Baby Guinea Pigs!!
Friday, June 15, 2007
then I peep into the blue hut -- oh my goodness!! one more brown litter!! identical to the mother!! so there're two.. one all brown with a center parting like the mother, the other is black and brown, like the father.. haha so cute! thank goodness there are only 2 litters.. I can't imagine having more.. it's already a little over-crowded in there.. haha!
arhhH!!! they are really the cutest thing I've ever have!! even cuter than hamsters!! and fishes too. yuck. the amazing thing about guinea pig is that the moment the litter is born, it is fully furred with big eyes and teeth. amazing isn't it? and a moment later you'll see them running around. I was shocked to see the Baby Black chasing the Baby Brown.. a good sign.. means they are all healthy and well =) yeah! I've succeeded in rearing them! thank God there's no deformity or difficult labour. the litters are all perfect!
weaning - have to wean for 3 to 4 weeks. so sweet ~ luckily the mother didn't reject her babies. that happened in some cases and the babies will starve to death..
amazingly, the Baby Black starts eating apple when it is less than 12 hrs old!!! and it loves apple!! it doesn't choose the carrots -not that it's too hard or he has no teeth, he has teeth!- so cute!!
all four guinea pigs now. haha. two brown. two black. funnily, the Browns stay together. the Blacks stays together. thats so colour. Colour rangers! haha.. wherever the papa Black goes, the Baby Black will follow.. even when the papa goes to eat. mayb thats why the Baby Black keep eating apple. one prefers apple, the other milk. I suspect Baby Brown is a female too. and Baby Black is male.
so small and light! very soft fur!
eating again. haha. well.. it's a good sign =)
