Cariad ("darling", former Peggy) has come home with us today and has brought her best friend, Ceri ("love", former Maggie), with her.
They were both part of a group of coronet sows from Becklen Guinea Pig Rescue and are my (early and "bestest" ever!) birthday present with DEEPEST thanks to my hubby for giving in about Becky's delightful special girl! The names are Hels' and Becky's choice.

Introductions went in record time with a minimum of fuss:
Telyn Llewelyn Ceri Nia Cariad Taffy

A "bum sniffing chain": Ceri (Nerys) Cariad Taffy Telyn Llewelyn

Suddenly, the tribe had discovered the kitchen door and were back in the living room, leaving some bemused newcomers!

Ceri has had no problems with the ramp and is busy settling in and even making the odd little jump already, while Cariad prefers to stick to "her" chosen hut and is only seen at mealtimes. However, both have joined the others nibbling on some dinner veg!

yaaaaaaaaay! glad they are finally with their mummy!

beautiful girls x)

Happy intros went well!
xxxxxx
 
PS: Cariad is spoken like "CAR-yad" and Ceri a bit like "Kerrie".
 
I'm so glad to see you back home with your lovely new girls. I've eagerly been awaiting this update all weekend. They are so gorgeous (and I'm so jealous you have yours home!). Glad to see the intros went smoothly and everyone looks very happy.
 
ooooooooooooooooooooh, lovely x)x)x), ooooooooooooooooooooh I'm so jealous......rolleyesrolleyesrolleyes
 
They are beautiful! I think I have the bug and would love to have another piggy!
Monika:)p
 
Oh Wiebke, they are LOVELY (happy birthday for Whenever?) ... I adore them both, but in particular have fallen for little Ceri ..... they look so happy together, and I'm amazed the bonding went so well.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks from here.
 
The new girls are settling in amazingly well. There is a little bit of chasing by Llewelyn and some of the bigger girls, but nothing that is out of line with mild dominance behaviour. And no signs of aggression at all! :)):)):))
 
OOh they have arrived! I thought you were getting just another one, must have missed the thread but so nice for them to go in together. Soo how many in your happy herd now?
 
Oh, the new girls are simply stunning! Really beautiful! I'm so pleased that they are settling in well and getting along with your tribe. x

Ceri was a very recent surprise addition, so no thread about her! I have now seven piggies, and no plans to get any more, as six was my aim!

They are all rescues, from Wales, England and Scotland:
1 smooth neutered boar, Llewelyn
2 teddy sisters, Nerys and Nia
2 abys, mom Taffy and daughter Telyn
2 coronets, Cariad and Ceri (as far as I know not related, but rescued from the same breeder)
 
AHH I'm glad she went in with her friend, it's always worked for me adding in pairs it gives the newbies some support.

They are gorgeous and you know what they say 7 is a lucky number! I think you've hit on the perfect number and a credit to you that they are all getting on.

can't wait to hear the stories that come from your guinea family now and the photos! :)
 
i cant get over what beautiful piggies they both are! so pleased introductions went well :)
 
Ceri is making herself very much at home - even falling asleep right by the ramp! :))

Thanks for letting me having them - especially Ceri! What a cheeky little girl she is!
I'm happy to say that both girls are already involved in the scrums for food.

I noticed that as well - I love my pink cuty noses very much!
 
i cant think of anyone who would think Ceri isn't cute..she DOES have such a cheeky face...awww....honestly, shes the first piggy that i really want to pignap............................x) i think i need to meet this piggy now....AHHH.. SUCH A CUTE PIGGIEdrooldrool:o
 
I am glad to say that the two have already had a little popcorn round the cage and were racing up and down the ramp and bumping into other piggies.

At breakfast (separate from the rest of the tribe to give them a chance), they have gone for the fresh stuff first instead of the pellets. However, cheeky Ceri is snatching things off Cariad's mouth! But not bad, considering that they have never had fresh veg before coming into rescue!
