Meet Tegwen Draenog "beautiful and blessed hedgehog" (Teggy), née Mrs Tiggywinkle (Tiggy).
Teggy is the widow of Benji, the special character at The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary who has sadly recently lost his heroic fight.
She has found new company today with the widows of Maelog (another TEAS adoptee) and their new husboar Pioden (who is a no longer wanted widower adopted from The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue).
Teggy was surrendered with her companion Nutkin to Little Pip's Rehoming last December as two baby sized "males" despite being one year old. After a year of serious malnutrition they were suffering from severe scurvy (vitamin C deficiency). Nutkin (who weighed just over 300g) sadly didn't make it, but Teggy (at 400g) has thankfully pulled through thanks to expert dental treatment, a good diet and care. She has grown to a normal size and does no longer need medical care. Her adoption frees up an urgently needed cage at TEAS sanctuary and will benefit another guinea pig with severe/chronic dental problems.
Since I have adopted a couple of sisters (Hapus and Llawen) from Little Pip's Rehoming in East Devon last year, the Tribe is also an already approved home for that rescue, which has been kept fully informed about the move.
