Grandma Dina, Dean, and Libby feed the guinea pigs at the Negev Zoo's petting corner.
I so enjoyed holding the little warm fuzzy. 

(This was just four weeks ago and it was still T shirt weather; now we need several warm layers.)

When you pay for an entrance ticket, the zoo gives you a bag of healthy kibbles to feed the animals.

In my previous post you can see the zoo's concrete tube which serves as a "protected space" in case of incoming rockets and missiles from Gaza.
