thank you Dev!
Oh, btw, we had to seperate Caramel and Rainbow last night.
Caramel (male guinea pig) is much more outgoing than Rainbow (female guinea pig) so we put their cages side by side, in the hopes that Caramel's activity would help bring Rainbow out of her shell a bit.
Well, we don't know if Caramel was angry and feeling threatened that another guinea pig was in his "space" or if she got him all hot and bothered, but he was going nuts.....squealing, chattering, jumping about, standing up on his hind legs to look at her, and it was just toooo much.
We moved him to one side of the table, placed her on the other, put one of the hamsters between them, and now he seems to have calmed down.
I never heard so much racket before.
