One such game is "Sniff Out The Treats", and it is our absolute new favorite game. Here's how it goes: you, the humans, place a favorite treat in strategic places around the room. Then, let us out of our cage and watch as we forage to sniff out the good stuff! Just be sure that there aren't any hazards in the room, such as cords, wires, or papers. We might nibble at those, too, if they're available.
Why do we love this game so much? We guinea pigs love to forage. It's an intense instinct that we have. There's no sport in finding food in our cages, but when you hide it around the room and let is find it, it's great fun and good exercise.
Today was the first day that the humans played this game with us. We are let out of our cage for about an hour each day to get exercise, and we always use this time to explore and forage for anything on the floor that the humans might have missed. You can't imagine our joy when we manage to find a stray piece of hay under a chair or desk.
So when we were let out to roam today, we we so pleased to discover that the humans had hid four piles of CareFresh Complete guinea pig food around the room!
It didn't take us long to find them all and eat them.
Awwww, that's so cool! :O Maybe I should try that out with my piggies (we are getting girls this week-end!) but I'll hide twiggies: small animal treats flavours: Corrot red beet and lucerne... some hay, some parsley etc.
ReplyDeleteim gonna try that
ReplyDeleteawesome!!!
ReplyDeleteMy piggies are very shy, and they usually just hide. Lil Fuzzy goes under the bed, which makes it a huge pain to get her back out.

ReplyDeleteOur humans can usually bribe us out of our hiding places with more food. :-)
