pokes them in the eye, hay is much softer.
Well I am off to play king of the castle in my hay.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeek

Me Wanna Share
I jumped up with my front feet on his hands to get a taste and guess what he did..... he poured some onto his hand yuck (some went on the floor to but mummy doesnt know)
Well I was not happy with that so I jumped on his hand again and tried to nibble the carton and grab the straw but he wouldnt let me.
Now if he wanted to share my drink he could have it straight from my bottle no problem, these humans have no idea of manners and sharing.
Pffffffffffttttttttttt

Well the other day mummy put the food next to me in the bed area pffffffffttttt, I had to get out of bed drag the food with me to the bowl, put the food in the bowl and all so I could pick the food out of the bowl and drag it back to bed with me.
Mummy says she was trying to save ME time!!!

Me Has Spurs
These are hard dried bits of skin that grow out from the foot.
Here is link to good description and photo on the guinealynx website.
http://www.guinealynx.info/feet.html#spurs
The spurs on the piggy in the photo seem to grow out of the bottom of the foot, mine grow up the side up of my feet and are also a lot darker than the photo.
Mummy thinks I may have got mine from sitting with my feet overhanging my old mezzanine floor which was plastic and uneven due to chewing (I now have a melamine mezzanine floor) who knows I may have developed spurs anyway.
When mine get long they irritate me so I either have to wait for mummy to cut them down with the nail clippers or I chew them off myself.
I have sometimes pulled them with my teeth but that hurt and made them bleed when they came away from foot where they were attached, I have learnt and now I only bite the side bit off NO PULLING.
I prefer to remove them myself so whenever mummy tries to cut them I throw myself about and wriggle and try to bite to put her off, she can be determined though and between us we keep them short.
If you have spurs make sure you or your human keeps them trimmed down as they can catch on things and pull off causing you pain and bleeding and risk of infection.
You have been warned!

Naughty Daddy
Daddy then called Mummy and said are these alright for him to eat I have just given him 4.
They were daisy's
Mummy hasnt been able to find anywhere that says if they are good or bad, luckily for me they didnt make me ill (lucky for Daddy to he didnt have to sleep outside!!)
The lesson is you cant always trust your human
Now do any of you know if daisy's are good or bad?

Its not a Subway!!!
Well I finally suceeded in my mission to get behind the sofa, and I must say the cats have a better sofa than mine if they get to a subway.
I got behind the sofa and all I found was dust and dead flies YUCK!!!
Then I realised its not a subway, its a ........... time machine, I had gone back in time to before the horrible noisy hoover was invented, what else could explain all that dust???
Now I need to figure out how to make it take me somewhere interesting.........................................

Reading for Humans
Mummy says for cute pigtures and handy tips your human should read the books by the late great Peter Gurney, the man was seriously addicted to us!!!
There is also a webpage of health tips your humans might like to use here is the link http://www.oginet.com/pgurney/
For detailed anatomy and an indepth list of foods and what they contain mummy likes the Guinea Piglopaedia (try saying that after your carrot rum!!) this is written by Margaret Elward and Mette Ruelokke.
So now you can get your humans reading and while they are doing that you can get up to mischief heeheeeheee
And yes humans really can read!!!!

If I Cant get Round it.............
Trying to pull the plastic out would be too noisy so I tried to climb over it.
Mummy caught me with my bum stuck in the air and belly wedge on top of the plastic, not very comfy, not very dignified, not doing that again!!
Pffffffffttttt

Cuddle Time Is Over.........................
Here is how I have trained them to know cuddle time is over;
I have a special towel to cuddle on, so when I want to be let go I bite the towel, if they ignore that I bite it again, if they ignore that I bite it one more time if they still ignore that............................. I poop on the towel.
It took a couple of times to train them but now they know, let me go or I will poop on you!!
Some piggies use the bum dance in the same way, wiggle your bum while walking backwards and if they dont let you go before you finish the dance poop on them.
We will get these humans trained!!

Protecting Daddy
Last night me and daddy was watching a scary film called Alien Ressurection, we were watching with the lights out and these horrible alien creatures kept eating the humans.
In the middle of this the doorbell rang really loudly, so I jumped into daddy's arms to make him feel safe ;) ;)
Mummy opened door to strange man bringing her lots of food stuffs (I thought only piggies got home delivery food!)
When the strange man had gone and door was locked again I jumped out of daddys arms so he would know he was safe again.
What a brave piggy I am.........

