I thought I would let you know Flip Flops story
I got her from Gumtree. Someone was looking to rehome her due to her friend passing away. I was in a simular situation with Celery so I enquired. I was told she was a female piggie about two years old, black and white. She would come with a cage, food and sawdust. None of that I needed, but it would be handy to have for the first few days whilst she settled. I arrange a time for the lady to come over. Well I was in for a shock
The cage was disgusting, 2ft squareish maybe. No room for her to run about in. She had a water bottle that was green from algee. She had food thrown in, under her water bottle and not in a bowl. There was cob webs and slug markings in the cage.
Before I saw her, I should the lady Celery, who was out on the grass enjoying the day. Told her my plan about introducing them and she was happy.
The lady lifted off the house thing, that flipflop was hiding in. Well for starters she is black white and orange (tan/red). We asked her what her favourite veggies were, she spouted out some bits that weren't true (you could tell she was grasping for straws). I was told her lived in a barn as well...
We (mum and me) double checked that she was happy to hand her over to us, and she was. I told the lady she could ring/text/email me and I would give her updates on how she was.. I have heard nothing.
That day, I managed to grab her and have cuddles, it became very apparent she had never been handled!
So after a few weeks, here we are. She is now in a 6x2 c&c cage, fresh veggies every night, a warm bed to sleep in, clean fresh water.
I renamed her from her original name, to Felicity which very quickly became flipflop due to her complete unelegent way of lying down
I took her to the vets and gave her a check over, she is fine health wise and not pregnant or male (my two biggest concerns)
At the moment, she is indoor piggie and she seems happy with that
