tngdiablo Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think it's somewhere near the entrance to the old building. I really don't know. I didn't partake in the burying. I was but 9 years old at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackyboxer Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 I'd like to ask everyone to keep our little female guinea pig, Joni, in their thoughts. Her mom has started rejecting her, so we've started her on milk replacement formula. We'll be feeding her by syringe every 3 to 4 hours for the next several days. I'll post updates about her everyday or so for a few days and I'll post more pics of all the babies in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyboxer Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm very sad to report that we've lost little Joni. She was only with us for 5 days but she was a beautiful little creature and she'll always be in our hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackyboxer Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Thanks for your thoughts everyone.  I dont know but when we had a litter of puppies this never happened so i dont understand but i am very sorry  I don't know for sure why it happened. Maybe Oreo sensed that Joni was sick or something. I guess maybe we just missed something with Joni. I know from past experience with rodents that sometimes if a mother has given birth and it senses that one of the babies is sick, the mom will reject the one that is sick to concentrate on caring for the ones that are healthy.  And sometimes, after a female animal gives birth, she just shows no interest in nursing the babies. There are stories about bigger animals that do the same on television sometimes. We've had to bottle raise puppies in the past when the mom wouldn't.  Oreo's litter was actually larger than normal and she's a first time mom, so things like this just happen I guess. Both Socks and Ringo are growing quickly, and Oreo is doing a fine job with them, so we're very thankful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You ought to see them when they "Popcorn" (they hop into the air when they're very happy)! It's so funny! I just waiting for them to start doing their laps around the cage like their parents do! It kinda like watching "Cousin It" run around in circles, it's just hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Awwww, the new pictures of the baby guinea pigs are adorable. One of them looks like their head is a bit bigger than their body (the first one in the pictures). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngdiablo Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I'm going to have to go ahead and steal one of the pictures of Socks because I think it is the cutest picture I have seen in forever! (Just want to post it on my blog) I swear, I almost melted when I saw the picture of Socks with his big 'ol head and tiny body. I miss my gerbils Too bad you can't have pets in college...

Wackyboxer Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 ^that's cool! Â ^^yeah, right now Socks head is proportionently bigger than his body, but he'll grow into it eventually. If he's anything like his daddy, he'll be huge from head to tail in about 5 or 6 months. The way his fur is growing in is kind of weird right now, but we think he's going to have the Abyssinian coat like his momma. Â Ringo is so fluffy and soft and if he keeps growing like he has this first week, he's going to be a giant among guinea pigs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinab Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thank you so much for sharing them with us! They are so damn cute, I can't stand it. I've been wanting to get a guinea pig for my kids, but I'm afraid my cat would attack it, so we'll have to wait (she's almost 18 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyboxer Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 ^Wow, she's had a very long (and excellent, I'm sure) life so far! I'd never wish for someone's family pet to pass on, but when that unfortunate day does come, I bet the kids (and you) will love getting a guinea pig!
