We got them a dude.

This is Bruno Mars.

Marcie wants a couple litters  before we have him neutered. He's SUCH a sweet boy. Hes been at the pet store since we got the girls. Our son Cameron says he needs a home, so here we are.

 

[MantisGirl13]

Awesome! He's so cute!

They're all friends now. Im sure they'll be getting friendlier soon enough. LoL.

Panda had three little babies tonight. One's tiny. Hope it survives! It scoots around tho. Happy night.

They were out of their minds this morning. Especially Cameron, as Panda is his.

Aww, they are so adorable! I love the little dark one with the white stripe on its face.

They're so sweet and docile. 

The stripey is the largest of the three. 

We feed the widdle runt a goat's milk formula. We use a medicine syringe like one would use to dose a child's Tempra. 

It does suckle on momma's teet too though, and eats bits of kibble and such. Just adding calories where we can.

We mix it with Pedialyte. Sipping on it just like this, but I dont think it's necessary any more. Hes been going to his mom right after hand feedings and suckling more.

Looks healthy, and we expect him to grow grow grow!

And no, these aren't my lovely hands. 

 

[MantisGirl13]

I didn't think so! Lol

We are DEVASTATED.

Penny perished after giving birth to her two babies. I don't know anything about guinea pig 'gynecology', but it appears her uterus prolapsed delivering her two health full-sized babies. My wife came home to find her near dead, and soothed her as she went. By the time i'd raced home, she was gone.

What a day. Soooo bummed. She was our fav. Caleb and Cameron were obv. very upset.

Panda seems to have adopted Penny's babies.

RIP baby piggy.

Cameron's tribute:

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry, that's so sad. You'll miss her, I'm sure!

Thank you.
