Oh they are gorgeous! I love them all Strawberry Cupcake is very pretty! x)
 
Ahhhh they are just gorgeous.
Hope you have lots of fun with them.
 
Vikki they are very cute indeed..little piggies always are:)

but have to say I'm suprised you have got more pigs after your previous experience?

Hope these bring you much joy
 
They are all supercute! I would have been tempted to take all 6 (cool names by the way)
 
aw, they are very cute. Which is which? I'm guessing I like Marble best. :))

I hope you find girl piggies cleaner than boy piggies though. :)
 
They are GORGEOUS piggies! :)

I must say, I was VERY surprised to see that you had gotten more after how you felt about the last piggies you had, though! :{
 
Very cute.

Why have you got more guinea pigs though after you decided they weren't the pets for you and rehomed them? You actually said you hated them. You did this twice. And with rabbits also.

Shame rescues have to mop up your inability to make a decision and stick to it :(
 
Not again poor piggies

Are you forgetting how you said this http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showpost.php?p=2209799&postcount=13

and this

Why are people that take on animals and rehome them when they get bored, slapped on the back?

These pigs are sure to be seen in a rescue shortly

If anyone would like to read the whole thread.

I appreciate I will get banned for this, but I am so tired of seeing the same people time after time, take on animals just to put them in rescues a few months down the line, the rescues are already bursting. :(

I hope these links are left on as we rescues find it increasingly frustrating that people do this..and we cannot openly say so on forums..
to watch others say "how lovely" and "lucky piggies" or similar when we know the owners history is hard.
I wanted to post links in my thread earlier but didn't want to risk being banned
 
:o:o:o ive just read the other threads, you hate piggies, why on earth go out and buy more? these 3 are destined to be sold/rehomed in a couple of months when you yet again get bored of keeping them clean and healthy, how irresponsible can one person be? grrrr this has to be the most pathetic person on these boards, and judging by the 'i hate piggies' that she wrote, these were brought as they are cute and havent needed a clean out yet, just wait til they dare to poop! i dare say i will be banned for this but hey,its worth it, this person needs to be told and needs to wake up to the fact that animals are not toys to be thrown to one side and given up at the first hurdle, that they are hard work, do cost a lot of money, and rely on us for their every need. so far 1 giant bunny has been rehomed due to either not having the money for larger accomodation, but also not being able to give him the care due to her illness, daft considering that a hutch is a hutch, whether it be large or small its all the same scrape it out, refill it, fair enough if it was only due to not being able to give him the large accommodation he needed,but she wouldnt stick to one reason or the other(and is now after another rabbit too), rehoming more piggies, due to one living on his own and now wanting to bond him with another, easier to rehome, and then something about, wait a minute, let me think, oh ye, I HATE PIGGIES :o

I'm sorry but i feel very strongly about this, i have just had to rehome my piggies due to us not being able to afford them with prices of everything going through the roof, yes it is a pain in the butt going out in all weather to clean them out, getting soaked through as its peeing it down when clean out day comes (though i loved doing it in the rain coz when i let them back in i loved to think of them all snuggled and warm with it being so miserable outside:)) at the end of the day, does it matter if they poop all over the place or in 1 spot like some bunnies, they still need cleaning! if i had the money i would have never even considered rehoming my piggy family, i miss them terribly, but i know they have gone to a better home, with a lovely supply of fresh veggies and the best of everything, which i could have in no way given them with the price of life increasing and 2 young children to feed/clothe. there is no way i would have given them up purely because i hated cleaning up after them! all i can say is i hope you have grown up enough to realise that your help in rehoming will stop if you continue to abuse the help offered to you, I'm sure people on here will realise that just like a petshop, if the ones you have now are removed from your care, more will appear grrrr

good luck to these beautiful 3 piggies, i hope they manage to keep their new home this time :)
 
oh and unfortunately i am 100% expecting to be banned from the forum, but i dont see why a pro-rescue site should have to sit on our hands and not say what we think when someone like this posts on here. people who openly admit to never wanting to rescue and who swap animals like musical pets have no place on a rescue forum!

lol.gif
I hate guinea pig poops
icon_evil.gif
I found them a great home with someone who loves them far more than I ever would, can provide a better life for them and does not mind there poops.

second thing Theo my giant bun was being kept in hutch far to small after I rescued him off a breeder. If I hadn't of took him in he would be dead by now. But in the end I was being cruel keeping him in a hutch far to small with a run that was not even big enough to do a decent binky. He loves his new home, he belongs there. Thats why I rehomed him

thrid thing, I'm having minor budget problem. I'm finding the SS is not value for money so have ordered some allan and paige. I buy Kale because its cheap, the cabbage goes off quick and I have no idea what spring green is. they have a big supply of hay, I bulk buy that and it cost £30 but lasts me forever, yet they get a huge pile night and mornig and handfuls when needed. I also bulk buy my straw. they are about to be vacs, yes I'm a bit slow at getting this done and yes I did have to save, but I now have my budget under control (even if the worst happens, and I'm less money). I have two buns insured, to buns I put money in a pot for. My bonded pair are neutured/spayed. the money to get holly done is here, so is the money to hollys husbun neatured. There is also money to get Baby sorted out with everything she needs.

Yes my methods of getting buns are not to everyones liking, but thats the way I do things, my life and I'll do what I want to do, good or bad

So if anyone does no gornal wood and could collect a bun for me PM for more details

oh my god. you absolute fool
 
I agree,no-one posting the truth should be banned, that would be unfair. They aren't trying to cause trouble, merely to open peoples eyes to what is going on. Do we know where they came from, hopefully not a member of this forum, they'd surely be gutted!
 
I agree Lucy. I just hope Vikki has learnt from the animals she has had in the past and has changed her views on Guinea Pigs.
 
Yeah... but.... can someone enlighten me as to what lesson would be learnt from keeping guinea pigs and learning that you hate them? Surely the lesson would be not to have any more?
 
Well seeing as Vikki hasn't posted her reasons for getting more pigs we can only assume that it was not a comment that was meant.

But who knows it is frustrating for rescues to have this happen.
 
i think she has ME and is UNABLE to care for the pigs when she has a bad time with her condition. maybe she should remember this when she buys animals? i can understand her wanting them, but she should also help herself health wise as stress will NOT help her ME.

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.
 
its ME she has, and if she gets bad she shouldnt have any pets that may not be properly cared for if she gets bad, she manages to sort her rabbits apparently,yet her guinea pigs were too much?/ at the end of the day if she struggles like she says she shouldnt get any more pets, and if she doesnt and just rehomes them for the hell of it, whether it be due to cleaning out too often or just not liking them any more, she shouldnt have any more pets, moral of the story, shes not responsible enough to own animals! well not in my eyes anyway.
 
agreed on that one i suppose, she needs a place to come to to ask for advice,i will just keep my fingers crossed for these little guys, hopefully she ahs learnt from her previous mistakes and will grow to love them all and keep them on regardless.
