I haven't got photobucket right now so I've had to use my Flickr account.
These boys have come to me very neglected, they're a well bonded pair and quite gentle but their previous owner obviously hasn't taken the time to care for them. The poor piggies nails are so long they're curved under, I'm surprised they can walk. I've been told that they are both around 12 months.

We're on the way to my vets now do they can have a full MOT ;)
I hope everything is ok with them.

Kevin is the long haired piggie (not sure if Sheltie or Peruvian) and Richie is a crested I think, although it isn't very visible.
 
What pretty piggies. Good luck for the vet.
 
Everything at the vets was fine, for the most part.
Unfortunately though I've just felt a lump in Richie's abdomen. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about but I'm taking him back to the vets in a week or so (when my mum gets paid, just incase we get a big bill).

On a more positive note they seem to have settled well, apart from Richie trying to sort his territory out by rumbling every so often. They're going to have a nice bath tomorrow and some lovely lap time with their new mummy.
 
Aww bless they do look like they are a bit scared. Well the good news they will get looked after properly now.

Welcome to your new home boys! :)
 
WELCOME KEVIN AND RICHIE TO YOUR LOVELY FOREVER HOME XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

ooooh whee will have all paws crossed for little Richie that the lump isn't anything to worry about! :...xoxo
 
Awww, they are beautiful! Wishing Richie good vibes for his lump :... keep us updated!
 
Aren't they gorgeous, if a tad scared looking. Good on you for taking them. I am sure you will look after them well.
 
They are beautiful x) Lots of healing vibes to Richie x x
 
They are beautiful but a pain!
They've been hiding under my bed for the past 10 minutes. Next time I'm cleaning them out they can go in the carrier mallethead
