We all love showing off our pets. There was an air of excitement today as the children arranged themselves in a circle, in preparation for viewing Caitlin's pet guinea pigs. These little creatures were truly delightful! They all came from the same litter so they were brothers. I was amazed to see that they were all the same beautiful colour. These guinea pigs were so posh - they were shampooed and groomed last night! Although we did not take them out of their pet carrier, everyone was able to look closely at them. We looked carefully at their features and compared them to the little kittens who visited our classroom last week. After they were returned home, we read two non-fiction books to give us some facts. Here are some of the interesting facts which the children wrote....................Guinea pigs have little ears which flop over.
Guinea pigs have their eyes on the side of their head.
Guinea pigs eat and eat - lots of vegetables.
Guinea pigs have no tails.
Guinea pigs live in a hutch.
Guinea pig babies drink milk from their mother.
Guinea pigs have bright, beady eyes.
Guinea pigs can have pink, brown or black eyes.
