Guinea Pig Update || Cocoa and Fudge
10:00 am
Hello Bloggerbeans,
It's been a long while since I've talked about my guinea pigs Fudge and Cocoa on my blog (a whole 2 years in fact) so felt that I would dedicate this post to them as they are now 3 and have grown quite a bit into the sassy piggies they are. With my new snazzy camera which I feel has begun to make my posts feel a little more high quality, I thought I would take a few snapshots of them. I must say in advance this post took a lot of time to do as like the saying goes of 'never work with children or animals' they would not sit still! Out of these edited 3 pictures were thousands of blurry rejects yet we got there with a lot of patience.. and food especially guinea pig chocolate drops. I think these are my most favourite pictures I have taken of them so far and wish I had spent the time taking high quality photos when I first got them as they have grown so much since then however just having them is all that really matters to me as they are very special to me. So Bloggebeans, Say hello to Fudge and Cocoa!
From left to right: Cocoa and Fudge
Fudge is still the dominant one however more recently has started to become a little shy and more of a recluse yet get him on a good day like the photos above and he will stay incredibly still just for you to get the right shot like the poser he is. I gave him his name because of his colouring and looks like the exact colour of clotted cream fudge which I think suites him a lot. With his fur which is more like a main we sometimes call him Dougal from the Magic roundabout as he looks incredibly similar. His favourite food is pepper which leaves him with a red beard of juice dripping from his chin which makes him look like a vampire which is very funny and he used to love to Jump up the stairs until he became a little less mobile due to one of his foot however still liked to pretend he can (with Mumma's help).
Cocoa on the other hand has become so eccentric over the last couple of years and has really come out of his shell. At times he's still shy but on certain days he is even crazier than Fudge! Like Fudge he is very calm and tame and was again named because of his colourings. The picture above really is a complete snapshot of him as even though he would be assumed as the quiet one he is sometimes the most affectionate one who has started to greet me when I come to their cage and is all the willing to be stroked unlike fudge who is more reluctant cage wise unless you get him out. His favourite food is celery and broccoli yet he isn't too keen on the stalk of it and when playtime rolls around goes mental running around at lightening speed trying to play tag which fudge used to play at his speed yet due to his leg is a little slower. When we did have to take fudge to the vets and we came back with him knowing his leg would not be again 100% I think Cocoa could tell as since then has cared for him and knows that Fudge won't be able to run as fast as him like before.
A lot of people say Pets are just Pets however their more than that; they will and always be family. When I first watched Marley and me I couldn't really understand as I have never owned animals before but when I got Fudge and Cocoa I finally understood. They become a part of you and I know that most people say their pets are not the average type of pet however right from the Moment I got Fudge and Cocoa I knew they would never be part of a statistic as they are truly not normal. I really don't think its normal by the amount of things they eat such as most of their bedding which their not supposed to eat along with teaching themselves to jump up the stairs and being so tame that when on the floor jump on and off of my lap whenever they want and come when called. They are truly not normal guinea Pigs and love the weirdness that they possess and wouldn't want them any other way.
