Astro Cavies

Hi guys,
I'm here writing about the fab show the club had on Sunday! I loved it : )

I would love to say well done to the two winners of the show so well done to Debbie L. (show B) and Andy (show A) : )) Well done to the reserves to Mum (show B) and Andy (show A) and well done to the winner of the marked that beat me: Amy with her cool Daly:)

I am some thrilled that I at last got a very good prize with Dutchie (he has struggled to get a few stars this whole year and didn't do well last year either but now he is looking good. It is kind of good though because Mum knew I really liked guinea pigs all along because it was my sisters that won stuff at shows with their pets not me) :):)

I am looking forward to next year!

Love from Astro Cavies :) :):)

Hi guys, just telling you that one of my black sows have given birth!!

It was very special because it was a week after Belle Man died:(

Last night in the evening Mum when out to check the stud, and when she got to 'Blurred Lines' Cage she saw a big cavy and a small cavy!! :)
I named the little baby Raindrop because she was born on a rainy 'night'.
But there was a small problem - it was that, when I gave Raindrop a cuddle this morning I saw that she had 4 toes on 1 of her back feet!
:( So Mum clipped it off and it did not bleed!:)

And the other thing is a big well done to Debbie L for her sooo cute babies born around the same time as mine:)
Here is a cute photo of Raindrop and a not so cute one of her back foot!

Hi, I'm here writing about the great, great show last weekend.
I had an wonderful time and when I won my second reserve in show it was amazing! It is such a cool trophy and Debbie Martin used to have this one!!

I was very surprised about winning this amazing prize with my Himi who has had some little white hairs on her back feet recently. Now I've taken over Mum's blacks and with her boar 'Out Of The Black' I won the reserve 5-9 Self Black class but nothing else with that cavy. I have some more black U/5s to show next time and maybe a pick of the litter if 'Blurred Lines' my pregnant Black sow gives birth to more than one baby.

Mum got a reserve 5-9 with her white boar 'Stolen Dance.'

My first reserve in show was on the day of my first main show which was with the same Himi as this time, so that proves that Snowdrop ('Namelass') is a great cavy:) (When I won my first trophy Astro Cavies had not joined facebook so that is why there is no post about that).

I was so lucky to get my lovely animals from Lynley and Ally at Uenuku Cavy Stud. And I am lucky Debbie Lawrie told me that Himis would be a nice breed for me to get into. Ever since I got my first cavy 'Dutchie' and before then I liked the look of them and wished that one day I would own one. Now I own three from the Uenuku Cavy Stud and three babies that I bred myself.

Here are some cute photos of this special moment when I got this prize. Andy shook my hand which was funny! All of the people in the Auckland Cavy Club are really kind to me and my family. Thank you!! :)

Hi, I am so excited about the next show!!
At our house we are so busy grooming that guard hairs are flying everywhere! lol!
We are getting really excited, in fact we are so excited that we are dancing round the house dizzy with excitement!

Hi, this is the most exciting message that I have ever sent - I went to feed the cavies yesterday evening and what I saw made me shake with happiness...Beth had given birth!!!!!!!
Beth now has three babies - one boar and two sows (we think). I named the boar Milky Way and one of the sows Silent Night and the other Moonlight.
Check out these super cute photos from last night!