Animal Rescue Site
To help feed piggies (and other animals) in shelters in the USA all you need to do is click to give on the animal rescue site, link below.
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3
At the moment you can also help specific shelters by voting for them after you have clicked to give.
Mummy is helping me with this, we have a list of 5 shelters our friends have told us about. We vote for a different shelter each day (mummy keeps a list) also when mummy is at work she votes from her work puter so most days we vote for 2 shelters.
These are the shelters we are voting for;
North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue (NJ)
Foggy Creek Cavy Rescue (WA)
Nebraska Humane Society (NE)
Guinea Pigs R Us (ON) Canada
Judges Park (PA) New Castle
Remember to click to give everyday, and remember we are lucky to have our families so treasure them.

What's so Funny??
I was on my special towel having a cuddle with mummy, daddy was sitting next to us on the sofa with a blanket on him.
Daddy was holding a bag that made a rustling noise (so it must have been a treat for me)
Well I ran off my towel and grabbed the corner of Daddys bag, at which point Mummy fell about laughing saying "you dont want crisps"
Why not I might want crisps, and a rustling bag means food, what was so funny???

Humans Need Exercise
Here is how I help mummy and daddy;
When I am out mowing the lawn or having floor time there comes a point when the humans want me to go back to bed, normally I would go back to bed by myself or run into tent or tube for them to pick up, dont do it, this is what they want and it encourages laziness!!!
When they want you to go to bed, run in the opposite direction, when they get close run to where you just were, it takes them a while but they realise what you are up to, when this happens start running at random, change direction and keep going.
You can also lay down pretending to be tired until they get near and run away again.
When you think they have had enough exercise you can safely hop into bed/tent/tube and allow them to think they have won heehee
Remember the humans need regular exercise!!!

Me Bit Daddy
He screamed like a girl and I didnt even draw blood hmpppffff
Me got sent to bed
Saturday, May 30, 2009
Cutting Nails
We have to trust the humans (eeeek) to cut them down for us.
Mummy says she is glad my nails are clear as dark nails scare her.
What mummy does is she sits me on her lap and distracts me with romaine so that I am not watching what she is doing, then she carefully cuts a little bit of each nail, we do this little and often.
With clear nails the humans can see where the quick ends (this looks like a dark pink line in middle of nail) if a human cuts the quick it hurts and we bleed (this means we can guilt trip them for ages heehee)
If your quick is cut the humans can use a styptic pencil or dip the toe in cornstarch or flour to stop the bleeding, dont worry its not that serious and you get lots of sympathy food.
With dark nails your human should only cut a little bit of the ends each time as its not obvious where the quick is.
Some humans put a brick under the water bottle so the piggy wears the nails down on the brick, mummy says she cant do that as I am so silly when I popcorn I would probably bash my head on it.
Mummy's top tip is, you dont have to do all the nails at once, if I am too restless or agressive she will stop with the ones she has done and come back to the others another day, sorted.
If your human trims your nails little and often you shouldnt have problems with them curling, although the older you get the more they tend to harden and curl grrrrrrrrrrrr.
If your human is afraid to cut your nails lots of vets will do it for them for a cost.

Boys Night In
It was all going to plan, Mummy had gone out dancing, Daddy put the TV on and let me out..........
Then he decided we should have a game, you know the sort........ sneak up on the feet and bite them before the human can chase you away, well I got caught up in playing for a long time and then I was so tired, I climbed into Daddys dressing gown and fell asleep.
I was rudely awakened by the front door opening and Mummy coming in.
I dont know how they did it, they must have known what I was planning and kept me distracted until bed time.
Hmmmpppppffff
Will have to try again next week!

Me got Scared
Well I was minding my own business waddling under coffee table when the tv went beeeeeeeeep beeeeeep really loud, it scared the poop out of me.
Daddy says I ran faster than a speeding bullet into the corner under the clothers airer.
I am ok now as soon as I heard Mummy putting the hay in my cage I knew it was safe to run back home, and I stayed there all evening, that will teach the TV not to scare me again!!

Guinea Pigs are Rodents
We are rodents, this means our teeth are always growing to stop them over growing we need to gnaw alot.
Good things to gnaw grass and hay, this helps keep teeth worn down as well as being yummy.
Bad things to gnaw headphones- Daddy was not happy the first time I gnawed through his headphone wires he was very unhappy the second time!!
Warning to humans if you leave something where a guinea pig could gnaw it a guinea pig WILL gnaw it!! BEWARE
Make sure the humans learn coz we wont.
What do you guys gnaw?

