I apologize for not doing a weigh in for a while - I've been so busy! Well here is the weigh in for Saturday the 11th of February 2012:<br />
<br />
**Boys Pad**<br />
<br />
Astro: 910grams (gained 35grams) - 32weeks (8m)<br />
Mika: 725grams (gained 75grams) - 24weeks (6m)<br />
<br />
<br />
**Girls Palace**<br />
<br />
Crumble: 450grams (gained 25grams) - 16weeks (4m)<br />
Cherri: 525grams (gained 45grams) - 16weeks (4m)<br />
<br />
<br />
Total piggy weight: 2610grams (!) total piggy gain: 180grams<br />
<br />
This weigh in was a good weigh in with every-one gaining. Special mention goes out to Mika gaining 75grams! 2610grams is a heavy and my pigs weigh that! Wow! The girls are at the right age to be breed but I don't really intend on breeding them! The consequences of breeding (loosing the bubs and/or mother) are going to be hard and I wont be able to loose those darlings! <br />RachelsPiggieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988047590547426064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347108502389495769.post-12243644495860940212012-01-25T22:32:00.000-08:002012-01-25T22:45:27.051-08:00Weigh in for a month and two weeks! (sorry)As I repeat, I have been very busy and could not do much but I managed to weight the guinea pigs! So here is the weigh in for Wednesday the 25th of January 2012:<br />
<br />
**Boys Pad**<br />
<br />
Astro: 875grams (stayed the same) - 30weeks (7m, 2w) *In a month and two weeks*<br />
Mika: 650grams (gained 50grams) - 22weeks (5m, 2w) *In a month and two weeks*<br />
<br />
<br />
**Girls Palace**<br />
<br />
<br />
Crumble: 425grams (stayed the same) - 14weeks (3m, 2w) *In two weeks*<br />
Cherri: 480grams (gained 80grams) - 14weeks (3m, 2w) *In two weeks*<br />
<br />
<br />
Total gain: 130grams<br />
Total weight: 2430grams<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow, we are seriously topping the scales! I must say I am slightly worried about the staying the sames from both Astro and Crumble but I hope I will start doing the weekly weighs! Well - I really did have an AMAZING holiday! :)<br />

Mika - the camera had funny lighting so sort of came out pinky - red - orange but I kinda like it! Mika has a swollen foot that I am working to heal and hope it isn't Bumble foot but so far it doesn't look like bumble foot! Still it has been going on for two weeks so I'm going to take him to the vets if it doesn't heal!<br />

Yay finally got one ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
And last but NOT least we went to the vets (complications with our pet bird) and got supplied with bird nail clippers... the vet said he uses the clippers on birds - cats and small dogs so they should be fine... we tested them out on Mika and they worked a million dollars!<br />
<br />
**Unfortunately no pictures were taken off the clippers but they looked the same as any... if you find a pair of clippers in the shops/vets and it doesn't say "clips nails for: - use on animals:" or anything close to that please get them checked by your vet that they are safe to use or in a shop situation (pet shop) go to the counter and ask!**<br />

