    what with the grass being so damp thanks to all the wet weather we've been having lately ive been afraid to use the mower on it :help::nonofinger: but never fear i called in the cavalry in the form of our four little old lady guinea pigs (aka The Four Munch-keteers lol :rolleyespink:) who did a smashing job as always munching the grass down nice and short :yes:

    Before...............see the long unruly grass........

            i think i'll let the guinea pigs have free run of the garden again tomorrow as id quite like to get the lawn looking half decent again and there's no way i can run the mower over it whilst its so damp (and not much chance of it drying out anytime soon) i have noticed the grass grows back faster after the guinea pigs have been out on it :scratch: i suppose it gets a much cleaner cut from tiny nibbling teeth than from the mower hacking away at it :dunno:

            role on the spring/summer so they can be out regularly again :yes:
