Just in time for Valentine's~
Happy Valentine's/Friendship Day~~❀ Finally getting off my lazy butt to post something! (Also Flickr cannot read .png files, so lousy.)
We got a new guinea pig. :D A female, because we only have males right now in the house - mainly because we buy for looks and males always look better than females and seem to inherit the Abyssinian (which causes the rosettes in their fur) genes. Also males just have nicer bone structure around the head in general, but I'm digressing.
Anyway, her name is Mochi. She's a brown/white Abyssinian guinea pig, and likely to be paired with Kimchi (grey agouti Abyssinian with roan tips) when she's mature. Right now she's a super cute tiny ball of fluff that fits in one hand, and really fine-boned and delicate. I wish they'll stay this teeny forever... miniature guinea piggies? A breed I really want is the Alpaca guinea pig, which is SUPER adorable like their namesake. It's the closest I can get to actually keeping an alpaca, here in land-scarce Singapore as if farmstock is even legal as pets. They're kind of a rare breed, apparently?
It feels nice to indulge in playing with the pets, after ignoring them throughout last year. *blames exams*
