Description: Oreo Blizzard was sponsored senior I took in from Critter Corral Guinea Pig Rescue in IL. Since I once had another guinea pig named Oreo, it was hard for me to call him by the same name. I found myself saying "you're such a good boy" and it stuck. Oreo Blizzard was a real sweetheart. He died of old age on 5-10-09.

His bonded mate, Curly Fry, was the outgoing one of the two, but Oreo was and will always be "such a good boy" to me. He was active and his usual self this morning. He eagerly came to the si… read more

My guinea pigs have as different bathroom habits as their personalities. I know that the amount of food they eat definitely contributes to the number of droppings they produce, but that's not the only difference. Some are tidier than others. I would think that Curly would be very particular about maintaining a neat cage. No way! She is defin… read more
