Well...Rob finally got a young guinea pig or Cavy as they are called in South America.
Fascinating little creatures. Not related to the pig, however they make a sound like a pig when they chirp or "bleat".
Considered a delicacy during the Aztec and Mayan empires, and almost eaten into oblivion...in more modern times they have become popular pets. I also found out that they need a pen in which to run, and get excercise.
Reep, enjoys his times "out", and practically jumps and leaps into the air with glee....
Rob likes to pick Reepacheep up, sometimes he carries him to the Tab...not a good idea since it is below zero weather...hope it does not happen again....after some explanation of why it is not good for it to be outside in this weather.
