Junior Guinea Pig
Bought a new lap-sized fleece pad for the lads today, and tried it out with Harry who stretched out in my lap and sat quite still, while being made a fuss of, for about 15 minutes.
I was sat next to their cage, and Lloyd was in his hidey, ignoring us.
Then it was time to swap. So I put Harry back (who promptly legged it into his own hidey), scooped up Lloyd and gave him some TLC.
After about two minutes, Harry started walking round the cage, into the hay pile, in the tunnel and the hideys. Then, when he spotted Lloyd and I, he started wheeking and popcorning, before coming over for a closer look.
Lloyd started wheeking back and Harry did it even more!
It's the first time I've heard either of them do it and I was so excited.
Also, and I don't know if it's true, but I reckon it's a sign they really love each other, and that Harry misses Lloyd when he's gone. But then I am a soppy cavy slave...
Just wanted to share because it felt like a really lovely moment.
