So here is a video of our two guinea pigs in their brand new cage that we built them. The girls were responsible for building the girl cage, and the boys were responsible for building the boy cage. It was very interesting how the groups built their cage. There was definitely a different way of thinking between the boys and the girls! We used the opportunity to teach about perimeter. Studies show that students do better when they can relate a concept to something personal. It worked pretty well I think!
Right now our guinea pigs are in the same cage as Chloe is expecting (we're pretty sure-3 weeks today), but they will soon be separated.
This video is of when they are first put in their new cage. The behavior they are exhibiting is called popcorning. The guinea pigs pop like hot corn kernals, a sign that they are happy.
Enjoy