You can never finish this post with-out an adorable video! ;) <br />

Oh dear - I am so sorry for not doing last week - ends weigh in! I weighed the pigs then got dragged down with cleaning duties etc! I completely forgot I hadn't put in last weeks weigh in until today! Last week the total weight of my four pigs was 1840grams and the total gain was 130grams! The weigh in for Saturday the 3rd December: (today)<br />
<br />
**Boys Pad**<br />
<br />
Astro: 850grams (stayed the same) - 21weeks (5m, 1w) - (Astro weighed 850grams last week with a gain of 45grams)<br />
Mika: 575grams (gained 25grams) - 13weeks (3m, 1w) - (Mika weighed 550grams last week with a gain of 25grams)<br />
<br />
**Girls Palace**<br />
<br />
Cherri: 275grams (gained 45grams) - 7weeks (1m, 3w) - (Cherri weighed 230grams last week with a gain of 30grams)<br />
Crumble: 250grams (gained 40grams) - 7weeks (1m, 3w) - (Crumble weighed 210grams last week with a gain of 30grams)<br />
<br />
<br />
This week (3rd December 2011) the total gain over my four piggies is 110grams and the total weight over my four piggies is 1950grams! This week was really good - great gains from the girls! Next week we will be hitting 2 kilograms! Astro staying the same was a bit of a surprise to me at first then after a bit of thought I'm pretty sure that it was because he is getting so big and isn't even half a year old! If he starts to drop every week I'll start to get worried but he may just start getting slightly smaller gains - I really don't know whats going to happen! The girls moved into a HUGE cage (by huge I mean bigger than the boys) and they are getting plenty of running/playing space but are slightly skiddish! I have been spending as much time as I can with them - feeling that I should cherish having them so close while they are so little! I also need to inform you that I will not be doing my blog for four weeks while I will be on holiday. Sunday next week we will be leaving to our destination!RachelsPiggieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988047590547426064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347108502389495769.post-74490722425414276712011-11-25T05:15:00.001-08:002011-11-25T20:48:21.470-08:00Chin - rubsAstro being adorable. I was deciding that because he was such a big boy and because I had so much free time I'd do a really BIG health check up - si I did and Astro was so good I gave him some parsley! Such a cutie... I decided to try him with chin - rubs so I scratched his chin and he was so cute getting his chin - rubbed and enjoys it heaps!<br />

Cherri is sweet but VERY cheeky (causing a LOT of strife trying to find her because she somehow got out the cage then finding her snuggled up alsleep looking very cosy in a cuddle sack! *sigh*) while Crumble is more curious! Any way it is super duper cute!<br />

I have also been noticing some bickering between the boys - Mika and Astro have claimed spaces of there hutch (cage) and there has been Astro purring and pushing up against Mika for some love and to show dominance but Mika nips him on the head! It could be heat stress, Mika trying his luck for dominant male or could be due to us adopting Cherri and Crumble. I give the boys regular health checks and will continue until seeing signs of vicious fighting and blood then I will seperate the boys a.s.a.p!<br />RachelsPiggieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16988047590547426064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347108502389495769.post-65540048338839492142011-11-19T01:09:00.001-08:002011-11-19T01:36:31.101-08:00Bath time + weigh inHere is the weigh in for Saturday the 19 of November:<br />

<br />
**Boys Pad**<br />
<br />
Astro: 775grams (stayed the same) - 18weeks (4m, 2w)<br />
Mika: 460grams (gained 35grams) - 10weeks (2m, 2w)<br />
<br />
**Girls Palace**<br />
<br />
Cherri: 175grams (first weigh in yet) - 4weeks (1m)<br />
Crumble: 155grams (first weigh in yet) - 4weeks (1m)<br />
<br />
<br />
Total piggy weight of 1565grams over four piggies, total gain of 35grams! (including the fist weigh in yets and Astro staying the same) What an exciting week, Cherri and Crumble were welcomed into our home and depending on Astro and Mika's behavour (if they start fighting because they might smell girls) Mika might be moving out! So far so good! I'm not that worried about our girls being a bit under weight because I am guessing they were both born as runts at maybe 50 - 60 grams for Crumble and Cherri! Also their mother had died giving birth so they didn't have the most important milk for around a day, maybe longer then <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4hYdmLPimpCu5aLh6aD48P5XJlAvYwi_kwvI4CpbHqmXenvDJynyIZuSgUcgK2nDXtay0Wc_WDoPNrtTMjRXyP7-icTSuhlbBjcyL4TrRC-EMENLCUx5j1GBV4iWKPtjN6_qS0IJ8X50/s1600/PA151720.JPG">the mother</a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6uARyxwvwqdRegQpQp3ucRYv8Vv68sMKsUG_m6etC0CKbitN9QSidVGLDQTZzEhDRsFmobsqQJXTEYbF4au8lfmC8NqdZXOkwqiC0dHplJFEr5ras6xU6OGdn8802K5KwWULIwOq9xP8/s1600/PA151723.JPG">that was feeding</a> them died so they couldn't get milk until being given to<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukf_A0L_trBl9EewRs23kOkp6zZFoA0JlTcjsuLlj5Q-s_tnkR15mqUMF8bu8ESokS52g3vZDI7imZED3LBblf-MC1Tyhe1DDQjV9rsiwHnSn2GcF7-DJnsuuTuIsJGMGsdR3VH24iL0/s1600/PB121923.JPG"> their mother that is still surviving today</a>, the mother had 11 babies from several different families, (3 more were born today) so it must have been a long queue to get milk! That's my theory any way!<br />

