C'est la vie~

my blackie. very ticklish and jumpy!

this is their toilet. yeah and where i put veges haha

and when readings are getting too boring. the words all look the same. alphabets jumble together. i fool around with it and my pig.

obviously too fat for the paper boat. who cares. good thing about guinea pigs. they will never move no matter how you nudge them. thats why shes my puppet! =)





the mask one is the ultimate. hahaha. love that! cute pig huh.

Do you know that Guinea pigs are delicacy in Peru? it is also a staple food in South America, just like how we eat chicken. I can't imagine killing my pig, skinning it, then fry or BBQ it!! arhh!! we treat them like treasure, they treat them like food!!

BBQ Guinea pig meat.
Deep Fried style. looks like our roasted pork. Guinea Pork shall be it! look at them!! so cute! how to eat!?!?!

i want a peruvian gpig!

TWO LITTERS!! MY FEMALE GUINEA PIG GAVE BIRTH TO TWO LITTERS WHEN WE WERE ALL SLEEPING!! my family were all shocked! at first my sis woke up and walk to the toilet, as usual, she'll glance at the pigs whenever she walks pass and she saw one black tiny thing crawling around... then she went closer to see... It's a miniature of the male guinea pig!! sooooooooo cute!!! then the panick started when she woke the whole family up and we were all lost as to how to handle them. hahaha.. it was a mad rush this morn~
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 =)

the female. i used Rachel's baby shampoo to bathe them. hehe

the male -- he is so meaty! can hardly feel the bone
clean bedding. clean water. clean food. happy!
carrots. they love it.

it looks a bit like the beast in Beauty & the Beast . haa haa

Brother-in-law (matthewscl) was so bad. he didn't like to take photos of the mixed black and brown guinea pig cuz he said its fur is too messy. haha.. and the colour of it is black, making the photos dull.. thats why I have only ONE photo of the aby breed! and SHU FANG said they sound like alien?!?!
