Mui Mui with Baby

Mui Mui loves to carry Baby and play with it out of the cage. Baby loves to be carried. It seems that the more we carry him, the tamer he gets and the more he interacts with us.

When we have little time to play with the two guinea pigs, they get very bored and will start shifting their bowls all around the cage. They will arrange their feeding bowls around the center of the cage and play catch with each other.

Fluffy and Baby loves new things, especially paperbags where they can burrow in and hide. They can play with those for hours. Posted by Picasa

My Guinea Pigs are becoming more intelligent ...or perhaps bored!

It had been a rather long time since I can find the time to write. Working a 14 hour day in a new and demanding job is just too much but Fluffy and Baby keep me sane. I loved them so much and missed them at work.

Baby has become more intelligent at begging for treats. I cleaned the cage out every evening and filled a hay rack with grass, 3 bowls with pellets and treats, and a drinking station up with water. But Baby squeaks every time we open the refrigerator door and every time we eat fruits. He also moved the heavy ceramic bowls out of the corner around the cage and arranged them in a shape of a room where he would rest in. I wonder how he did that - but once he was able to do it, he remembered it all the time. He arranges the "furniture" in his cage ...sigh. I kept thinking that he's more like a rat or dog than a guinea pig.
