Mummy has written the story of Fred’s Life and put it in the same place as the ones for George and Hugo. In Tales From The Hutch. It’s nice, with lots of pictures. It combines the two pieces she wrote on the RWA forum for him.
Day to day stuff
It’s been a very pleasant few days since my last post. Nothing much happening. Some nice days in the upstairs run, Mummy doing strange things, which we don’t worry about since she does them quite often. Read the rest of this entry
Mariusz Day
Today is Mariusz Day. It commemorates the passing of Lord Mariusz, Ruler of the Known World, Emperor of Castle Hattan, and lifelong friend. Read the rest of this entry
Washing done!
We didn’t go upstairs today as mummy went out. When she came back we still didn’t go upstairs. She brought all the cage furnishings down and put them in the white box at the other end of the kitchen, the noisy one. And she put our vetbed patches for our tents, H&H’s tunnel and our hammock in there too. Read the rest of this entry
Popcorn Paradise
Hello again. It’s been a long time since Mummy let me stay up in the upstairs run. I’ve been busy looking after the youngsters. They were too small to come up. Today she put me up and I showed the boys how to travel by chube. I waited for her to tap it then walked in calmly and waited for her to cover the ends and pick it up. I arrived in the run and checked it out (it was all to my satisfaction of course). Then mummy arrived with Dylan in her arms. When she’d gone down again I asked him why he hadn’t arrived by chube. He said he’d climbed over Mummy’s hand to get out before she could pick it up. Well, I think Mummy was sensible to bring him up in the open in that case. Then Dougall arrived by chube like a good boy. But then he is. Read the rest of this entry
Victor apologises
… for not being with you in person. He is very busy looking after Dylan and Dougall who have grown a lot and have now taken up the game of chasing each other round the cage and through the tunnels then popcorning round to change direction and carrying on the other way. Read the rest of this entry
A Happy New Year to all our fans

Dylan & Dougall seem to grow as you watch them. It may be just the hair, but they are also putting on weight well. They had their back toes done with an emery board today after Dylan scratched my front during his cuddle yesterday. They were both extremely well behaved. Dougall seems a little camera [...]
What is The Sea?
This is the third of Fred’s Think Pieces, or at least the third of those he had started that is easiest to finish on his behalf.
I realise that most piggies will never encounter the Sea. This is a shame as our name in other languages is closely related to our history as ship pigs. ‘Little Sea Pigs’ is what the term translates as in Dutch and in German and a few other languages as well. The Guinea in guinea pig refers to a country on the north coast of South America, and other languages, like French, call us Pigs of the Indies, meaning the West Indies. History books tell us that sailors brought us back to England as pets.
So even if you never see the Sea you should know a little bit about it, and give some Thought to its true nature. Read the rest of this entry

Victor asked me to apologise for being a bit too busy with new boys to come and blog today. He asked me to post the photos of Hec and Humph I took the other day. They are coping quite well with the noises coming from their next door neighbours, and playing very kindly with Vic [...]
