Hi Suzanne,

We have grown rye grass in pots for our piggies on occasion during the
winter.  Hubby would buy a small bag of seeds from our Agway.

I buy the flannel covered waterproof pads meant for babies to put under my
piggies during lap time. You can find them in the baby department in any
store.  Also, old waterproof mattress pads can be cut up to a smaller size
for the same purpose.  They wash very easily in your washer.

Hope this helps.

Dee

Hi,

I am new to the digest and guineas,  but I have been having a good read for
the past month!

1. Sprouting Seeds
Has anyone tried sprouting seeds for their guineas? Being full of nutrients,
they seem such a good idea. I haven't tried any food with my two girlies,
Nellie & Doris that I haven't seen recommended on at least a few guinea
websites, so I just wondered if any of you had given them a try?

2. Excretion
Nellie & Doris poo and pee like it is an Olympic event! They seem to be a
little bit less likely to go if they have just had a snooze, but I think
that I am going to have to buy a washer dryer! I would very much like them
to have free range time, but I need to solve the pee problem (poops are
generally ok to clean). If I put a double layer of towels on my lap, the pee
manages to go through this! Please can anyone let me know if they have/had a
similar problem and any handy hints - I don't watch over them like a hawk -
I want them to explore their 'safe' area and relax. (They are both about
two, but I have had them for just over a month).


Thanks,
Suzanne & John and the two girlies (Nellie & Doris)
