i've found my four piggies easier to care for than my rabbit! (RIP Harry) maybe i'm wierd?

I agree with Lou, let's not slate her. I do hope she recovers and gets to the stage that she enjoys looking after her piggies. x
 
I agree Clare I find Harvey and Tika harder to care for than the pigs. But still they are fab! My rabbits always look peed off!...lol Makes me laugh! :(|)
 
You know regardless of what went on before, Vikki has the pigs now and I don't feel comfortable with slating her. What if one of Vikki's pigs became ill, she wouldn't feel comfortable posting here for advice and thats a shame.

I'm not supporting what she has done, far from it and I feel she shouldn't have the pigs if she feels so negative about them.

People can say things they did not mean in times, maybe if people would give her a chance she would she would say. It might be her and he mum have sorted an agreement to ease it on Vikki when she has a bad sufffering off her ME now she won't need to get rid of themrolleyes

Not sure if Vikki meant it but she has told me she won't be posting here.

6 rabbits, 6 piggies here and i find my piggies so much harder to look after, it must be difernet for everyone but I'm knackerd after properly cleaning the piggies out, oh wait I'm already tired after catching the :(|)
 
Haha I just can't catch the rabbits at all! They are too quick! And as Harvey can jump 3ft up then its a battle between me and Peter to get him! I'm sure he'll calm down in time, he has just been giving me evils in the Garden as I was talking to him. He is in a sleepy mood!

As for Vikki well its a shame she feels that way, there is no need for her to stop posting at all. :(

hahaha! maybe it depends on the breeds and personalities! My Harry was a grey english, dwarf lop (I wish we had photos to put on here as he was stunning!) who was a cheeky, mischievious boy, but he got lots of problems with his tummy, he got snuffles about three times and he got that thing from eating his poops with bugs on (i wont go into deails as people maybe eating as they read this, but he had an op to sort it), our four girl guinea pigs are indoor piggies so they get more interaction from us and we could tell straight away if they weren't themselves. We're all different! ;)

I wish she'd actually come on here and say how the situation has changed. We'd all appreciate it and I think many of her would respect her for this and wish her and her guinea pigs all the best x
 
lol the rabbits aren't so bad unless you count Liqourice and Raine there so hard to catch but when i do th piggis i have to take a break to catch my breath before cleaning:(|):(|)

Yep it's a shame but a shame for the piggies most :( I love this place i do but quite frankly it was horrible to attack and yes i consider it attacking a person like you all have (not everyone) posting and qouting links from other forums without even giving her a chance to explain why she has choosen piggies again, if she has sorted out a plan for cleaning when her ME is bad etc no just all jumped on her back and assumed she'd chuck them outgrrrr

Even i admit my piggies become a handful and it's a real battle to clean them because i can't catch them in my hucth, luckily i have sorted a plan to help me with my brother helps me catch them an i just clean, maybe if you gave her the chnce she would have said she had worked something out and learned her lesson.

This is why piggies don't get help you jump p and they leave and can't come back to ask for help when there piggies need it:(

i'm sorry, i'm sure everyone can understand why i jumped, and i'm sure everyone can see both sides of the argument. tell her to come back and i will email an apology. x

I can ask her if she would come back but it's her decision not mine and if i had to face this thread, well i'd be finding another forum to get help not this one.
 
I'm not a fan of people posting links from other forums to continue the disagreement either. It's not what this forum is about.
 
i've emailed her to apologise and explain everything i said. it got heated and i really dont want to see another incident like a recent one most of us know about that got completely out of hand. x

I agree why bring arguments over from forum to forum, we are't that forum.

This is a pic gallery you comment on her pictures not start argumentsrolleyes

That's nice hopefully she will come back to address what has been said:)

don't these these playground bully type threads, it's not what where for to bully people till there to scared to come back what dos that say about us all?/ things get out of hand and they shouldn't, remember to think when a person is scared off the forum who suffers when they need help? the piggies;)

yeh, you're right. thankyou for enlightening us all. x"):red
 
I hope she comes back then, i'm sure we would love seeing new pics of her piggies and let her feel as though she can post them up with just pic comments-c

cos i love Strawberry Cupcake and want more picciesxoxoxoxo
 
i dont feel it was bullying, not really, i mean yes it was very frank and to the point, and yes things got very heated, but at the same time she did ask for most of it,i dont really feel i have anything to apologise for, i guess the truth hurts sometimes. surely she would have known what flack she would have come under for posting about having more guinea pigs ?/

if she does come back and explain how she will be managing with her new 3 piggies plus her bunnies, even when it does get tough due to her illness,then i will take back what i have said and apologise, but it hasnt been going on that long, and you would have thought if she has now sorted some way of getting her pets cleaned out etc now then it could have easily been amended and she could have kept her old piggies.

we shall see, i suppose only time will tell :)
 
Ok, it's not a "playground bully" post, if it was I would be calling a lot of names indiscriminately, linking to something she has said is not bullying it's fact. Vicki has also rehomed a number of buns too, not just the one in the post I linked to. My point in my post is to warn people not to rehome to her, although that said the animals are always bought from a breeder and then put into rescue and are not adopted from a rescue in the first place.

Why is speaking out for the animals always classed as wrong? You remain in your bubble, but you will find these animals rehomed.

The last time I came on here was to warn you about another member and you all told me I was wrong for doing so, amazingly all the pigs ended up at Hopper Haven a few months later, just like I said they would.

Don't fall out with Vickie this is not what I am saying, just think twice before rehoming to her.

Totally agree, it's the animals I feel sorry for.
 
I for one will not fall out with Vikki as she is my friend and i wouldn't fall out with any member as i may need to help or offer advice to them in the future i would not want to harbour bad feelins to them.

This is about helping piggies on here not posting links and qoutes from rabbits united without giving someone a chance to explain anythingrolleyes

I could have rehomed my piggies toi found it impossible to catch them for cleaning, nails etc but i worked around it and found help took a while but Vikki may have done the same, you dn't know but now she isn't coming back i guess you'll never know.

You do not know she will rehome these ones, you can not know oyur jsut assuming, people change and work on things.

Scaring people off the forum doesn't beneift anyone and certainly doesn't benefit the piggies :(
 
Nobody is expecting anyone to fall out with anyone. Vickie will not be scared off the forum by me, plus I am not normally on. I do think there is a little naivety going on here, but I really hope I am wrong, nothing would make me happier.

All I have done is highlight a situation and to let people know there is a history, if it comes to rehoming these pigs or if she wants to take more on.
 
everyone has very valid points. can i suggest debate over and everybody wins?
 
I never said just you, i have been told by vikki myself she will not come back because of what has been said on hre.

I think it's a good idea for debate over but i think Vikki should beallowed her say first:)

I have asked Vikki if she wants to come back and explain or if this thread should be locked to avoid anymore.
 
How do you lock threads?

I thought you said she said she was never coming back on here? So she couldn't have her say! Sorry, I can't keep up! lol x
 
Admin and mods lock them but i don't think it should be locked until vikki has her chance to explain why she has more pigs so it can settle the dust:)

I would like her to be able to have her say as in the future she amy really need help but be to scared to ask incase she gets these comments again, thats wy she needs her say:)
