Henry is getting all old and dying. :c Took him to the vet who said that. He's eating fine and such. He scared Lonin today though, went to give him his medicine and he wasn't moving. Thought he was dead for a second. :c


Something similar happened with my hamster. I came home from spring break and went upstairs to check on him. He was sitting upright, looking alert. I reached in and petted him but he wasn't moving. All the sudden he fell over and did not move. I thought he was dead but a few minutes later he started moving around again normally.

Coconut( one of my female guinea pigs ) goes CRAZY over carrots! She and Kiwi ( my other female ) started fighting over one when I set it down in front of them. I let them work it out and they stopped fighting later. Kiwi and Coconut both love apples. I feed them all their vegetables and fruits in moderation, so they don't get too much of their favorite foods. ;)

Awww silly hamster.
Henry died yesterday, definitely dead this time. :B

Break the carrot in half/cut it up or give them one each. Guinea pigs don't share. XD
Dash likes broccoli and kale. :B Ooooh and peas.

Sherbert likes pumpkin seeds. Don't know why. Lint won't eat anything 'extra' besides spinach, that, hay, and pellets.

Every guinea pig likes different things..... My two males love carrots but the female doesn't...

It's really odd how picky cavies can be.

XD IKR? I give grapes to one who goes crazy for them, but the other one just walks away. One eats celery leaves and cucumber and the other won't even try it!

I have to use three different foods now. It started when I first got Lint. Sherbert ate both types of food so I mixed them. Then when Lint came I bought another type of food and began to introduce that. Lint decides he doesn't like it and only ate the original two types. When this happened Sherbert stopped eating the two and will only eat the third. *sigh* So picky.

XD OMG fail. My guinea pigs only care about their veggies. But, they all eat differently. Scurry eats with his PAWS in the bowl and very,VERY slowly. MeltingSnow tips over the bowl and hardly eats. Fiona actually eats normally but very quickly.

XD Sherbert dumps the bowl so that he can go under the platform, hide and eat. Lint puts his feet on top when he is trying to eat so Sherbert can't do this to his own bowl. Even if he won't eat the food, Sherbert tries to dump the bowl.

....0-o Is it normal for a cavy to try to take a nap in his food bowl?
