It has been a quiet Christmas for our rodents. There have been no major escapes or breakouts to report. Jin and the Guinea-Pigs have got bigger. They were all at Mrs Bagots house over Christmas. Mrs Bagot gets the Guinea-Pigs mixed up because at Mrs Bagots house they are called Ren and Stimpy.
People say they are cute and cuddly.
Sometimes people's mums come in and see them but some mums don't really like them. The search was on at Ambleside Primary School when year 6's class pet, Jin the Gerbil, escaped on Friday night and ran loose in the school for 7 days causing heartbreak and despair. Jin escaped on the 16th October while year 6 were having a nice weekend. It was thought that she had climbed up onto her tube, then onto her water bottle, tore the netting lid and clambered out. On Monday when year 6 came back they were heartbroken to hear from their class teacher, Mrs Bagot, that Jin had gone for a run.
