Shocked and disgusted >:(

Thank goodness the poor darlings were found by the nice man. Are there no cameras nearby that may have caught whoever dumped them?
 
Poor babies! Why dump them in the middle of nowhere!
Pleased to see that they have been rescued by the Guinea pigs angel 0:) :smitten:
 
Phoned up highways but does not seem like there were any cameras it is a very rural area but will keep trying. will keep on it going to email some people I know who might know who bred them will keep trying i will!
 
The boys are lovely. Why oh why would someone do something like that. It makes me so god damn :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: I mean I know people aren't fond of pets at home but they have an adoption centre (we got out chinese hamster from their adoption centre and he's adorable) so why can't people at least take them to somewhere like this? Thank god that that man found them in time and also that you were there to say them. Hope the little ones are ok :smitten:
 
Poor little piggies, I just can not understand how anybody could to such a thing, especially when they could have been taken to a rescue where they would have been found homes. It is beyond belief what some people will do.

Vikki I realise that you don't want to give your exact location publicly on a forum but could you say vaguely the area - was it near Swafham then?

These are sweet pigs but they are definately not purebred. They have not been bred by a 'show' breeder; no-one would deliberately breed mixed coloured Satins or Crested Dark Eyed whites!. They would have been bred by a pet breeder or large 'mill' breeder - sort of place that packs them off to P@H.

What sort of age are they? (What are their weights / state of their nails?)

This is a particularly nasty case of cruelty - even the death in the jaws of a predator if they had been flung out 'loose' from a car would be quicker and preferable to this.
If you don't mind I will copy the link of the Norfolk page to another forum I visit which has both breeders and pet people on it.
 
I am absolutely disgusted by that how could anyone do that to a living animal, will say no more.

Vikki and Sophie you are angels hope they are back on their feet and in a loving forever home soon.
 
i no it is very cruel
they are such lovely piggies i would come and get them in a snap lol :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
What some ppl do now days tho its like they havn't even got BRAIN and they like the idea tht they could of suffered.
I am so glad they have been found bless there lil hearts

That is an absolutely dispicable way to treat an animal. I wonder how many more animals die in laybys and rubbish tips that we never find out about? It makes me so incredibly angry and frustrated, I mean, even if the 'people' that did this couldn't face the thought of handing them over to a rescue face to face, they could have at least left them on the steps of a rescue or a pet shop, anything, but not this slow, starvation with hardly any room to move. Disgusting. It made me cry. I genuinely feel sorry for the person that has that little heart or concience, that can inflict this sort of suffering on an innocent, trusting animal. :'(

I am so glad that there are people like you who can rescue these poor desperate little souls. Gold star for you. 0:) 0:) 0:)
 
Piggys were found in Hellington..
I realise the breeder bit is a long shot but at this point anything is worth a try O0
They are youg boys probably less than 6 months
Thanks for cross posting. O0
 
The pigs at P@H in Norwich are often short haired cresteds - I wonder if they came from there?

Also if they're about 6 months old - I wonder if they were Christmas presents and have lost their appeal?

Boys doing well, got some more pics to post of them - will do it at lunch time! They're such adorable boys, really funny with the syringe - the just won't give it back!

very likely sophie but it is a shame they did not make use of the adoption centre if they did come from there would have been better than this happening.
glad they are doing well :)
 
This is just awful how can you treat an animal like that! :tickedoff: I will shut up tho as my mouth my run away with me!

I'm just glad they have been found and are now being well looked after x :smitten:

Awww I think i'm in love :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: What a wonderful job you've done, you're a saint 0:) What a transformation from the first pics you posted O0 Whats going to happen to Zippy and George from here?
 
What will happen to them..... well, in theory they will be nursed back to full health and then put up for rehoming ;)

Meanwhile I am getting very attached to the little fellas, so they might have to be wrestled from me! :smitten:

How gorgeous are they? :smitten: They look so much better now! They deserve a loving home.

And you know after all they have been through it never fails to amaze me how trusting they remain. I've seen this a few times. :smitten:
 
That's so true, they are very trusting little boys. They were quite good being bathed, and they're so good with the BioLapis (compared to Moomin, who is a stroppy madam!) - they just seem to take everything on board. I felt awful putting them in a cat carrier (a different one!) to take them to the vets - I wondered if they thought I was going to dump them again. Probably anthromoph... whatever it's called when you put human traits on to an animal - but I couldn't help thinking about it.

The vet was horrified (not least by the smell!). Saw the same vet today with Moomin and she asked how they were doing, nice of her to remember.

3 vet trips so far this week!

Awwww Bless them :smitten: :smitten:
I thought about the rainbow you saw on your way home with them and I think it was probably poignant.
Maybe the piggies at Rainbow Bridge sent an angel piggie to watch over them and help them to safety :) and their names are fab :)
Sending huge cuddles and loads of love :-* :-* :smitten: :smitten:
 
they look so much better well done, if I was nearer I would wrestle you for them ;D ;D
 
:'( :'( Poor pigies :'(.. Some people are pure evil! how could they live with themselves leavng them trapped in a carrier to die :'(
Hope they make a full recovery.
 
I have a local radio interview lined up for monday to talk about the boys and the plight of guinea pigs in general and the hard work of all private individuals who take it upon themselves to help these lovely creatures I am nervous as heck but it might do some good.
 
Wow thats excellent Vikki! Well done, sure you will be fine and lets hope the person who has done this listens and feels guilty :tickedoff:
