[Gpdd] RE:[Misc.] Play House

[SUSAN EASTIN]

Marie-
I like your Sprite House idea - that way you have a green house!  However, as we
don't drink Sprite, the OP's have always had a CocaCola House. As they started
out in a cage and didn't have much room, I cut the 12-can box in half, open on 
both ends, with a window in the back and opening in the front. They had great fun
with this, and I always had a replacement when it got wet or chewed. Sometimes
I had to add a bit of duct tape to hold the end together, but they never bothered
the tape.  This gave them a bit of security, but not so secluded that they wouldn't
come out.  They don't need this now in their condos, but the new little guys have
a little playhouse . . . in that same cage.  
 
Incidentally - these little guys, Hotshot and Buzzz, will climb up on whatever is in 
their cage, then stand up on that and stick their heads through the top of the cage. 
I'll have to watch them, or they'll be climbing out!  As I've mentioned before, these 
guys haven't read the gp books - about guinea pigs not climbing or jumping!  In fact, 
when they're standing up on their hind legs, and I reach down to pet them, they'll try
to climb up my arm! 
But if I pick them up, they're constantly trying to 'go' - along the edge of a table,
across the outside of the condo - they seem to think they can walk on air!  They
will climb around my arm like they were rolling a log, and aren't afraid of anything!
Wheeks to all,
