CharlottiesPiggies

arrived today! just got back from the rescue centre with them, their homes all cozy and soft, I'm going to leave them for a few hours, and get photos when i can.

Fergies records say that she was left in a shed in dover on her own n Hamish was in a group of 12 un-cut boys, so there was ALOT of fighting, but they have both been there about 6 months, the owner didnt submit any ages - think she was a nutcase anyway, so yeh i have a feeling they are about a year old now? I will post pictures when they are a little calmer O0
 
Awwwwww congrats on getting 2 new piggies 0:) Cannot wait to see those gorg faces :smitten:
 
you will love Fergie, I'm sure she could be in the running for Jan 08 rescue piggie - shes amazing :P Hamish is her little friend, i chose their names, they were originally India & Splash :o
 
;D ;D ;D I cant wait to see them they sound lovely - are they both sows then ?
 
no, Hamish is a castrated male that has been paired with Fergie, Val who ran the rehoming, whos just finished a course at Cambridge Cavy Trust said that you can have quite a few sows in with ONE castrated male, they are very laidback guys.
 
hehe, they are both stunning, if Fergie behaves herself might show her perhaps, she is at showing standard, doesnt have paperwork though, but pffft, for a small show doesnt really matter, when i post photos you guys might be able to help age them? I say around a year for both.

Fergie is 1020g......is that heavy, she seems to weigh a brick in comparison to M&R, however she is a bit older i guess, Hamish is around the same weight too.
 
I wouldnt say thats heavy just about the right weight i would say - Bless them :smitten: :smitten:
 
felt so sorry for both of them, they are very different, i think Hamish is agouti and Fergie is an abby x maybe?
 
just uploading them to photobucket - Fergies so laidback, its crazy, Hamish is still a little RAHHHHHHHHHHH heehee,

sorry i forgot to rotate it!
 
They're lovely, fergie is a gorgeous colour :smitten:
Great set up, just one thing though about the straw it's
not good for the piggies as it can cause eye poke injuries O0
 
yeh i am going to get some shavings and lots of hay, the straw that you see there is really sh*tty wilkinsons stuff, its actually very soft, so i may use it for a while until i find an alternative. Fergie is a huge pudding and shes so calm.
 
the smooth coat looks like a agouti she also looks just like my little Amber and the fluffy one a aby x but I am rubbish at breeds lol
 
Oh they are gorg :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

I think Hamish is a Brown Agouti X and Fergie looks like a tortoiseshell Abyssinian 0:)
How many rosettes does Fergie have ? :D
 
hundreds!!! lol ;D ummm id say shes probably pushing 7/8? so I think that still counts as an abby
 
I have an Aby, Sunshine has 10 rosettes and is an Aby. I read to be an Aby their should be 8-10 rosettes, but sometimes you read conflicting advice. :)
 
yeh thats true ;D well in my opinion and the opinion of the other girls at the centre, they think shes an abby.

Gonna take more upclose pics soon, and some videos hopefully - they have been doing alot of 'purring' with eachother which i read somewhere is a sign of happiness or excited-ness :-*
 
Sure it's purring, I've never heard my girls do that only when being groomed by me. When mine are in heat they rumble which sounds like purring. :)
