Guide Of What You Need For A: Guinea Pig!

 Hello, Leafy Kitten Coco here! Are you a guinea-pig lover, and want a guinea pig SO badly, and your parents finally said yes? Or are you just looking for a companion in the adventures of life? Maybe you're parents agreed that you finally are old enough, and you should learn some responsibility, and that's why you were researching how to take care of a guinea pig? 

Regardless of the reason, you should get a guinea pig. And if you don't have one, but REALLY REALLY REALLY want one, first let me tell you how to convince your parents. It's easy!


Step 1: 

Casually bring up the subject of a guinea pig while you are eating dinner or something. Say something like, 'Mom? Dad? I was thinking, since I'm so mature and responsible, I could get a pet? I could take care of it! You wouldn't even have to do a thing!' If you already have a pet, and if your parents are like 'You already have a pet. Why can't you just work with [insert pet's name here]?' If you only have one pet, say this: 'Well, [insert pet's name here] is lonely, for sure. So [insert pet's gender here] probably wants a friend!' But if you have more then one pet, say this: 'I know a lot of facts on guinea pigs. And, they can have little meetings!' If your parents still say no, proceed to the following step.

Step 2: 

If one of you have a fur allergy, make a designated space meant for the pig that no one else is allowed to come in except you and the pig. They say yes now, I bet, so proceed to the next step.

Step 3: (CRITACAL⚠): DON'T BUG THEM ABOUT IT!

Do NOT bug them about getting you a guinea pig! That is part of being responsible! 

THE STUFF GUIDE:

Before taking home your prized pet, buy these things. 

A CAGE! Make it at least two feet wide by four feet long for each guinea piggy. 


TWO CERAMIC WATER & FOOD BOWLS! You may have heard people using a water bottle, but in my opinion, the good stuff doesn't get to the guinea pigs fast enough. 

WOOD SHAVINGS! ASPEN WOOD SHAVINGS!

HAY FEEDER! 

Hey! Hay is 80% of a guinea pigs diet! 

PELLETS!

Put these bad boys into a guinea pig's food bowl, and you'll be good as golden!

TREATS!

Everyone needs a sweet treat every now and then. Feed them a treaty every week. Treats include blueberries, etc. Learn more here: 

Okay, I think your all set. No, WAIT! You need chew toys and hidey houses! :) 


Make sure the wood for the chew toys are safe for guinea pigs. 

Set up everything, then buy a guinea pig! 

OH WAIT! 

I can't list everything. But here is a great guide to everything your going to need!


CARE GUIDE:

FIRST!

Clean your cage very well. With water, no soap. Just to be safe! 

Put the guinea pig in. 

DONE!

Welcome

Welcome to my blog!  Here you can see my stories and my animations. I post about one story a week. Otherwise I'm reading books or doing art or enjoying nature.   I enjoy food a lot.  My favorite dessert is ice cream or desserts with ice cream. My favorite vegetable is fried broccoli. I prefer chicken over other types of meat. I do not like anchovies. I'm pretty sure I want a tortoiseshell kitten/ocicat. They are SO cute!  If you think that dogs are better then cats, I make a friendly disagreement with you.  I have a lot   of things I want to be when I grow up. Well, firefighter & police girl are ruled out because fire fighter. And really, I am sweating over 70. And really? I will not be chasing bad guys over my summer vacation. I think I will be a teacher, maybe, or a biologist.  Well, that's the end of my blog. See you on my next post!

Warrior Cats Question: How did Silverstream die?

- How did Silverstream die? Some of us may not know who Silverstream was. She was a RiverClan warrior under Crookedstar (her father)'s leadership. She was a silver and black tabby she-cat with beautiful blue eyes. She mated with Graystripe, Fireheart's friend. But since Graystripe lived in ThunderClan and Silverstream lived in RiverClan, they couldn' possible be mates. Or could they? But Graystripe was naughty, so he mated with Silverstream anyway. Silverstream probably had kits on ThunderClan territory. Why? Well, first of all RiverClan wouldn't allow two ThunderClan cats on RiverClan territory. And ThunderClan would probably except Silverstream  if two ThunderClan warriors were in there.  Anyway, onwards!! So, Silverstream kitted Featherkit and Stormkit (warrior names Feathertail and Stormfur). She lost to much blood, and before Cinderpelt could reach her, was dead. But let's peer in more closely. *peers in* Mapleshade was the cause of our lovely Silverstream'...

Book Review: Geronimo Stilton: Run For The Hills, Geronimo!

 Hello, my name is Jaya! Today I'm going to be reviewing the famouse series, Geronimo Stilton!  What Is Geronimo Stilton? Geronimo is a mouse. He is the publisher of The Rodent's Gazette,  and has a sister named Thea. Honestly, he's pretty shy. Nervous at times, too. His sister, Thea, is the complete opposite. Brave, daring. All you could imagine. He has a cousin named Trap, who knows all the tricks in the book! He loves scaring Geronimo, and thinks he is an excellent cook, while in reality, it disgusts us all! I guess since you're a mouse, you have different words. Famous is famouse, fabulous is fabamouse, etc.  They're truly wonderful books! Anyways, let's get into this review! The Review First Quarter: So, after about the first twenty-five pages, we find out that Geronimo's flying agent, Ms. Sweetpaws, books him a trip, on a first-class flight to Black Hill in South Dakota, his sister Thea cancels it and replaces it with the worst class flight. All his fa...
