[QUOTE="slsh, post: 176291, member: 8"] Well, we are all just smitten. Oscar is a sweetie. We took turns holding him last night and he's a real cuddler. Doesn't seem interested too much in the pellet food, but is chowing down on the Timothy hay, carrots, and watermelon. I think he's pretty doggone young, based on YouTube videos. He's small. Diva's dying to start teaching him tricks - who knew you could teach a guinea pig?? We did not get him one of those big balls because I had read on one of the cavy sites that they're bad for pigs' backs and feet. He's got 2 houses (safe to chew on), one in the cage and one out. Got him a small twine ball to play with and a chew toy, plus a big twine ball he can crawl into (a nest). He's also got a cardboard tube to crawl into. He has his towel in the cage. He didn't make a sound all day yesterday until we put him back into his cage last night - then he wheepwheepwheeped. Too cute. I'm a little worried about Elsie and Soda (our 2 younger cats). Elsie is a hunter and when Oscar was out on the floor last night, she was in full prowl mode. I was watching her closely and actually caught her in midair during a pounce attempt. They both just circled the cage last night, sticking paws in. I finally shooed them out of the bedroom and closed the door. I figure eventually they'll figure out that they cannot "play" with Oscar. Figaro, on the other hand, started purring immediately when he saw him (though I have to wonder if his eyesight is gone and he thought it was another cat, LOL). We haven't introduced Angelina the wonder beagle to Oscar yet. She's not the brightest canine in the world and is a little bit like Odie. Oscar might get loved to death. I'm definitely going to have to subscribe to the paper again - who knew such a little thing could "produce" so often!! :rofl: [/QUOTE]
