Let the updates begin ...

When? I want to know. It's been ages. Hellllooo! Wheek!
[Lots of updates this time around; working down the list –
1. Everyone visited the Cavy Spa for baths, nail trims, and hair trims as needed.
2. Kylie's weight has returned to normal. Yeah!
3. The three males (who still have no names except for the young one who is now Tyler) were moved from their quarantine cage to the shelving unit. They stayed there a week and then their cage was expanded so that it is now 2' x 8'.
4. Bella shut down again; the third time in about two months. The vet does not know what is wrong (tests were run).
5. I modified a couple of sleeping cocoons so that they were tunnels, which is a favorite around here. A couple more tunnels/sleeping pads were created out of cat pads. Since I’m tired of folding fleece I decided to make some cage pads and small pads. Still lots more to make if I don’t use the fleece.
6. Willie got into mischief again. This time he jumped on top of the cloth that was over part of Bella's pen and he went right through it!
7. Charlie has been doing his best to keep up with Suki’s cross-county track exercises. He has even included her twists, circles, and figure eights. However, he has opted out of the high jump. He’ll let her have the roof of the house.
8. Capycoppy arrived and was greeted by Molly and Willie (cats). They were not too thrilled with his arrival and kept knocking him over. Undaunted, Capycoppy went to work to check out his Shadow. All systems are go for the next race.
9. Some of the guinea pigs have been using the new slipper bed and tunnel bed made by Pinoy PetCuddle Cup. They love them!
10. One of the two TSW Peruvian males who had been living with a rabbit has a possible UTI. He is receiving an antibiotic to see if that will eliminate the pink urine.
11. Kylie’s lookalike arrived this past week. She had been living with 15-pound rabbits and chickens in an outdoor aviary. Emma’s been gaining weight so the rabbits may have been eating her food or keeping her from it.
12. GuineaPigSqueakSqueak made a cute Christmas card from my Facebook avatar photo. Thank you. You do nice work!
13. I tried to bond Emma with Kylie today and that did not work out at all. (12th attempt at bonding Kylie; only one worked and she was still stressed so he was placed.) Next I tried Emma with Dolly and Kira and then Charlie. None of the parings worked out.]