This is Cherri's sister Custard Crumble Pie, lol - we call her Crumble for short! She is sweet like Custard, has the colours of a Crumble and funny like a friends old guinea pig Pie so that's how I got her name! She is so funny and cute! She is so much easier to photograph than her sister! She arrived at our house and will be living with her <a href="http://allguineapiggiesliloves.blogspot.com/2011/11/cherri-berri-blossom.html">sister Cherri</a> in a nice big cage that I can dismantle and make 1-story or 2-story and it was for free in a garage sale so I thought that was a really good deal...<br />

We have a new arrival! Her name is Cherri Berri Blossom but we are just calling her Cherri and her name is supposed to be spelt like that! She is very sweet but is quite cheeky and I nearly called her Cheeky, with adorable red eyes to match her redish tinge in her hazel coat! She arrived at home today with her <a href="http://allguineapiggiesliloves.blogspot.com/2011/11/custard-crumble-pie.html">sister Crumble</a> and did a lot of wheeking before finally settling down and nibbling on their carrot treat I gave to them (aswell as some food mix the boys didn't like... Crumble really liked that food mix... they have a HUGE water bottle but are not in their proper cage right now because the cage needs a clean down, and some touch ups! (The touch ups include a ladder that isn't made yet! :P)<br />
<br />
<br />
[Her now, she is such a cheeky little thing! She didn't stay still for the photo's, mainly because Crumble was wheeking to her A LOT!!!]<br />

Mika has had his haircut! It is rather hard to see the amount of hair he lost on the photo's but let me just tell you, A LOT! The picture of hair on a blanket is barely half of what we cut off him! We got rid of some very annoying matts aswell!<br />

I saw the beautiful girls we're getting on Saturday! They are just the most gorgeous bubs ever!<br />
<br />
Here are pictures of the two we are getting on the day they were born... if only I had photo's now... well they look nearly the same as they did then but are bigger...<br />

I put the last piece in the cage but they didn't eat it! :P<br />

I also put a cool, damp cloth down in their cage to cool them off. (They lie down on it!) When I gave them the water melon Astro was only slightly interested and sniffed it but desided he didn't want it (!) Mika was more on the mild side of being interested and nibbled on the edges, choosing only the one side of the one piece, he quickly got bored and started trying to eat the buttons on my t-shirt to entertain himself so I put both pigs back in their cage. I put the watermelon in their cage as well, hopefully they will eat it during the night... yet when I give Astro parsley he gobbles it up! <br />

[This is of the same guinea pig but older, (can't remember how much older) see how the curls are growing longer and in a much more of a thick mass!]<br />

[This is yet again the same guinea pig, (with a cute girl) and has a bigger, mass. (Yes it is older again but this is more what an adult looks like) The cheeks are growing a fair bit chubbier but that is a major point in the texel, look above to see the already chubby cheeks when he was a bub!] <br />

[And finally, the most major part of a texel, the adults curls. Look at those gorgeous thick strands, and with such a natural pattern. It is so thick and lushes, just from that first pictures of him (his name is Liam) you could see all that lushes thick beautiful curls of baby-hood leading up to these gorgeous curls!]<br />
