New Piggie!

What gorgeous piggies you have! I want more but having 5 already wouldn't be able to cope. 5 is my limit.

Thank you! :) Awe! I would love to have 5 of them, I’m sure you have your hands full with all of them! Do you have boys or girls?
 
I have 2 boys and 3 girls. Velvet and Betsy were the originals and then after 35 days Velvet had Meg, Dennis and Christian just to complicate matters. I wanted 2 girls as I had 2 boys years ago and didn't want all the bother with boar bits again! Only I can buy (I didn't know about rescues then) a guinea pig on April Fools Day (1st April) and for her to be pregnant! I couldn't give the babies away cos I fell in love with them the moment I saw them. They were all so small and very fluffy.

I completely understand the boar business! My last group was 2 senior boys I adopted! I don’t want to mess with all that again either lol. That’s crazy! What a surprise I bet that was for you! Do you have pictures of your group? I love seeing everyone’s piggies!
 
Here they are for you @Hadams33

Nice! I love that bristly grey breed some people have! I'm gonna hope my dad will let me get girls about 2 months after having my 2 boars. Would be a lot of work having 4 pigs but I feel like 2 isn't enough

I had a herd of 6 once and I really didn’t find it to be too much work! We’re slowly climbing our way back up! :) My brother has Guinea Pigs and wrong sexing led to him having a boy and a girl so once his female gives birth, we are planning on taking a girl and naming her Josie (Josephine). If you think you can handle it, I say go for it. The more the merrier! :)
