All this month I’ve been answering your questions. I’m Locksley, and my friends Ludo, Victor and Pippin are doing their bit too.

Here are some questions which didn’t fit into other letters so far.

Questions and Answers

Do guinea pigs have secret names like cats do? — ineffably

How long have you been blogging? — George started the blog in 2009. He was very busy then despite being ill a lot. He also designed the upstairs run in the old house, which Mummy built in 2010. I started blogging when I helped Biggles and Ludo with our last A2Z, so that would be 2022.

What are grease glands and why do guinea pigs have them? — they are glands where a tail would be if we had them. They put out something sticky with which we mark our presence. They need cleaning sometimes.

Do you like knitting? No.

How do you get on when there’s a full moon? Well, I like full moons, but I understand that Colman went a bit strange at new moons. I’m glad I never knew him (except in Mummy’s books, which aren’t true. I think.)

What’s your favourite part of nature? Grass, although butterflies and flowers are pretty cool.

Do you need nutritionalists to help you work out what to eat? No, just Mummy.

Some people asked about what do we Munch or Nibble, but we covered that in Eat.

Questions we’ll answer later

How do you feel about yellow?
