So you are the person to tell me how Wexford is doing ;) I am dead excited - cannot stop looking at his photo - my girls are gonna love him drool

BTW - how's Amelia doing?
 
Wexford is coming along really well actually. He does now come out of his pigloo when I'm in the room, although I can't look at him or he runs and hides again. He is eating like a horse, I have never known a piggy eat so much, and he has grown so much since he has been here. He has been to the vets and had a full health check and I'm happy to say that although he didn't have the best start he is perfectly healthy. He is off to the vets again on Thursday to see when he will be big enough to be neutered.

Jerry is a completely different story, he is a nervous wreck. I keep thinking he is going to hurt himself when I open the hutch door as he runs away so quickly he sometimes runs straight into the walls. Personality wise there has been no improvement at all although he is now eating and drinking well, so at least that is a start.

Amelia is about the same, she has only been on the panacur for a few days so it is going to take some time for it to work. I have been talking to laura about her and she has given me abit more hope that if the panacur doesn't work there are still options for her. Personality wise she is cheeky, confident and very loud.
 
How can anybody not want Wexford! xoxo
Hope they all recover well from the ops :)

We do have to keep pinching ourselves - i think it's a real privilege to be able to re-home a needy pig and it's all down to Vicky and Becky that we've been lucky enough to reserve Wexford and will be able to bring him home in 6wks time drooldrooldrooldrool

I just wish i had room for more - i'm thinking i shouldn't wear my long coat with the piggy sized pockets in when i go visit Wexford - who knows who i'll bring home..... ;);)
 
Wishing all boys and little Amelia a good recovery!

Lucky Wexford - and lucky you, Sodapops!

Hi Vic, after much thought have decided to go ahead and hopefully rehome a male guinea pig to keep our Minnie company. She's alot quieter since the loss of Jake and whilst more receptive to our company now (she previously seemed to prefer Jakes) feel that she will benefit from a new companion of her own kind.

Have left a message today with the RSPCA potentially enquiring about maybe Jerry or Harvey if either are still available? Was thinking maybe Harvey would be the better suited with Minnie being quite bossy when she wants and Jerry being so timid...

Couldn't see details about Freddie or Patch, wonder if you have any update on which neutered boars are still available?

Thanks :-)

Vic, I'm deliberating with what to do with Merry now my Pippin is gone. i don't want him to be lonely even though he gets tons of cuddles from us. i don't really want a young male with him as then when he passes in the next year or so I end up in the same state again.

How old is Jerry? Would he still bond with an old boy? My only other thought was keeping somebody else nearby instead of in the same cage. Rory & Ralph are gorgeous but a little dis concerting as Rory is the spitting image of Pippin. Not sure me or OH are ready for that! Do you have any more pairs of boys on the list to come in?
 
Hi,

Jerry is in the process of being reserved. We don't rehome males to live with other males however we will rehome a pair to live next door to Merry.

We have just taken in a stunning pair of boys that haven't yet been advertised, they are 12 month old coronets. They are slate grey and white, both are very friendly and confident. They are due to be neutered next week, so they can be rehomed 2 weeks after that, the boys get on great together and are currently living next to Rory and Ralph, without any problems. They are called Beano and Dandy.
 
Wow, they sound lovely. I will speak to the OH when the effects of a week of night shifts have worn off and we will see what we can do!
 
I met the coronet boys when i picked up Wexford - they are both stunning x)x)x) However, i do have a soft spot for Rory and Ralph and really wish they'd find their forever homes soon..... If only i had space for another 5ft cage!
 
x) Freddie is really handsome, I have a soft spot for crested piggles :)
 
Likewise I love rory and ralph, I can't believe no-one wants them! Too many pretty boys to choose from......
 
AWWW - I love coronets! What a shame I haven't got the space for another lot of piggies.
 
If only I was not halfway across the world from you, I would get Rory BY HOOK OR BY CROOK! He is SOOOOOO PRETTY!drooldrool

Aww, Rory and Ralph x) Can't stop thinking about these boys...:(
 
Vic, do you have any photos of these two lovely sounding crested boys? I would love to see them.

I still need to speak to OH but i'm in the dog house for being away all weekend and not having done enough house work! Maybe now is not the time to ask...
