Guineapig toys.

i have two guinea-pigs as previously mentions, and on the 14th of jan it was their birthday, for which i got them a 6ft x 6ft run with a top on, previously had a smaller topless run however after a cat incident they didn't go in it as much as i would have liked.  anyway, i was looking for hide-houses for them for their hutch in various pet websites and found them all over £10 which i thought was a tad expensive so i have made my own hide house. total cost? £3

so its a basic basket from duluen mill. 

 take out the fabric

 and cut a hole that is guineapig size

 make sure there is no sharp edges.

 and its defiantly a fave with fudge! straight in it and has been camped out in there since, biscuit hasn't had a look in. 

not sure how long it will last  compared to shop ones but they love it so far, the top if flat so makes a great place for them to climb onto.  and its now under neath their hay rack!  on the look out for other things to use for them now!

Commisions

I recently had my first ever commission to make crochet items well, i was asked if i could make guinea-pigs somehow, to which i said i do crocheted guinea-pig brooches.  this is something i had always wanted to get around to doing for myself

as i have two guinea-pigs called fudge and biscuit!  pictures of this little project will be coming after Christmas as i know they were bought as Christmas presents. but in the mean time does anyone know of any crafts that i could do for the pigs, eg a pattern from a guinea-pig bed ect?
