Does your daughter know? How does one interact with a critter that size? Intelligence wise are they comparable to other domesticated animals? Can you cuddle with those lil' pigs? Did you & OP ever discuss the merits of guinea pigs? Oops, that might have been hamsters now that I think of it.
You should probably be out back playing "air" taps.
Farewell, Snowball.
Air taps! Haha!
Snowball is about 6 inches under now with a little cross on his grave. God will be happy. Good thing my dog isn't a digger. My daughter knows. She was a little sad but they had mostly stopped playing with the pigs a year or so ago. I don't know if it's true for all guinea pigs but ours didn't really snuggle, they just froze in terror when held just waiting until they would get put back in their cage. I remember one morning I found Rambo sitting on our guestroom bed. My daughter had put him there the night before and he pretty much hadn't moved an inch all night.
Hamsters are nasty little fuckers. They bite! We had a hamster from hell before we traded up to the two guinea pigs.
