... is one of the most adorable pigtures everx)droolx)droolx)
 
Thanks Bailey. He is lying on his side in this picture too, he was that relaxed.
 
Just read the story of Buzz and Woody. Think what you have done is fantastic, they are very lucky little piggies to be so well looked after, after a horrid start to life. Am full of admiration for you. They look so happy. :)
 
x) ADORABLE x)



Cuddlybums, I've never had a cuddly piggie before, their pulling on your heart strings arnt they? :)) Georgous little men and so friendly too.

They look so tiny in the photos.

Thanks for sharing x​
 
They really are. We were just sitting in with them and they have started stealing food off each other lol.

My other piggies aren't cuddly either apart from Gertie sometimes and it is very begrudgingly. Johnny is always looking for an escape route down the back of the sofa.
 
Fabulous great to see these two are looking sooooooooooooo much better well done x
ps sorry i was slow on the uptake!:))
 
Thanks, that's ok, it's good that you spotted it and shared it, can't believe they haven't even bothered to remove the advert.

I didnt spot it actually another member on another forum did!
So i posted it on here as i know its the best place to get attention for piggies that need help!
Wheres this post of the girls sitting by the door cant find it!
Whats it under? x
 
Just weighed the boys, Buzz was 824g and is now 928. Woody was 873g and is now 930. Does Buzz's weight gain seem a bit too much in a few days?

Also we just cleared out the cozy and there were loads of crumpled dry poos in there which we think are Woody's as he was in there over night. Is this ok?We had noticed him chewing the plastic mat the hay tray was on so took it back out. Ross said there was some normal poos too.

I think Buzz's weight gain just shows how little he must have been getting at his last home :(
I dont think his fast weight gain is a bad thing, although I'm no expert, and it will stabilize off once he's hit his perfect weight. :)

Just goes to show how wonderfully you have been taking care of their needs.

I real feel for Guinea pigs who's owners dont realise what they need and some owners think they can just throw the odd bit of food in the hutch now and and again and they will be alright. I think it goes to show how little education new Guinea pig owners get! As we all know they are quite happy to eat our salad stash in one sitting if they could ! :)p
 
Awww, so nice to read about the little lads! I bet they think they have died and gone to guinea pig heaven with all that food, space, toys and loving attention...

It's just what every guinea pig deserves, of course, but you have made the difference to these two. Thank you!
 
Thanks Salt and Peppers Mum and Skrikopanik.

The correx and upper level arrived from Piggy Paradise today and they love it, her's the boys in their new cage.

Aww Helen, you are doing a great job, both you and Ross. These little piggies definately look like they are in piggie heaven enjoying all the lovely things they have been given.

I hope they will continue to improve in health (which I'm sure they will, given the care they're receiving), :) and I hope you keep them too.

They're home looks terrific. Did you get it all from Piggy Paradise? What size is it roughly do you think? Plus, are all the grids about 14" square? Sorry for qu's.......but your cage is lovely. :)

Beth xx
 
Thanks Monkeynutz, I would love to keep them but we are undecided as Ross said if we rehome these we can help other piggies in need. We have a few months to decide what's best.

Just the top level and the cortex came from piggy paradise. The other grids are wickes. I think they are 14 inches.

Spoilt and they deserve it!
 
New weights today:

Buzz is 981g
Woody is 953g

So Buzz has overtaken Woody.

Had a lovely cuddle with Woody tonight, he is such a cuddle monster. Buzz is such a character too, last night when we were doing their cage they had a run in the hall but I had to go through the hall cupboard to get hay and pellets and Buzz was straight in there eating pellets out of the bowl as I filled it.

Sneaky Millie just managed to creep in their room but we got her out before they saw her.
 
:)):)):))

What lovely characters - even with what they have gone through x)

I love what you've done with their C&C, every piggie needs an hay loft :)

Since the wheekend I've got 4 more fosters, 3 boys all living together and all look identical rolleyes takes me ages to tell them apart. My daughter has named them Fizz, Fidget and Cola
And tonight I pick up one special fellow called Minstral who was found walking the streets of Wakefield and was taken the the vets. He has mites, but is the friendlist fellow I've come across x) He got soooooo giddy when he heared the noises of the trio. He's a bit skinny and weighes 867g but apprantley he's already put on loadsa weight since being with BARC rescue (who I foster for) for the last fortnight.

:)p
 
Oh Minstral sounds gorgeous, poor little baby. He has a bright future ahead of him now. I love the names of the other three and idenitcal too, that must be difficult.

According to my daughter, who is 7, you can tell them apart as she has drawn me a pigture - more like a piggie diagram of all 3 labelling the differences i.e - one has a darker left ear, one is bigger, one has a darker foot :)) so I have it in front of me at all times for reference so I can talk to them individually, although they are so scatty by the time I'm noting which one is peeking out he's gone again ! :))


Anyway, glad your enjoying Woody and Buzz now you can see what a diffence you have made you should be so proud of yourself (and Ross too) x
 
Lol about the diagram, that's hilarious.

Thanks, very much that's really nice of you.
 
Update, second vet visit today and the vet was really pleased with them. A lot of their hair has grown back and they seem much healthier. Was a much happier vet visit after the night before with our hamster.
