Senior Guinea Pig
As I can't add photos to Jenny's website and have failed miserably at trying to add photos from photobucket to the rescue facebook page, I thought I would make a little thread here so that santa's could see pictures of the piggies that have been nominated. I can't tell you all their stories but will ask Jenny to add some comments when she can.
But, remember.... Secret Santa is secret, so if you are one of our santas... sshhhh!

Cocoa... beautiful girl who came into rescue a few of months ago with an awful abscess on her back leg. It has taken a lot of time to heal and she had to put up with lots of treatment but it's looking good now. She has joined the group of life-time residents called The Misfits. The neutered boar in the group, XP, loves Cocoa very much.
Little Mo... I have a huge soft spot for Mo (she's fell asleep on my lap the first night she came into rescue and I have been smitten ever since). She came into rescue as an unwanted pet. She was living with another piggy, Boo, in a double hutch outside. Both they, and another pair, Taggy (Wiebke's Tegyd) and her then husboar, Jack Black, had previously lived in children's bedrooms but as the girls became teenagers, they no longer wanted the pigs indoors and were uninterested in caring for them. Mo is blind and Boo was wasting away. Within minutes of coming into rescue, it became clear that Mo was attacking Boo and they were separated. Mo was very confused with all the changes and we think she had been stopping Boo from eating, probably because they didn't have enough food. Mo couldn't see and was just looking out for herself; it can't have helped that she was living in a hutch with a ramp. As Mo is blind, Jenny decided that she would stay in rescue and she became the founder member of The Misfits.
Whiskey... I love Whiskey! Whiskey has been in rescue a long time. He is a feisty boy and quite a biter (I have the teeth marks to prove it). He lives on his own but watches everything that goes on from his favourite position on top of his house.
Just J... has also been in rescue a long time. He has been passed over because of his red eyes but I think he's a smasher. He's a real sweetie and loves a cuddle.
Buggs... another boy who has been in rescue a long time and passed by because of his red eyes. Buggs is a real character and how could you not love a piggy with such a cool hairstyle?
Mabel and Olive have recently come into rescue. Their child owners had grown up and left home, so the family made the decision to rehome them. They have been very well looked after and loved, and are very cuddly. They are about 4 years old and real ladies. Although the girls are looking for a forever home, it may take a while to find the perfect one for them because of their age.
Thankyou to Vicky for organising the Secret Santa and to everyone taking part. It's lovely that so many people are thinking of rescue pigs this Christmas. xx>>>
