I promise I have not had too much Xmas sherry
We had a relatives dog here on Xmas day who is unknown around other animals so I moved my two boys from their open C&C cage in the kitchen to an enclosed , much smaller cage (the one they came in and were living in before we got them . I have kept the cage in the garage for emergencies ).
Anyway, the boys were in their cage for about 5 hours. We all felt guilty and gave them lots of treats and popped in to see them regularly ( they were out of the way upstairs out of the dogs reach) As soon as the dog went , we put the boys back in the kitchen. All Boxing Day, Cocoa stayed in his hidey and pointedly turned his back on us. Do guinea pigs sulk?! He has forgiven us now...just (after some peace offering parsley)
