Introducing Chocolate Chip. He's Sydney's Guinea Pig but we've all gotten to enjoy having him around. Sydney named him that because she thinks he looks like a cookie. He's just a baby so he'll get bigger, possibly twice the size that he is now. We're learning all about how to take care of him and play with him. He likes to get his treats of fresh veggies. The kids enjoy feeding him and watching him eat.
We have made a "play pen" of sorts so that Chocolate Chip can have room to run around and get some exercise each day. He starts to get active around 9pm so I'm glad it's summer and the kids can have time to play with him.
According to the book guinea pigs can be litter box trained. The pet store has mini-litter boxes just for this size pet. We might try that so it would be easier to clean up after him. Dylan wants his own piggy now, which we're considering so that Chocolate Chip would have a friend during all the hours that we are not around. We're checking in to some rescue places.