Mission Failed
Daddy was tired after eating lots of food (I know the feeling) only Mummy was on guard and she was reading a book.
I ran through my pop up tunnel to show I was just playing, then I went under coffee table and washed and made like I was settling down for a snooze. When she stopped looking I stretched out real far with my belly right on the floor and crept slowly toward sofa, I got to the plastic but when I tried to move it with my teeth it made a noise.
I had to run away and pretend I had never been near it.
Will have to wait until Mummy goes out dancing and Daddy is guarding alone as he will never hear over noise of TV heeehee
Will report back soon

Whats behind the sofa?
The problem is although it makes a perfect tunnel I am not allowed behind it!!
It is well guarded blocked by a box at one end and some sort of plastic at the other, sometimes I get close enough to chew the plastic but then the guard (mummy) chases me away.
My question is whats behind there and why cant I see it??
Have any of you got similar problems?

Parsley Bells
http://www.pamperedpiggies.co.uk/products.php?cat=18
Where to put your parsley bell: mine hangs from the metal bars at the back of my cage in the centre.
How to eat your parsley bell: stand on the bars and nibble away, stand on your back legs and yank it, or put front paws on the bell while you eat it, dont eat your feet!!!
How to make sure your humans know when your bell has run out: I find cuteness works wait until mummy or daddy are watching you (no point doing this if no one is looking) then stand up on the bars like you are going to eat the bell, look confused when there is no bell there to eat (this is the key part you need to look really sad so they feel guilty heehee)
Keep repeating until new bell arrives

Guinea Pigs Need Vitamin C
Fresh grass if available is good for vitamin C as is plenty of hay.
Mummy puts cranberry juice in my water, this is a good source of Vitamin C it tastes yummy and can also help prevent and treat urinary problems. Your humans need to make sure this is fresh every day.
Guinea pig foods contain added vitamin C but beware this can deteriorate over time.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are good for vitamin C and give us a yummy treat to eat, make sure you humans know that fresh food is necessary not just yummy wink wink
My favourite sources of vitamin C are beetroot (yummy and good fun more later)
Peppers especially the red ones.
Baby tomatoes (not too many coz of acidity)
Romaine lettuce (good for eating and wearing)
What do you guys like best?

Why are we called Guinea Pigs
Our Latin name is Cavia Porcellus or cavies/cavys for short.
Mummy and her friends call us pigs or piggies.
It is thought that the Guinea may relate to the amount of money we cost when first brought to Europe, an English Guinea was a lot of money.
There has been speculation that we are called pigs because we squeak and squeal so the humans say weee prefer the term wheeking.
Mummy says we are known as pigs coz we eat like pigs hmmmmpppppphhhhhhhhhhhhh
Helping Mummy
While she was cleaning the manly blue plastic base I stood with my feet on the edge watching to make sure she did it properly, when I was satisfied it had been done I wandered off to explore for a minute.
I heard the newspaper go in and then a rustling so I ran and jumped back in to wait for my hay but Mummy wouldnt play along she said no hay until you get out of the way. Well I had to give in and let her take me out again hmmmmppppppphhhhhhh.
Then the hay went in and she wasnt quick enough to stop me hee heee I jumped in and sat in the middle of it, then she had to put the rest in all around me heee heee.
Wasnt I helpful???

Playtime
Mummy moves my home into a room called the living room and opens the door I can then jump in and out of my home as I wish.
In my playroom I have a cardboard chube, a pop up tunnel, a clothes dryer and a Daddy to play with.
At different times new obstacles appear like slippers or dvds left in the way, if I want them moving I start nibbling them until the humans get the message and take them away.
Playtime is spent running round, or through my tunnel, jumping over Daddy and playing chase, then I need a rest to regain my strength so I sleep under the coffee table or sneak into Daddy's dressing gown for a quick nap.

Where I Live
I am an indoor guinea pig, I live in a indoor cage, which has a manly blue plastic base and steel bars ideal for chewing or hanging items such as my water bottle and my favourite treat a parsley bell.
At one end of my cage Daddy has installed a melamine shelf this was supposed to be for me to sleep under as a hideaway but I like to sleep or sit on top of the shelf and look down on the world.
I have a ceramic food bowl with a pigture of a guinea pig on the bottom I hardly get the see the pigture as Mummy makes sure I never run out of pellets.
I also have access to a playground but more about that later.
