Teenage Guinea Pig
Thought i’d make a thread for my piggies and to introduce myself a bit. I did introduce myself back when I joined the forum but its been a good few years!
I’m Freya and I’m currently at uni studying to be a midwife, which does mean i’m away from my piggies a lot of the time but my family all look after them well and send me regular pigtures and updates! I’ve had pigs all my life but never really got my own until i was about 14/15 when i decided I wanted some responsibility. That’s when i got my boys Smudge
and Smokey
Both lived to the ripe old age of 6 and taught me so much about piggie care, along with helping me discover this forum.
When I lost Smudge I decided I would look for a neutered boar to bond with Smokey so I could eventually have a harem; this is where Winston comes in
Winston was a delight to bond with Smokey and it was love at first sight. Unfortunately Winston being 11 months at the time was much more keen to play than 6 year old Smokey who wanted to enjoy his retirement
When I lost Smokey a couple of weeks ago I went in search of some ladies for Winston, this is where Syrup and Rosie come in
Unfortunately after two failed bonding attempts I (along with everyone’s kind help on the forum) called it a fail and the girls will be going back to the rescue to find their forever homes. The good news is that the rescue have agreed the girls can stay until they have a pair/group of girls I can adopt so that Winston still has some company. So Rosie and Syrup are currently my foster piggies!
That’s a brief history of my piggie journey so far and I hope to keep you all updated when I can (so long as life doesn’t get too hectic), since I see the lovely, kind and helpful community on here and would like to be a part of it
Also thank you to everyone that helped me with the Winston/Rosie/Syrup bonding saga it’s been a week full of ups and downs, these pigs don’t half keep us slaves worried and busy!

Fingers crossed they will like Winston
I’m really going to miss them since they both have such huge piggie personalities, Rosie obviously has a constant empty belly and will shout and shout and shout until I bring something to her liking then once she’s finished that the cycle starts again! And Syrup’s such a sweet little pig I think she must have been through a lot so I’m glad her and Rosie will be going to their forever home together 
but I peaked in after we’d left them alone with the lights off and heard them chatting to each other and Winston 
.
Great News.
