My family has been waiting for ages for our guinea pigs to have their babies and it happened on Saturday and Sunday. Our first guinea pig named Daisy had her babies on the 9/11/13 8:30am. Daisy had a litter of four but one passed away at birth. Our other guinea pig named Cookie, had her first one on the 9/11/13 7:30pm and she had her second one at 8:00am 10/11/13 but that guinea pig passed away as well. The babies are about the size of a kiwifruit and they are all so cute and different colours. They all weighed different weights. Minti weighed 129 grams and so did Sherbet. Tiger Lily weighed 122 grams. They were all Daisy's babies. Cookies babies were all bigger than Daisy's babies. Fudge weighed 152 grams and the baby that died from Cookie weighed 180 grams. What I find sad it that my mum had to help Cookie with both of her babies so mum had to pull the babies out other wise Cookie could have died. We all can't believe that Fudge is alive because she was nearly dead when she came out but Ruby and I had to rub the baby in a towel and get its heart beating and now Fudge is alive.
After Volleyball on Thursday afternoon, Dad and I were digging in the garden, pruning the tomatoes when we came across a praying mantis home. I know that you might be thinking that it is not that exciting but I found it really exciting because the baby praying mantises were hatching out of their eggs. I looked and saw them and I thought. that is a big egg for so little amount of praying mantis but I looked around the pole and they were EVERYWHERE.
