This
is Jeremy. He's nine months old. He's a short-hair
guinea pig. He is my little devil. He sometimes nips at me,
loves to dump and drag his food bowl around his cage, no
matter how heavy it is, wheeps constantly for timothy hay
and carrots, but he is a little cutie.
I got Jeremy from a pet store. He was the smallest guinea
pig in the cage and all the big piggies were picking on
him...so, I just had to have him so I could give him a good
home.
From the beginning he was a very vocal piggie. He could
(and still can) hear me coming up the stairs and I am
greeted to loud wheeps of joy. I'd like to think it was
because he was excited to see me...but I think it's the
fact that he knows he's going to get food...and if I don't
come to his cage first, he stands in the corner and chews
on the bars to let me know he's hungry! His favorite foods
are romaine lettuce, celery or dandelion leaves and apple.
He also loves timothy hay and his pellets. Lately his big
trick is to dump his food bowl all over the floor. I have
tried using a bigger crock bowl...but boy is he strong! He
just puts his foot on the side of the bowl and over it
goes!
As you can see from his picture, he loves to play! The
farmhouse is a special place for him. When he's tired of
running around the play area, he just sits in there to
rest. He knows when he's out of his cage, it's treat time
and he is very good at standing up and begging, which is
very cute...a true Kodak moment! He loves to be held and
combed. He just stretches out on his side and puts his head
under my chin and sometimes even goes to sleep. Jeremy is
quite a character and very, very special to me.
