Same house, just Christmas-ified!
Today Scarlet and I went to Joann's to pick up some Christmas-themed fleece so they could have a festive house for the holiday season. They always get excited when they get new fleece--they popcorn (jump in the air in a spastic, happy way) all around the cage as they explore the new pattern.
Before we put them in their new digs, they got a bath. They dread that, but we need to give them one about once a month to keep Jeremy from being allergic to them. After their bath I always blow dry them on a low, warm setting. This is them being mad at me during the blow drying process:
After the bath, it was time for nail trimming. A bath and nail trimming all in the same night is a bit much, but it had to be done. Poor guys. I offered what I call a "Carrot of Peace" to make it easier for them.

Einstein ran and hid under Darwin when I accidentally trimmed one nail too short. He got extra cuddles tonight because of it:

But there's nothing better than coming back to a new clean cage and being clean little guinea pigs!
