Hi my name is Jasper, and I live with my rabbit friends. I like to hop around all day and play with my friends and like to get lots of cuddles and affection from my owners. I go to sleep at night in my hutch, on a nice warm bed of sawdust, with Misty.
My favourite treats are fresh fruit and vegetables, they taste nice and help me to stay healthy, but I can't eat lettuce because it makes me ill. Most of the time I eat special rabbit food to make sure I get the right vitamins and minerals. I also eat hay because it is good for my digestion and is full of fibre.

Hi my name is Misty. I live in with my friend Jasper. I love affection and being stroked. I like to play around in the sand, with the guinea pigs and Jasper and dig lots of holes. I sleep in the hutch on a sawdust bed with Jasper at night.
Usually I eat special rabbit food, which is full of vitamins, but my favourite treats are broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, which help to keep me healthy, but I get ill if I eat lettuce, because it is poisonous for rabbits.

Hello my name is fudge and I am a female Tri coloured Guinea Pig. I love running free around my large pen exploring and playing with my other friends Laura, Chopsticks, Snowbell, Jasper and Misty. Jasper and Misty were a bit scary at first because they are so big but now we are best of friends.
At night I curl up in my straw bed in my pen and sleep soundly knowing I am safe.

Hello my name is Chopsticks and I am A white female guinea Pig
I love to hide under the steps at the front of the pen or behind the rabbit cage as I am a bit scarred of people and don't like to be caught.
I like having such a big pen though as it means I can run and hide when I get scared.

Hi my name is Snowbell and I am a white female Guinea Pig.
I love to munch on carrot tops and cabbage leaves with my friends Laura, Fudge, Chopsticks, Misty and Jasper. We are given them as a treat to help keep us health but we must be careful because to much of them can make us ill.
My favourite time of the day is feeding time as I love to eat and am usually the first to the bowl.

Hi I am Laura a white female guinea Pig.
I love games. I like to pretend that I don't want to be caught and run round and round the pen ever night trying not to be caught. But when I am caught I love to be stroked and petted before going to bed.
During the day I like to play with my friends Fudge, Chopsticks, Snowbell, Misty and Jasper

Hi my name is Billy and I live with my mother Jenny. I like to play and jump around during the day and curl up in my bed of straw at night. I like to eat haylage and vegetables, but potatoes make me feel sick.
My breed originated in South Africa, although my breed name “Boer” is a Dutch word and it means farmer. The females are used to produce milk for cheese. I am hoping to grow up big and strong because most adult male Boer goats weigh between 110 and 135 kg (240 and 300 lbs). So I eat lots of healthy foods to give me the vitamins and minerals I need. Hi my name is Jenny and I live with my youngest son Billy. I like to spend my day eating haylage and playing with Billy, and then at night I curl up in our bed of straw. I like to eat most vegetables apart from potatoes because they make me ill. Most female goats, like me, weigh between 90 and 100 kg (200 and 225 lbs) and female Boer goats reach puberty at about 10 to 12 months of age and we can have up to 3 kiddings every 2 years because we have an extended breeding season. I am hoping to have some more kids again soon. So eating healthily and getting the vitamins I need is essential.

Hi my name is Salt and I am an Oxford Sandy Black pig. I like to spend my days playing with my friend Pepper and rooting in my pen for extra food. My favourite time of day is feeding time. I love to eat almost anything from vegetables to bread thought I am not allowed to eat any meat products. One of my favourite foods is apples I love there sweet taste. At night I like to build a cosy nest of straw to lie in to keep me warm.
My breed was thought to be extinct by the 1960's but it was rediscovered in 1975.
Hello my name is pepper and I like to play all day. I especially like to play with my friend Salt. I love to play with the tire swing by hitting it with my snout to make it swing around. In the summer when it gets hot I love to wallow in mud and love a cold water shower, it helps to cool me down and stops me getting burnt.I like to play chase round and round trying to catch Salt, it's so much fun! But I'm a cheeky pig and I sometimes like to chase my owners too! Both Salt and I like to curl up in our nice warm bed of straw at night and fall fast asleep.

You can see me in the picture above stood next to my friend Jack. Ewes are female sheep and they play a major role on the farm, rearing all the baby lambs. Our favourite foods are haylage and grass nuts. At night we like to curl up on a nice warm bed of straw.
