We are taking a 5 hour flight next week.It will be my sons first. Any ideas how to keep him entertained for so long?
Answer
I have done a 5 hour train trip with my 4 children. It isn't easy - but is possible. If you're lucky the plane will have the inflight entertainment screens - you know - like playstation / movies / cartoons - otherwise, you can get some great paper craft on www.papertoys.com.au that he can color and make - cars, buildings etc. Take a small backpack for him with these in it, some crayons / pens / glue - some surprises like a tricky lego set. You can get miniature versions of board games such as "kids monopoly, operation" etc. that you can play with him. If he has a "game-boy" or hand held game get him a new game for it - that will occupy him for a while - if there are no in-flight snacks - pack him some of his favorite treats. Take a couple of pots of Play-Doh and some funny shaped cutters and some little plastic scissors - get some little cup cake paper cups and tiny little paper plates / and silverware (you can buy toy pan / plate / silverware sets at the discount store) and you can make heaps of play-doh food and animals and have fun WITH him!! You might be exhausted by the end of the trip - but he will be happy and have had a wonderful time with you. If he loves stories - take some really special books you haven't had time to read to him before - (proper chapter books that you may have loved when you were little).

Is it safe for my guinea pig to have a brick in his cage?

Bricks are an important addition to the cage. Your guinea pig will have fun if you build a brick stairway for him-being careful that itâs very secure!-and it will help trim his toenails at the same time. Place it near his water dish so that he has to travel over it regularly.

Bricks made into a stair way or even a single brick, most guinea pigs love a bit of height.

Cool Brick Patio is a hit with his guinea pigs. They love it!
Just wanted to give you some links to show you that I'm not just giving you a crap answer off the top of my head. Despite what the nay-sayers claim, it is perfectly alright to put a brick in your guinea pig cage. Make sure you clean the brick first, a scrub brush and plain water will do. And make sure that there is no cement or mortar on the brick that can crumble off and pose a choking hazard to your pig. Your guinea pigs might give the brick a little test nibble, but once they realize that it's really hard and not food, they should leave it alone. Putting a brick in front of their water bottle is a good idea to keep their nails trimmed.
