[Gpdd] (MISC) Pig update and electronic guinea Pig

[Rebecca Wilmot]

Hi GPs

I haven't written for a while so I thought I would.

Wilf has recovered from his Mange.

Jimmy is still battling, it looked to be more of a fungal infection due
to the characteristic chunks coming out with skin attached. The vet
tried to grow some on agar but nothing came up which was odd.

Anyway I have to shampoo Jimmy every three days with special shampoo. He
is getting used to his baths now and stretches right out with his legs
splayed behind him. 

Have a look at www.gupiana.com <http://www.gupiana.com/>  it is
excellent. Gupi is an interactive electronic guinea pig! Apparently they
learn where the edge of a surface is so they don't fall off. Real guinea
pigs don't come with this feature and are more like lemmings.

I wonder what my boys would think of Gupi. Especially the recharger
which is made to look like a carrot! Wilf would try to eat it and
electrocute himself!

Speak to you soon

Bec
