Pray for Jenna

So, I felt like making a new blog and the pictures of Epica were in the planning for this post. However I have decided to use this post for my guinea-pig girl Jenna. She is not doing to well at the moment. She has been to the vet 2 days ago and if she doesn't start to eat really soon I will go back in a few hours.

Jenna has an abcess under her chin and it doesn't seem to be doing as well as I thought yesterday so if it doesn't aprove between now and 10 tomorrowmorning I will go back to the vet just to be sure she'll survive. Will you all pray for her to be okay please? She needs every small bit she can get!

Black and white guinea-pig

I love how people find my blog while searching google for images of black and white guinea-pigs. This blog will be for all those black and white guinea-pig lovers and when you also love long haired guinea-pigs you'll love this post I think (hope) since this blog contains pictures of my black and white Peruvian girl Jenna.

Jenna is currently staying with Kareltje, a longhaired white male who hopefully got Jenna pregnant. Jenna will return home tomorrow after being away for 4 weeks and I just realized I never posted pictures of the cute lovecouple.

Enjoy!

Jenna thinks he is kind of scary at first

 But later....

 Still, she rather sits alone

 Karel watches her

 Okay, I'll sit with you

 Close but also far away

 Outside she stays with him

 Cute couple huh?

 Following him wherever he goes

 Are you talking about me?

 Eating some tomato

 peekaboo!

 Very white

 Karel, where are you?

 I want a bite of that hay as well, you have to share it!

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.

Balou is here!

Today my pregnant guinea-pig (pregnant from her brother unfortunally....) decided to give birth right when I was watching.
First a beautiful white and black girl was born and second a three colored boy was born. The second one was smaller but that was only good because unfortunally the big female died not long after she was born. It is possible she got alot of fluid in her lungs because maybe, because she was so big, it took too long before she was born.

I named the little boy Balou since I name the babies born here alphabetical, Gina's sons both had a name starting with a A and now Katie's boy had to have a name starting with a B.

Anyway, here are the little ones!

First when they were just born it were two of them.

And these were taken later today after the female died.

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?

Katie's babybelly

My sweet Katie is pregnant. Unfortunally it seems that she is pregnant of her own brother since I have her for 3 weeks now and she is about 8 weeks pregnant, maybe even longer. The poor girl isn't even 5 months old yet but I'm expecting she'll do great as a mommy and she has Gina to help her.
She gained almost 90 grams in only 1 week time and when I lightly place my hands on her stomach the babies can be felt when they are moving so I guess it won't take long now. She is not really fat but she does have a babybelly, don't you think?

Guinea-pigs funny face

So, I was planning to take a picture of Gina today. When I picked up my camera she was laying down all stretched out and relaxed but when I zoomed in she woke up and looked at me. The picture that came out of that was just a hilarious one. But I'm sure you all agree that she has a very sweet face!

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

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!

The second babyboy was the one who weighed 89 grams at birth and was 97 grams today! (Named Adam as long as he stays here)

 First sniff on aunty Jenna's piece of bell pepper

 And the first bite!!

Now some pictures of them together.
