Hi Everyone and welcome to Term 3
Have a look below and see how our little friends are settling in. We have been thoroughly enjoying their funny behaviours especially their loud squeaks, 'popcorn' jumps and their habit of jumping on top of their hay rack for a nap. The children have developed a real empathy for them which you can see in their very careful handling of them. Keeping the cage clean is the not so glamorous side of owning guinea pigs but they are showing real responsibility to get the job done each day without a fuss. Check out our first couple of days with them below featuring our buddies from Room 7.
Lastly, we need your help! The guinea pigs need about a cup of vegies per day, with about 2 servings of fruit (depending on the level of sugar) per week. We've discovered they LOVE celery (the leaves especially) and are enjoying cucumber and carrots almost daily. Guinea pigs are able to eat a huge range of foods so if you have leftovers or want to pop something little in your shop to help, here are some ideas:
There is also an extensive list through this website here
