Finally, some time to write about my 2 GPs again

Incessant training, work, studying and other commitments had taken away so much time and energy from my writing. But Baby and Fluffy had continued to grow from strength to strength. While Fluffy used to be the dominant male and was about twice the size of Baby, they are now the same size and display even more interesting personalities.

Do guinea pig's personality change? I believe so. I play them classical music everyday - and yes, they listen attentively when music is being played. They seemed to enjoy Mozart's music and would appear most relaxed and happy.

Would stimulation make guinea pigs become more intelligent? Perhaps. I think both Fluffy and Baby are more like dogs than GPs. They each know their names and would come when called. When I called "Fluffy", Fluffy would stop doing whatever he's doing and come to the side of the cage. It's the same with Baby -- they are incredibly intelligent for a guinea pig!

Now, whenever I got home, both the piggies would come to the side of the cage and greet me with standing ovation and loud 'wheeks'. They behave just like doggies!

It's winter now and the climate seemed a bit too cold the past week - but our house heater is on 24 hours just because of Fluffy and Baby.
