Our two guinea pigs and Guy Fawkes Night

Last night was Guy Fawkes Night, and our guinea pigs, Holly and Maisie were scared by the loud noises from fireworks nearby.

We managed to calm them down by putting Chris Evans' Radio 2 show on for them to listen to, and they were quite happy.

Any pet owners with worried animals might like to try putting the radio on -quietly, animals' ears are often sensitive - for an hour or two to distract them from loud fireworks.

The radio should be a good half-metre or so away from the animals as well. Don't put it right by them.
