Meet little Helygen (pronounced Helleggen), Welsh for "Willow". She's been pining badly after the loss of her husboar, but as her loving and very concerned owner has been denied any new guinea pigs, she's come here to hopefully find happiness and lots of piggy company again. It was gratifying for her owner to see her perk up instantly and know that - as heart-breaking as it was to let her go - it was the right decision.
I have introduced her to Maelog and his four ladies over lunchtime, which went very smoothly. All six are now back in the Tribe pen and are sleeping off a large portion of grass.
Little Helygen (It is always a lovely surprise to find out how gorgeous a piggy is that I adopt sight unseen!)
In her little overnight pre-bonding pen to get to know her future family; Helygen is on the top of the favourite house she came with
During introductions in the kitchen
With her new family
