Thanks Sonic, Fairy is so sweet and photo-able! I have been looking at the gorgeous guineas on the GuineaLynx Forum recently, what a lot of far too cute piggies! They would make a BIG book full!
Pat! Porridge
Well, (she whispered) Mildred (my first guinea) used to have a toast crust for her breakfast every morning, she wheeked like mad if it wasn't served up immediately, she could smell it toasting, and I bet her expression was just like your Pepsies, all wide-eyed!! Oh yes, and Molly had a few strands of that bran cereal, I can't think what it is called as I haven't eaten that for years, is it Go Bran . . . All Bran maybe? Well, she loved a couple of bits! They both lived to be over 6 and were always healthy!
I have just been an hour feeding Fairy, all the regular line up but tonight she couldn't stop eating broccoli, sliced up 'julienne' fashion of course
Hubby is away tonight and it took me all my time keeping up with her having to do it all on my own, slicing, posting, slicing etc! I must get some Swiss Chard, they like Chicory, none of them will go near peppers of any colour (and again, in the past most of them loved it, how odd). Spinach . . . well, it makes Marigold a little bloated, Fairy hasn't tried it yet but I bet she will love the stalk bit. I go to M&S too! Their salad leaves seem fresher - they love Rocket and Watercress, not Lambs Lettuce though! Fairy likes the carrot in those salad bags! And she loves tomatoes now but they have to be sliced into bite sized bits
To top it all off they had a basket of fresh grass (god forbid it isn't the 'right' grass), hay of course (Timothy, meadow (the dust free sacks), and oat hay)! and their bowl of cereals.
Do you get asked daft questions at the supermarket? And when you are out grass collecting? I tell people I am making soup
It is a bit like when I buy HHog chicken in the supermarket, I hate buying it and can't even eat chicken now, in the early days I said, 'oh it is for the hedgehogs', but that started a big conversation off, so now I say, 'oh I will put this in a different bag - it is for my neighbour'!!!! They must think my neighbour eats a lot of chicken legs
Just thinking about Parsley, Pat, mine don't like it fresh - either the bagged sort of the plant pot - I have to plant it in the veg bed and then wait a couple of weeks before it is considered suitable, maybe it comes with loads of chemicals and the piggies can smell/taste them - ugh.
Do yours like corn on the cobs, and the husks?
And finally, their very favourite, best ever food? Bamboo leaves
I have never known a guinea not like them!

She can nod off anywhere!
