Guinea Pigs

Here are some photos of our little piggies...we got them for christmas. Chad made them a nice cage with a 2nd level and ramp and a little house! Their names are Bolt and Snuggles, and if you ever meet them the reasons would be obvious. The only names the kids could come up with at the start were Biblical names, none of which sounded right. But Bolt is fast (and a bit afraid) and snuggles is well, snuggly (as can be anyway). They are family pets but Josiah mostly has Bolt and Elijah has Snuggles. Levi shares both when in the mood (which is for very short periods of time).

They are well loved. Elijah esp. loves them, Levi is not quite safe with them. They both have been know to do "tricks" with them...like flips and flying...but the pigs are still safe and we've had to do quite a bit of teaching on gentleness...esp with Levi. Josiah is very good with them, and by far the best "chore doer" however he is afraid of their sharp claws, so Elijah picks them up for him.
