Baby Guinea Pigs!

3/15/2014

The big news today is that we have new baby guinea pigs!  They're absolutely adorable, so I have to share their very first photo...

The mom is half teddy (rough short fur), half hairless, and the dad was Abyssinian (longer fur with swirls) - so these babies could be skinny-pig carriers.  We've been trying to find homes for our two remaining guinea pigs, but now we'll have to wait until babies have been weaned (next month).  There is one tri-color Abyssinian (far left in photo), one brown agouti teddy (front/center in photo), and two tri-color teddy (back center and far right in photo).  They're all adorable and follow mom around as she goes from food dish to water bottle to house to hay, and make the cute little "week-week" squeaks.  No word on gender yet, but handling them to socialize them is going to be a lot of fun!  When they're weaned, they'll be $25 each if anyone is interested in adopting!   Their mom is available for $30 once she's done weaning this litter, and I have another older baby (born last August) for $50.  She's the daughter of the mom pig, but her dad was also a teddy/skinny cross, so she is likely a skinny carrier too.  She is pregnant (bred to the same Abyssinian male that fathered this litter).

I attempted to re-plant the Roma tomatoes into other containers to thin them out a bit.  Tony and I counted - there were 120 seedlings already up!  Yikes!  He said we couldn't keep them all (my voice of reason - because I wanted to save them all).  We managed to fill a couple containers with seedlings, but soon after they all drooped over.  I know transplanting can stress plants out - I just hope I didn't accidentally kill them all.
