Munster is such a cute little one. It looks like he's growing well.

Suze, he's a really good eater, the only thing he's not too keen on is chard..... Leaves it until last, but finally gets the better of him! Hi Emma, yup, nice steady weight gain, up to 83 grams now, up 6 grams on previous month.

Munster looks in great shape to me Mark. Nice tongue!
Chard isn't ideal so don't stress if Munster isn't keen.

Munster is so lovely. Nice photograph. I love it when they are so relaxed their back legs just fall away. My lot don't touch chard either. lucky for me the cavies do ! CB

Bertie and Beatrice doing well, although Bertie deciding to sleep a bit more, which he does every year at this time. I may extend their hibernation next year. I was so worried with the warm temperatures this year and as they woke up at 8 weeks got them going. Now they are 8 I will try and let it all occur a bit more naturally, next winter, just increasing my confidence every year.

Glad to hear they are all fine Jan. I'm not going to hibernate Munster for a few years yet, I'll be worried sick about it.
