Dusty and Brownie Visit Class 1

,

Cora’s guinea pigs visited Class 1 today.

They are really cute, they are the nbest pets in the world, I love cuddling them every time after school, Dusty is mine and I really love when Brownie is squeaking – Cora

We learnt that they like to eat hay and raw vegetables and only nap for 20 minutes at a time.

They are only 12 weeks old so are not fully grown yet. They will be adults at 2 years old and will live for 5 years.

They eat some cucumber and some carrot and maybe some cabbage, they sleep on hay – Elliott

They live in a hutch and have sensitive ears, which meant we all had to be quiet so we didn’t scare them.

One was naughty because he was running away, we cant touch their ears – Talia

Cora told us that Brownie is the naughty guinea pig because he like to escape out of his hutch and hide. He has escaped twice and hid underneath the his hutch and the TV cabinet and refused to come out.

They were soft and we stroked them – Albie

Class 1 would like to thank Cora and Mrs Kemp for sharing these very cute pets with us.
