Guiness The Guinea Pig
My guinea pig is called Guiness. He was a gift from my dear friend Betty and I have now had him for nearly two years. I called him guiness not because of his colouring but because Guiness sounds abit like guinea!
He is quite a shy guinea pig (not that you can tell this from these photographs!), although he will squeak as you walk past his cage when he wants something. Guiness often calls out when he wants some fresh vegetables. His favourites are carrot, cucumber, lettuce, courgette, banana skins, strawberries and apple. If his water container is getting low then he will also call out. He is a clever guinea pig.
My nephew has adopted Guiness as a birthday gift, so although Guiness still lives on the farm my nephew can tell his friends that he has a guinea pig. When he comes to visit he feeds Guiness and sometimes helps me to clean him out, which I think is great and so does my nephew and Guiness!
Guinea Pig Pets
Hello
What a good idea to adopt a guinea pig & keep it at someone else’s house. I bet other mum’s would be pleased with an adopted pet.

Hi Patricia,
I’m glad you like the idea of adopt a pet. I have already adopted out Guiness the Guinea Pig, Hatty The Hen, Camilla The Guinea Fowl,One Ear The Saler Cow, as well as Snowy, Francis & Milky The Charolais Cows. The children all received a certificate, photograph and a special letter from their animal. Some of the children have even visited their adopted animal and fed them. One of our friend’s little girl said when was her cow coming home to her house!
Thanks for your comments.

Hi Barbara,
Guinea pigs are lovely pets and although some people do put rabbits and guinea pigs together, I have read that guinea pigs can be bullied by rabbits. I wonder whether you could get another dwarf rabbit to keep your pet company.
Kind regards
