Hi there

I was just wondering how many pigs people had?

And for how many years have you been keeping pigs?

I have 15 at the moment and have been keeping pigs for 25+ years :) they are so addictive!

Altogether I have had 13 guinea pigs and have had guinea pigs for 5 years. (Most of the pigs were litters that I did nó keep:-( )
 
29 pigs overall 10 years with a gap (work and babies!)in between.
 
I have five piggies and have been keeping them for over three years now.
 
I currently have two piggies and have been keeping them for nearly six years but will be getging another pair of pigs as soon as rescues are able to get back to me.

We have six piggies, all sows, although we have been known to foster boars for Suzygpr. We've had piggies for three and a half years now. Addictive as they are, I think six is enough permanent residents for us.:))
 
At the moment I have 13, I hate to say it but I've probably just managed to accquire another! So soon to be 14!

That's probably a small number for me, I've had 30+ in the past. Been keeping them about 12 years. I definitely don't want 30 again, it was too much work but I do like having quite a few 10-15 is a comfortable number for me now.
 
3 piggies now - 2 sows 2yrs old -1 boar 6 months old - and two spayed sows coming from Tracy at Rugby Rabbit and guinea pig rescue on Thursday - so I will then have 5 drooldrool
 
I had my first piggy when I was 7 years old, and never been without them since. I think that makes 21 years of being a piggy mum. :(|)

My past piggies are: 9 Boars - Patches, Twiggy, Donnie, Buddy, Woogie, Boogie, Jimmy, Douglas, Wobble. 7 Sows - Ivory, Woody, Ebony, Milly, Molly, Mandy, Pingu.

I currently have 6 piggies Wibble, Pollyanna, Genghis, Chequers, Skittles, Marmite.

22 piggies in 21 years :)
 
i was 7 when i got my first 3 guineas and i have never been without them since and now I'm 19 :))

ive got 8 altogether now
 
Been keeping piggies for just short of 2 years and 4 months - had 5, currently have 4.
 
five (six on saturday) piggies for 4 years. i'm so glad i got my first two on a whim when visiting a rescue, i've been in love since! xx
 
I have 5 pigs (got our first ziggy 10 months ago) 2 boars 3 sows.
I had 2 sows when i was little.
 
I have been blessed to have shared my life with piggies for about 10 years. Farquhar and Bob were my first piggies (who were girls), then I lost Bob and got Matilda. Farquhar died when she was five and I got Lady Penelope....I also by this time had Mimsi and Montgomery......Sadly Lady Penelope died earlier this year, so I recued two babies who I was told were female but one was male. Sabbeene went to live with Matilda and Dalton lived with Mimsi. sadly Mimsi passed away and I adopted Bernadette to lvie with Dalton. I got cyrus in july and had him neutered in september and now lives with the girls. So to sum up.. I have two herds...Cyrus with Matilda and Sabbene and Dalton who lives with Bernadette...
 
Two pigs... Three in total in erm... About a year.
My previous Darwin died of pneumonia but my current Harvey and Loci are as fit as a fiddle. I agree guinea pigs are VERY addictive!
