Oathall are excited to announce that four guinea pigs – each only 15 weeks old – have been introduced to the Farm, and are reported to be settling in nicely.
-
- Willow with Bailey
-
- Seema with Jessie
-
- Annabel with Daisy
-
- Akira with Oreo
The herd includes one albino (Bailey), one with all-white colouring (Daisy), another jet back (Orio) and a black and white mix with a touch of ginger (Jessie).
They are pictured here with Year 10 students – Willow, Annabel, Seema and Akira – who are working towards gaining their Animal Care BTEC qualification next year.
The two adults – Tigger and Bean – have certainly welcomed them into the fold, and appear pleased to have the company and have been active in their preening.
As the new guinea pigs are still settling in, we are keeping their interactions quite small at the moment. Students who take part in Farm Club and Animal Care will be able to meet them, and in time classes and tutors will be able to book a slot to come down and see them under supervision.
Senior Farm Technician, Clara Farmer
