Guinea Pig Snack Mix | How To

Hey everyone!

Today's blog post is about my Guinea Pig Snack Mix.

I am the proud owner of three boar Cavies*. Sam, Dean and Harry.

Harry
They are such a fun and easy pet to have, yet it seams that there are a million different kinds of feed available for them. After being a Cavy owner for most of my life (since I was 8) I have found through trial and error what kind of food they like and dislike. Now there is a pre mixed feed by DuMOR that is great and would recommend to any Piggy owner. It's sold and manufactured by Tractor Supply Co.

I like to DIY mix the treats to make sure everything is extra fresh and portion controlled. 

They have Timothy/Grass hay mix provided 24/7 and get pelleted feed once daily. They also get fresh fruit and veggies throughout the week.






Now this mix is a treat by every sense of the word and is only fed once a week. It has Black Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Banana Chips, and other dried mixed fruits. They really enjoy it. I give the Brothers one scoop** to share and Harry gets half a scoop. 

Dean <3

Do you make any treats for your pets? Let me know if you give this a try and if they like. Remember it's a treat and meant to be feed rarely.

* Cavy/Cavies is the name used by the ACBA.
**The scoop is 1/8 of a cup.

I Used To Groom Dogs

Hey Everyone! So as you may or may not know I am an avid animal lover but my personal faves are dogs. I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I wanted stuffed puppies before ever wanting a baby doll to play with and The Littlest Pet Shop was the shit. I was in 4-H for 5 years with dogs, even briefly trained dogs. Dog shows are my sporting events of choice. I rescued dogs for many years but purebreds will always have my heart. I started grooming dogs in 2004 when I was 18. I loved it, getting to be around dogs all day meeting new breeds and making the dogs (and owners) feel good. In April of 2016 I was able to move my little home run shop into a rental space in the heart of downtown. I was so excited. I though this is it. I'm doing the thing I've always wanted to do. But it seams that happiness for me is only a fleeting notion because my body can no longer cope with the demands of my job. Long story, an MRI and a couple of months of physical therapy, short I g...

November Favorites 2014

It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave...

Dogs.

Hey everyone! I am a self proclaimed Dog Snob. I love dogs and the sport of showing dogs. Anything involved with dogs, I love. Now I say Snob because I prefer purebreds. Mutts are great, I have several but my heart is pedigreed. This is also why I love being a pet groomer, getting to be hands on with so many different breeds and making them look as close as I can to their breed type is a thrill for me. I have always wanted to breed/show purebred dogs. Westminster is like the Super Bowl for me, I love reading about animal genetics, and raising puppies. But getting a breeder of quality dogs to give a virtual 'noobie' like me a puppy in the my chosen breed is nearly impossible. Now my breed of choice is the Poodle. Big or small I love them all but trying to find a healthy, well bred companion Toy Poodle is nearly impossible, almost as impossible as getting one from a show breeder. I was heavily involved with animal rescue for many years and I will always lend a hand to a d...
