This is Daisy (black and white) and Maisie (black and tan) - our two new
additions to the family.
They were purchased from
a large pet store on Saturday 29th December 2002, much
against Stephen's wishes!
Elizabeth had been asking for a rabbit or guinea pig for ages
and I thought that we would
do better with guinea pigs, so Elizabeth and I went to the
shop to look at them, to
see how much all the equipment would cost, and then found
ourselves bringing two little
piggies home!
They are quite shy at the
moment, and Maisie can give a nasty nip, but I think that is
more my inexperience at
handling them than her fault. I have had to go on a bit of a
learning curve to find out
what they eat and to make sure that they get the right nutrition.
It's amazing how having
cats all my life has meant that I know instinctively what to do
with them, but with guinea
pigs I have no idea!
