Here's my new piggy!

I took a video of him running round like a loon last night, but can't post it for some reason.

He was running loops of the living room then needed a rest, then was off again!

When it was too cold for them to go outside I would bring them into the house and put them in the bathroom so they could have a leg stretch in the warm. I would sit with my back against the door and my legs tucked up and they would run to the end of the bathroom and then underneath my legs. Then plonk down to catch they're breath before doing a bit more. Used to crack me up!

Bit of a mixed update really... Hamish started not too eat or drink very much, so I took him to the vets the following day. She said his intestines felt enlarged and he was constipated.
She gave him a laxative jab and sent us home. I put him back in his bed and he looked a bit ropey, so I left him quiet.
I went back 30 mins later and he was gone poor boy. He must have had it brewing for a while, but he was an old-ish man and I'm glad his last few weeks were spent eating good food and having cuddles and floor time. I'll miss him, he was a character.


By this point I had already arranged for a guinea pig rescue to bring a few friends for him to choose from, so I said I would take in 2 sows.
They came Saturday, Treacle is black and gold and Fizz is sporting the boot brush look!

I've tried to attach a video, this was them first venturing out. I hope it works!

I've even had wheeking from Fizz whilst refilling their hay!

RIP Hamish, lucky pig to have spent his last days in luxury. They do tend to go very quickly once they get ill, I think it's to do with their size as they don't have any reserves to fight with.

Your new ladies are gorgeous!

So sad for you about Hamish, I saw the pictures of him and he was just like my old girls, Ginger and Pickles, same colour coronets, Ginger didn't have the white crown, just a few white hairs. They are gone now but were around 6 yrs old. Fizz looks like another previous piggy of mine, Ruby. So glad you have 2 new rescue piggies, I have 2 piggy girls now, Daisy and Cookie (see Quirky's "last weekend..." thread). All the best with your newbies

Thanks, I saw your 2, love the second pic, such a cute face!

They have settled in quite well, Treacle is the quieter one, but she's slowly coming out of her shell
