This past year we put our adorable guinea pig speedy outside in his enclosure for some fresh air and grass. He liked it so much that he escaped the little fence and hid himself in our backyard.
As you can imagine, by his name, he is quite the fast little critter. All attempts to catch him and put him back in his cage failed (lucky for him.) We began leaving him food and he is now our permanent ferrel pet. When I'm outside hanging laundry to dry he comes near me and watches me, making the most adorable squeaking noises. He's probably hoping I have a carrot hidden amongst the wet clothes.
He eats quite well out there. Apricots seem to be a treat, as well as all of the strawberries that the snails took first dibs on, plus he gets all of our vegetable scraps from dinner preparation. What a happy critter! If only life could be so easy for all of us.
