Animal Husbandry

I got to feed the pigs today. We keep chucking hay in for them to use as bedding and they keep eating it, which reflects something of a lack of forward planning on their part. Good thing they are hardy.

The water in their bottle freezes solid every night. Pig management tip: Keep duplicate water bottles in the kitchen so that you can just swap them for the solid ones each day, rather than spending 10 minutes holding the frozen ones under the hot tap and making yourself late for work.

We used to have 2 guinea pigs. One of them killed the other one and ate its brain.

Ugh. Thanks for sharing those lovely stories.

I never owned them but i'm sure one would have cannibalised the other...

@Nathan. Zombie guinea pig? Terrifying.

Q: What do vegetarian zombies say?

Putting a drop or two of olive oil in the water bottle can stop it from freezing, hope that helps!
