~Choc Does His First Trick~

OMG!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!

Chocolate is so smart!!! lol!!!

i was watching some videos on how to train gp to do tricks.. and decided to teach him how to make a circle... i started training him yesterday... but it seemed that he was already quite full and hence not responding well to the carrot treat...

So i tried again this morning..and within 10mins, he made his first circle!!~ lol...

He must be really smart as he is only 3 weeks old... and he seems to respond to phrases like "Come" and "Good Boy" too...

Also, for the first time, Chocolate made his purring sound, like a cat, when i petted him up and down his spine, rubbing the fingers into the fur....then he started yawning and laid his head on my lap too!!~ so cute!!! i learnt how to pet a gp correctly on youtube too!

Well, I've been living with cats for very long time, and cats don't like to be stroked like this..you'll probably get scratched... cats like the usual one way stroking, from the head to the tail.

No wonder when i apply this way of stroking on Choc, he didn't purr...lol...

Oh, when a gp purrs when you are petting him, it means that he is enjoying it...

But i didn't get to film it down.. maybe next time... but if you wan to know what sounds that a gp makes, visit this wonderful website!

Lastly, watch this video of Choc, doing his first trick, Do A Circle!!!

Note: GPs are very afraid of loud noises, so i had to talk like that...

Give him a round of encouragement applause!!~ **Clap Clap!!** LOL....

~New Living Space for Choc~

Chocolate's new decorated living space...







I bought a wooden house, a large gnawing stone and a ball with a bell for Chocolate last week from the "House of Chinchillas".



When Choc first saw the house, he kept doing his popcorn repeatedly as i arrange his living space..



Popcorn : a small jump into the air like a popping corn when the GP is very happy/high sprited



Now, Chocolate will spend most of his time in his house hiding.. (Guinea pigs are very timid animals) and is very reluctant to leave his house even though i reached my hands in and tried to push him out.. lol... and he doesn't seem to know how to play with the bell yet... =/



What other stuff does a GP will play with? If you have suggestions, pls provide me with some. =)







Here's Chocolate enjoying his morning Alfafa Hay breakfast...



New house and gnawing stone...




------------------------------------------------------

Every morning, when i change the soiled newspapers, Choc will do his popcorn too...watch his jump!






Also, when Choc hears the rustling of a plastic bag, he will make the "Wheet Wheet" noise to say that he is hungry...LOL....
