So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Choosing The Right Guinea Pig Cage

By Ada Fisher


Before choosing a guinea house for your guinea pig it is very important that you have a large enough cage for the Guinea Pig and room for its feed bowl, toys, bedding area and room for it to run around. There are so many guinea pig hutches in pet shops these days that are too small for a Guinea Pigs needs, which include; exercise, play, socializing, sleeping and eating. Listed here are some ways to improve your Guinea Pig's home.

What you put in the guinea pig cage is just as important as what dimension the guinea cage is. A large guinea cage devoid of the needed accessories will probably be uninteresting for your Guinea Pig, and it's going to in the long run have a very depressing result on their physical and psychological condition, your Guinea Pig distressed. The guinea cage ought to be completely enclosed to keep your guinea pig in and other animals out. Include bedding and tunnel's and low ramps although guinea pigs are not agile and don't climb well, in spite of this they do need areas to play, explore and exercise.

The best cages are made from plastic, steel, wire, or a mixture of these materials. Timber hutches are easily chewed all the way through and glass cages don't make available sufficient exposure to air and could also shatter easily and injure your Guinea Pig/s. Don't use wire meshing as the flooring to your Guinea Pig's cage as housing your Guinea Pig's in a cage with a wire mesh base is placing them at risk. Pet guinea pigs have very hypersensitive and thin-skinned feet and the wire can slash their feet or give them a condition known as Bumblebee. This is when the paw of the Guinea Pig swells up much bigger than its normal size and is very painful to the Guinea. So if your cage has a wire floor, which many do, make sure to cover it with cage mats.

It is a good idea when getting a Guinea, to also get it a cage mate. In the wild, guinea pigs live in herds, consisting of usually one dominant adult male, a number of females and her babies. Guinea's would much rather live as a pair or a herd, they feel that there is safety in numbers. They also enjoy the company of their own kind, communicating and interacting with each other. Both males and females have a strict dominance ranking. The domestic Guinea Pigs act in much the same way as wild guinea pigs.

There are also benefits for you personally as a pet guinea pig owner. You'll get to see so a lot of diverse kinds of behavior when they interact with one another. Particular behavior just wouldn't be seen with a single guinea. Playing 'following the leader' tug of war with their veggies, grooming each other, sniffing, so much more that a lone guinea pig just wouldn't be able to do. One account that crops up is "my guinea pig won't bond with me if they have a cage mate". This just isn't true. As long as you're gentle and caring towards your guinea pigs, they will bond with you. You will also notice that your guinea pig will become more confident and relaxed so that is an added bonus for you and your Pet guinea pig.
