I took our guinea pig Cyrano out into the garden so he could run
around in the grass. He loves eating fresh grass blades.
I’m always scared to
leave him out there alone, ever since I read a story about a crow that swooped
down on a poor guinea pig, plucked it up, but couldn’t carry it and
ended up dropping the guinea pig to his death.
So I always cover Cyrano with a spare cage or keep him company
outside.
I thought he would be happy to be in the large open ground
and would run around while I was photographing my new jewelry. But he looked
around and immediately ran back to me, and propped himself up on my foot and
started munching on the grass around it.
This is him in all his splendor. His hair in the photo was
actually just trimmed, it can get twice as long as that in his breed.
