We love our pets!

Patrick the dog got picked up by his new dad this afternoon. :( He's going to a friend of ours from high school so it's not like we won't be able to see him, but it's already weird having just two of us in the house.

Welu, my guinea pig chews on her cage a lot and I keep telling her to stop. The kids in my class have also picked up telling her to stop chewing on her cage. Kind of funny.
Also I've decided my guinea pig is spoiled. She squeaks at every single meal time and will not stop until I give her a fruit or veggie. Luckily I stocked up on carrots, snap peas, and celery recently, so she's getting more than just an apple here and there.
Question though - she will not chew on any of the toys I've gotten her. I've got a salt block on the side of her cage and a wooden dangly thing (she pretty much ignored the sticks that stayed on the bottom of her cage) and she rarely chews them. Any suggestions?

Cheap, simple toys for kittens: shoestrings and crumpled aluminum foil balls.

I think one of the reasons Paige doesn't really play (other than the fact that she's an adult cat so just a bit more sedate) is that she's missing a front leg, so it'd be harder for her to bat at something or chase it around without toppling over. She is very agile when she wants to be and comes lolloping across the room at an impressive speed to be petted or to snuggle, but she's just not that bothered by playing so maybe it's not worth the effort.

Maybe buy her a tunnel or box thingy that is crinkly or has something interesting inside so she can roll around to play? She probably like the smell of catnip if she's lying on it, but like you said, she can't bat at it.
