Cashew

Cashew is a guinea pig that we acquired from my "sister" Nancy. She had two and those two had a few and Cashew wasn't too fond of his offspring. So, he came to live with us. We've had him for quite a few months, and he's just a complete lovebug. He loves to be held, he loves carrots and he loves to talk to me when I'm in the kitchen. Anyways, I bought a plastic house for our other guinea pig, but when he died I cleaned it and gave it to Cashew. Well, he's been driving me insane because he chews on it and it makes this horrible noise. Not to mention the fact that I paid like $25 for it and it kills me that he's eating it. So, two weekends ago Norman and I were down in Sacramento and my mom bought Cashew an edible house. It's made of alfalfa and honey and 100% of it is edible. Well, here he was on day one:



He started eating it immediately. But only the roof. By day four, he had eaten all of the grass hanging over the edges... here's a picture of that:



Here is a picture from today:



Pretty soon he will have no roof over his head... It will be a sad day for Cashew.
