Gimme Teh Cucumber!
2007-08-17 20:20:47
  [via Flickr] I’m starting to understand why Latte will never look like them. No one else to fight for the cucumber. Now, I haven’t tried if he likes it. You may want to read these too.No related posts

Messy Cage
2007-08-14 18:05:28
Latte decided to topple over his hiding place. I don’t know how but he managed to do it. Clever pig, huh? See what he did? Can you see him? No. He was hiding. Where? Here. He was very comfortably settled under the newspapers too. That deed was done just after I had changed the newspapers and cleaned the cage too. Bad guinea pig! Bad, bad, bad!

Picky Eater
2007-08-02 04:32:38
It’s not the first time I’ve been talking about Latte being such a picky eater. Just like his owner. When leafy hay was added, he was very happy and started munching them. How the heck do I buy new leafy hay if he keeps avoiding the stalk-y hay like plaque? Someone, please tell me what to do.

Talk to Me!
2007-07-11 21:33:00
Now that Latte’s been with us quite a while, he’s starting to regconise who feeds him and who scares him. Apparently, he’s afraid of my dad. The loud opening and locking of the doors, who doesn’t? Whenever I pass by the cage, Latte will wheek out loud. Nice. I’ll chat with him and he’ll respond with nods and shakes. He’s happy whenever my sister arrives home too because his hiding place will be cleared of poo. He’s still running away whenever I’m trying to stroke him despite him calling for my attention. Ironic, huh? You may want to read these too.No related posts


Guinea Pig Care
2007-06-30 22:13:00
Time to provide some notes on taking care of guinea pigs. Here is a list of things on providing care such as questions on how to handle guinea pigs and asking yourself if you are the right person to own one. Guinea pigs are social animals and will need daily interaction. That I’m trying spend half an hour with Latte everyday. If you have the space, let the cavy run around the house with some supervision. Electric cables and other things that can be nibbled upon must be kept away from the floors. You don’t want to harm them in any way. Guinea pigs don’t smell (generally) unless you don’t clean the cage regularly. I’ve to clean the cage soon. I don’t want any smell other than the hay I’m giving daily. Here are the steps to clean the cage. The advantage of using grids and coroplasts is that it is easy to clean. Be aware that some people may have allergies due to the allergen existing in the urine in the bedding. When the guinea pig scurries around


Reponding to Questions
2007-06-24 07:45:00
Latte’s been choosy about his hay. He refused to touch those stick thin hay that is hard. Picky eater. The new hay does not get less during the day when usually, he would finish all or nearly all when I reach home. Is he hinting something to me? Get hay with more leaves instead of stalk? Toilet training is difficult. Although he is responding to questions that we ask him, like “Are you Latte?” He would nod. “Do you want to drink?” He nodded. Other times, he would shake his head when we told him to be more obedient. Bad pig. He loves being talked to and would respond if he felt like it. Bad pig. Otherwise, he loves the small house that I made for him. His favourite safe and hiding place. Shall have to change a new one when the coroplast is too smelly.

Stressed by Roach
2007-06-18 02:51:00
Latte’s not eating hay as much as he usually would. I found out why when cleaning his cage. He was stressed out by baby cockroaches. Ew! I found a dead one in his litter box under his hay rack. No wonder the hay that was put up in the morning was reduced by very little in the evening. There was another live baby cockroach that was in his usual hiding box. When the roach was caught and thrown away, he popcorned in the box a lot. Thank goodness it wasn’t me who found it. I would have freaked out. Screamed the house down even. Looks like I have to check his cage more often. Maybe clean it more for the next few days to see how. Ants can be seen but it doesn’t bother him that much.

Uninterested in New Food
2007-06-10 02:27:00
I added a small slice of carrot and orange for Latte. He spurned them, turning away, as if he was still angry by the noise made by the kids. Not my fault since they haven’t been coming to my place for a long time since they started studying. My parents missed them because my mum had looked after the eldest for a long time. I placed both into the small bowl and hoped that he would try them. I’m starting to feel that he’s a picky eater. He spurned the apple that I placed a second time. I guess he’ll need a buddy who loves to try new food to spurn him into eating all sorts of food. However, I’m afraid that I won’t have the space to enlarge the cage space. I placed some old T-shirts as new bedding to absorb his pee. It’s not much but better than the newspaper being soaked. Photos would be lacking for a while here till I get a new camera.

Sad Latte
2007-09-30 20:20:36
Latte seems pretty quiet for the past 2 days. I think he senses that I won’t be seeing him for the next 5 days. Poor piggy, I’m sorry, I wish that I can’t bring you along but I can’t. It’s more comfortable for you at home rather than flying. When I get my own personal jet, I’ll bring you along to those places I will be going. Stay strong, Latte. I’ll be thinking of you. © WishBoNe for Guinea Chronicles, 2007. | Permalink | No comment Add to del.icio.us This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License.

Grooming Guinea Pigs
2008-01-14 08:35:21
Guinea pigs need grooming from time to time and Latte is one who needs a little brushing from time to time too. The only time I have brushed his fur is when he’s busy gobbling up his pellets. That’s when he won’t run to hide under the hay rack. I have bought a brush to help [...]

R.I.P. Latte Combo

After a long fight in attempts to save him, Latte has finally decided to join his comrades in GP Heaven. He was lying on his side when I reached home as if he was waiting for me so that I could see him one last time. I’m glad that I saw him one last time. Since [...]

Shrunken Guinea Pig
2008-07-01 20:34:05
Image by Keren_ via Flickr Latte hasn’t been eating or being vocal for quite a number of days. Today, he is totally not reacting to anything and refuses to eat or drink. He attempted to struggle upon being picked up so that he could be brought to the vet for a check. Fur loss is discovered [...]


Ashes of Latte Returned
2008-07-27 07:25:21
I sent for Latte to be cremated at Pets Cremation Center. They opens 24 hours and send someone over as soon as possible to get your beloved pet to be cremated. They are sensitive to the lost and will state the procedures as clear as possible. They even provided a postcard after the cremation (not [...]
