The guinea pigs#
Hash Brown#
In memory · 24 June 2025 — 20 March 2026, 06:43 (Melbourne time)
Hash Brown died that morning after chewing and ingesting fragments of a plastic urine pad.
We will always remember her for:
- Sprinting at full speed around her cage and constantly rearranging her hideouts
- The "515151" squeak she used to beg for food when the fridge door clicked
- Bell peppers, corn silk, and pellets
Potato#
Born 27 July 2025, she is a dark-brown Teddy. She is brave, curious, and always looking for food.
- Often buries herself in oat hay to sleep, then keeps chewing after she wakes up
- Sometimes dozes while eating
- Favourite snacks: bell peppers, corn silk
Peanut#
Born 27 July 2025, the same day as Potato.
Peanut's pups#
All three were born on 7 May 2026: one boy and two girls. They do not have names yet; the timeline has a separate counter for each pup.
