or posing for passing photographers
and there's a new rabbit in town, whose name I couldn't find out, but a handsome one indeed (I've since found out this rabbit is called Thumper):
After walking round the farm, I went to the first in the farm's series of Pet Lodge lectures. Lauren Collins (MSc student from Glasgow University) gave a talk on the 'evolution of the symbolic dog in domestic spaces' while the audience cuddled guinea pigs! I didn't get a photo, as it's quite difficult to use a camera with a guinea pig on your knees, specially if you want also to avoid disrupting a lecture! It was an interesting talk though and it was very relaxing to spend time with a very beautiful guinea pig, even if it did get quite energetic at times!
And I did manage to get a photo of several of the farm guinea pigs in their enclosure in the pet lodge
Future lectures will feature chickens, a snake and hopefully some rabbits!
all so cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Juliet.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what kind of sheep they are? Very handsome.
Strangely, I was just discussing the very topic of that lecture this morning.
Hi Maureen - they're Rylands, I've just updated the blog post to add that in....
ReplyDeleteMaureen, I was wrong, these sheep are POll Dorsets, I'll update the blogpost again to show this! The farm used to keep Ryelands.
ReplyDeletethat baby lamb is adorable. and i simply love the character that shows on the lone sheep's face... have a great day~
ReplyDeleteI just love all the animals. They are so cute! What a wonderful place to visit.. Have a happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteSave these images to use for your New Years Cards next year. 2015 will be the year of the sheep. :)
ReplyDeleteAw nice pictures at the farm. Glad to see them.
ReplyDeleteGuinea Pigs and rabbits get along well together I think ....
The guinea pig I knew best got along very well with a temperamental cat.
