Pet sounds (and vision)

Our last post mentioned that Martha received an empty guinea pig hutch for Christmas. Since then she's been very patiently waiting for us to get something to put in it. Last Saturday we finally got two female guinea pigs who we've today decided to call Humbug and Fudge.

Here they are


They're in their hutch out in the shed, which must be a bit cold at the moment but we've been bringing them in every day so they can get used to us.





They seem to like to be held and stroked. Humbug is definitely more inquisitive at the moment while Fudge just seems content to take it all in. Humbug is a Merino breed and Fudge a Texel. You have to brush their fur now and again as well as cut it if it gets too long!
