Two excited wheekers when their new boxes arrived.
I just need to fit in a visit to the local livery yard by the end of the week to get a couple of small bales of meadow hay for their beds. Hopefully that’ll do us until the new year. Unless the munching monsters decide they’re absolutely starving!
We’ll they do keep telling me that they haven’t had their vegetables, whilst the sit on top of any veggies they’ve just been given to prove there’s no food in the hutch.
I love how owning guinea pigs make you excited about things like hay
I often imagine telling my 18 year old self that one day I would be sniffing hay and getting highly excited about it!
All I have to do is think back to the other week where they were stuck on hay they didn't like because of DPD (well, because DPD don't like me lol) and that bouncing up to the bars. "Do you have it yet DoYouHaveItYet DOYOUHAVEITYETDOYOU DO YOU HAVE IT", there's nothing like seeing them excited over their hay.
And then realising you're more excited than they are.
I never realised i would know so much about hay. We currently have at least 3 types of hay on the go, plus a bag of Readigrass.
I love watching Pol popcorn around the bottom half of the cage in the morning because i am filling their loft with fresh hay. She runs up and down the ramp waiting for me to finish and then launches herself into it.
I need to get sorted for winter. If we have snows or have bad weather in general, deliveries can't get here. Thankfully I have a decent sized shed to store piggy stuff in, I just need to collapse the hutch first (pigs are indoors). Problem is I have 8 pigs, so that's a lot of hay, and there's only 2 brands of hay they'll eat!
I am so glad I'm not the only one who gets excited for hay.
