Why 'Nutmeg and Pepper'?


Nutmeg and Pepper are the names of my guinea pigs.
I created this blog about my guinea pigs, and my experiences and tips for other owners. I have discovered that direct info from owners is by far the most helpful. So I am writing to all the guinea pig owners who have had the same frustration with inadequate sources. Here may be some answers to your troubles!

Chewing Plastic + Solution

My guinea pigs chew on everything. Even their plastic pigloo. So I got them a SnakShak toy. YAY! Now they are chewing on something that if they swallow it they can digest it safely. This is defintiely better than plastic. My guinea pigs are reluctant to chew wood so the SnakShak has been my savior.
The SnakShak is made primarily of compressed wood shavings, which guinea pigs tend to nibble on in their cage anyways.

Guinea Pigs are Cuter than Chinchillas

Actually it's hard to say which is cuter... But many piggies I've seen are cuter than chinchillas. MINE ARE!

Re-Invented Digs

My guinea pigs get bored of the cage set up every one in a while, so I mix it up a little. Yesterday I hooked some tunnels together and suspended them from the top of the cage. Nutmeg loves it. I will post pictures of this soon.

My piggies's new thing

Nutmeg and Pepper go through little phases when they like to do a certain thing repetetively. Their new thing is to put there stuff in their food bowl. I found various treats and often toys sitting in their bowl for no apparent reason. Haha. They are always amusing me with their strange little quirks.
