Buttons bad fur day

Buttons after her bath!

Sometimes when our guinea pigs get mites or their fur gets a bit to long and yellow (  :(   ) we give them bath. The other day me and Abbi gave Buttons and Percy a bath because percy had a bit of mites and the long furred Buttons had quite yellow fur around her rear end.... and your probably wondering, do they actauly LIKE baths? Well I'll tell you one thing, Buttons hates it. But wherether she liked it or not, she had to get those dags of! So we fill the bath room sink, get them a bit wet,( ok- alot wet) put some ' Fido's Friend Bunny Bath' on them, wash it out and sprinkle some mite powder on them and cut of the yucky bits in Buttons fur. After drying Buttons of with a towl, she looked like a little black and white ball of fluff!!!

 And what Buttons normally looks like.

And after eating all of those carrots Spring has been getting, I think she is destined for the bath room sink as well! :)

Mouse party!!!

 Today two of our mice, Mini and Squeak (they are in photo 2), turned 2!!!!! Me and Abbi decided to make them a cake, some ice creams, and a pizza for their dinner. And they love it!
 Here is the recipe for the cake we made....

Mousey birthday cake!

  

You will need...


the bottom of a plastic bottle
three tea spoons of crushed weetbix
1 1/2 teaspoon of water
one tablespoon of your moues's food (or seeds that are mouse friendly)
one teaspoon of oats
for the topping...

one tablespoon of raspberry jam
one teaspoon of icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon of warm water
and your mouse's favourite treat

First mix the crushed weetbix with one teaspoon of your water until it is a good thick paste and put into the bottle.Then get your seeds, oats, and the rest of the water and mix then spread over the weetbix. put in the freezer for about half an hour or until the weetbix is hard. For the topping mix everything except the treats together to make a sort of runny icing, put on the cake, sprinkle the treats over the top, and you have a cake for your mouse!!
