Jumping guinea-pig

So, I was making pictures for a friend of mine and while I was doing that I (accidentally) made a picture of Katie jumping from the little wooden cot in their cage. I put it on the side so they couldn't go and hide while I made the pictures. Still they jumped ontop of it and when they get up they also need to get down. Katie demonstrated how that is done.

Oxi

There is a new Guinea-pig on the petting zoo, she is a purebreed and her breed is called Coronet. Her name is Oxi, 1 month old, and of course I took some pictures of her. Isn't she adorable?

Jenna is becoming a big girl!

Do you remember the post I made about 3 months back about my first guinea-pig Jenna? I said her hair would continue to grow, didn't I?
Remember the sweet, little black and white fluffball?

Well, my little black and white fluffball grew up! She is almost four months old now, weighs over the 700 grams and her hair has grown a lot! She is no longer my little fluffy but has grown up to a almost adult guinea with very pretty, long hairs.
Isn't she stunning?

These were made yesterday

 And these were made today

Unox

I'm not really in the mood to write alot about this topic today so all I say will be that this is the petting zoo's new Pig, she is still a young pig so probably will be able to stay there for a couple of years. She'll replace Tante Trees and her name is not really announced yet but for now we're calling her Unox.

The first white babies!

Today, right around the time the petting zoo closed, one of the white goats decided to give birth.

It was her first time so we were glad she started when we were still around, especially since the babies were not laying as they should with their paws and snout forward. Luckily both babies were alive and doing well!

They are two boys and both look exactly like their mommy, what do you think, aren't they cute?

They have arrived!!

For those of you who might have seen my weekly updates on Gina's pregnancy this surely will not come as a surprise since I am 2 days late with posting the next update. For those who follow my twitter account you all know the babies are born already!

Anyway, last thursday I wanted to get Gina out of the cage to make the new picture for the next update, she was in the small cottage inside the cage together with Jenna so I picked it out of the cage. The first strange thing I noticed was a piece of gold color where gray had to be on mommy Gina. Was it true, were there babies? I quickly took Jenna away from Gina and YES!! Next to Gina there were 2 healthy pretty babies! Unfortunally these two were not the only ones and 2 others had died probably while she gave birth, one of them was a extremely beautiful black and a little white baby and the other had three colors like the rest. I weighted them at 104 and 66 grams. Their picture is the last one I will post in this blog.

The two living were extreme beauties as well, all 4 of them were. They were weighed on the first day as well and ended up being 98 and 89 grams. Very nice if you ask me. Of course mom dropped alot of weight, ze went from almost 1300 to 891 grams and she still is losing a bit of weight. The babies are only gaining so they are really doing GREAT!! The two eat hay, bell pepper and chicory but they stay away from the normal food at this moment.

Now, I've been babbling about weights long enough and I guess you all are waiting for the pictures, right? Well, here they are!!

Baby number 1 (named Aiden as long as he stays here) was the baby of 98 grams, he weighs 112 today!
