My coffee making skills aren't up to much. My letter writing is worse. I hate writing. I never go anywhere near a keyboard if I can help it. Geri - I hadn't thought of picking them up by the scruff of the neck, but I must try it. It sounds interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. RhodesTer - There is no problem letting them loose in the house. I have taken to leaving the open cage at one end of the room and dropping them at the other end with Sandy. They are really fast little animals! They run back into their cage in about two seconds flat. Sandy is getting good exercise too. Welcome to The Manor, 1st Lady! :) They seem to make random noises. No particular pattern. They are very quiet since I got up this morning though. They look so peaceful lying there on their backs with their little paws in the air. Cute!

" Do they go quiet when you are nearby? Do they only whistle when you walk past their cage? Are they shifty eyed? Do the noises start up again when you leave the room? Have you recently misplaced power tools such as drills and chainsaw? If yes, then I'd suggest sleeping with one eye open or just leaving the building. “There is a non-stop cacophony of crashes, clicks, squeaks, whistling, whirring and bubbling noises coming from them. ”

They CAN be amusing if they don't get out. If they DO get out, it's not so amusing to find one in your shoe while trying to put your shoes on.

When my daughter was a kid she entrusted her guinea pig to her grandad and he picked it up by the scruff of its neck (like you do a cat) and all the hair under his hand came out in a great clump! The poor animal had a huge bald patch - and I swear, my daughter never, ever forgave her grandad. Still, you might just get away with it - with a bit of white beard and some glue...

I hope that you and your crew are a tight bunch who look out for each other as for bubble and squeak i think they must be chatting away to themselves to pass the time off day. i have the similier thing going on in work and unlike bubble and squeak they are not cute but more so than annoying. Just remember im just an email away for lots of chats and maybe you can use K8's discount while shes away sigh i miss her so. Hi there
