Handwashing video is a good one. If you get tired of "Happy Birthday", there's always the Menards song, "Save big money, you'll save big money, when you shop Menards. Plumbing, electrical appliances too, etc." Make sure you sing the whole thing, no shortcuts. ;)

These are some of the dioramas I made while on quarantine. I've been collecting the frames, materials and various decorations for some time now. I just haven't been able to find time to get them made. Some even have LED lighting to make a better effect. Arts and crafts are a good way to pass time!

Wow, you are quick! It would have taken me some time to put those together.

Is that hay I see on the ground in some of them?

No hay. One of them has artificial flowers that I used to make a flower garden. The camping one has artificial turf material. I have plenty of time to figure out what to put in them and plenty of things to choose from. The wooden boxes are made from reclaimed materials. I'm killing time, staying busy and helping the environment. That does give me an idea for a diorama though.

Sef -

I got that email a few days ago as well and went ahead and ordered to get on the list, as I only have 3-4 weeks of food left. Dan had mentioned backorders would help them know how much they needed.

That said I order just about everything via Amazon, and according to Amazon it is arriving on Monday. I was really surprised since KMS said they were out. We’ll see if it actually shows up! Amazon still shows a few left in stock as of today.

I hope you are able to get the supplies you need!

Hey, did you know if you order through the link at the bottom of the page (click on the link to get to Amazon), a small portion of your purchase will help fund Guinea Lynx? (at no extra cost to you) It is a great way to help that doesn't cost anything!

Thanks! It ends up being tiny bits but does add up.

https://guernseypress.com/news/2020/03/ ... -pregnant/Not sure where else to post this link because I'm assuming it is a result of coronavirus. This makes me sad and angry at people. I've thought about posting an ad offering to help foster unwanted guinea pigs so that people don't abandon them. Our humane society is closed due to coronavirus so they aren't taking in any animals right now. It would overwhelm me somewhat and keeping the females separate from the males would be a challenge, but I think it might be better than them being abandoned. Is anyone else thinking of doing this.

The pigs in the link look to be in the UK. If any of our members are close by and have the means, maybe they could help those little ones. I checked Craigslist for my area and didn't see any guinea pigs being rehomed, so hopefully it's not an issue here yet.

The financial hardships will be so severe in the coming weeks (and even now!). It makes me sad that our guinea pigs may suffer. I hope people can help out.
