New roommates!

Hello!

Hope you've had an amazing weekend so far.
After moving for the hundred time, I now have my own little apartment! The ins and outs of the moving I will touch upon in a later post, for now I want to introduce my new roommates to you.

Just arrived home

After living alone for some months, I got the feeling I was missing something. As a true animal science graduate I needed some sort of creature(s) around me, to feel me.

My first choice was a dog, but with working so many hours and having no garden I felt it wasn’t faire to a dog to be living like that. Rats maybe? I’ve had pet rats for several years, but unfortunately also had a lot of health issues with them. So it was a no for them as well.

So I was on the hunt for a pet that didn’t mind my absence during the day, had not that many health problems and wasn’t too expensive.

Eventually my choice was two little guinea pigs. Or I have to say, they chose me. 
One day I wandered into a pet shop in Zwolle and there they were. Little baby guinea pigs, only 7-9 weeks old and female. I couldn’t help but ask the girl in the pet shop about these cute piggies.

That is how, after a long day shopping, I went home with two lovely piggies, a guinea pig cage, hay and feed etc.

Lap time with some vegetables

I’m horrible at naming my pets, so I asked my colleagues to come up with some ideas. In the end they were named Coco and Chanel. Coco is the dark brown abyssinian, the largest and eldest of the two. Chanel is the short haired piggy with one large rosette on her head.

What kind of pet do you have?

Love,
Roos
