Meet Jack
Yesterday we were asked if we could adopt a female guinea pig, so we agreed. Today she arrived, only she’s not she, but he! So, meet Jack. He’s 5 months old and very friendly… especially where Rose is concerned! 😉

Meet Caramel
To replace cream we bought Caramel. He’s a lovely little thing and quite a saving on power since we put a generator on the wheel 😉
R.I.P. Cream
Today our “old man” hamster passed away in his sleep. He was lively up to the end, despite being 2½ years old. Longest lived hamster we’ve had so far.
