3 Piggies on the Hill
Junior Guinea Pig
Hi everyone,
Now that the piggies seem to have settled in a bit, getting used to their new environment, care routine and so on: and now that I have (re)named them, I thought it would be nice to start a thread to share (future) pigtures as well as how they get on, what they get up to etc.
Small caveat up front: I’m not much of a social media user, so I don’t know how much/when I’ll be online, or how often I will be posting something, but anyway, here goes.
Meet the (current and first) 3 Piggies on the Hill:
Maeve is the resident miss bossy-boots, and is least adventurous/risk-taking around hooman.
Aila may be second in the piggy hierarchy? (Seems to be most chased away by Maeve, but also a bit stubborn about it – will at times squeal and put a little distance between them, but remain in the same hidey, leading to Maeve repeatedly closing in again. Often chased out of hidey by Maeve [only hideys with two entrances/exits, so there’s always an escape route
]). Rhona’s sister.
Rhona is the most curious and adventurous of the three, always eager to explore and see what’s going on during cleaning, has already taken several bits of food from hooman’s hand. Aila’s sister.
In case anyone’s wondering: their moms were breeder-bought short-haired agouti’s (grey and brown), who both turned out to be pregnant. These are three of their pups (there were a few more), kept together as a trio/the three of them since weaning. They were taken in by and came up for adoption at the rescue I had already been in touch with, and have now been at home with me for just over a week.
Very much looking forward to seeing them grow and getting to know them better!
