Chick eating egg eating snakes are Camp's specialty.
I think they are just rat snakes.
Rat snakes, like Kiki said.
Some are pretty close! I have three (2 roos, 1 pullet) of splits and three (2 roos, 1 pullet) of the isabels. Going to try to eat the roos, just like I always say.
Soon
I think the 21 & 22 for staff then the kids come on the 23. I think open house is on the 21? Oh!
They were in a 3x5 c&c cage in my room but they have been bugging my allergies so they are in the finished basement now. Stella is in a wire cage because she has a chewing problem and the boys are in a giant storage tote. Easy cleaning. I can just dump em and refill them.

Did you know you can free range guinea pigs? They tend to stay close to their nighttime home and respect fences/barriers pretty well. Good eating too. Just some thoughts.Morning y'all. I've been a busy bee. I completely cleaned out all 3 chicken coops. New bedding and new nest box material. Along with all the normal chicken chores.
I'm taking a short break then I need to clean these guinea pigs out. I think these smell worse than ducks3 is too many.
Clabbering up to rain I think. Sticky out there, wind picking up, clouds are dark. Got some gardening done, fresh loads of grass and garden scraps in for the biddies. Feed store run soon. Guess I'll do indoor things for a bit.
I thought they look similar to the "chicken" snakes in TN.
Yeah, i had a free range guinea pig. He lived in the raspberry thicket. I would make guinea pig noise and he would come running . Cute guy. Can't imagine they would have much meat on them.
But if you make a wire bottom cage, no bedding required. Clean up under cage when you get time. They are amazingly tolerant of cold temperatures if they can shelter from wind. I have seen them kept outdoors in Canada.Soon
Oh!
When I had Lily I'd let her loose while I was cleaning her cage. She attacked a cat... the 3 I have now aren't nearly as nice or smart.
I can't keep weight on 2/3. They eat a ton. Always have pellets and hay. And fresh veggies several times a week. But they are so active!
Aww!
I thought about putting them in the silkie coop...

Best not to keep guinea pigs on wire. Not good for their feet.
Where do I get my energy? I drink a pot of coffee in the mornings to get revved. Then a splash of wine with lots of soda to wash down the ibuprofen. Iced tea by the pitcher with lemon. More wine spritzer or homemade sangria with fruit juice. I eat two small meals and one huge one a day (lunch is usually big). Nap in the heat, which we call "siesta" around here. Up before the sun, bed usually around 11. I'm not nearly as productive as I was, but then I'm pushing 60 now too. I ran distance in school, like miles and marathon distance. Stamina, not speed is my thing.
