Tommies Mam
Adult Guinea Pig
A year ago my piggy Heather passed away (RIP)
I went down to P@H and bought Thomas, a six week old baby. A couple of days later I thought he was unhappy on his own I rang P@H and they advised that I didn't get another piggy as he would fight with it.
So I went online and after some googling I found this forum, and asked for advice. Graham from Sokels rescue affered me the chance to go up to his rescue to se if he could pair him up with another male.
After a memorable journey (it took me an hour to just get out of town as the road works were so bad) I made it and after being introduced myself to many lovely guinea pigs (I could of taken them all home) Tommy chose Sparky. Sparky came home with me and at first was shy and nervous, that soon changed! He is the noisest and most demanding guinea pig I have ever come across he's also incredibly loving and affection. He's also bright little lad, the snooze button on my alarm clock has no function as Sparky creates such a din when it goes off I have to get up.
Shortly after another piggy came into my life again from Graham, Sweep. A gentle old man who had, had a tough time of it and needed a happy retirement. Sadly Sweep was put to sleep a few weeks later because he developed kidney failure, I fought so hard for that wee lad but sadly he did,t make it.
A few weeks later Prince Harry joined the gang, a gentle laid back ball of fluff, initially he was nervous but now he's doing so well he hates his back touched because what he went through and kicks you but he loves his chin tickled and his head scratched and throuughly enjoys been wrapped in a blanket to sit with you, and he loves classical music.
Initialy he lived on his own but Tommy turned against Sparky and took to kicking his head in, he is jokingly called the "wheeking assasin or asbo pig" so after a slow introduction he lives with Sparky and despite being the much quieter piggy (my friends reckon its cos he can't get word in edgeways) he's definately boss pig.
Here are my four gorgeous boys.
