Teach me Tuesday: Guinea Pigs with Caitlyn

This week Caitlyn brought her two guinea pigs in for Teach me Tuesday.  We all got to hold Dozer and Scruffles and learnt some really interesting facts about guinea pigs.  Did you know that they originally came from South America?  They live in many different habitats such as deserts, grasslands and at the edge of forests where they can find lots of vegetation to eat.  Guinea pigs are not actually pigs at all, but are more closely related to rodents such as rats.
Thanks Caitlyn for bringing your pets to school!
