Junior Guinea Pig
Hi....I'm New to this site although I have used it for reference on many occasions since acquiring my piggies pigs. I've adopted 2 girls from my friends children who had lost all interest in them and they were stuck in a garage everyday with no one looking in on them. They came to me in July last year while they were away and never went back. I think they're happy pigs now....they have the life of riley......pampered doesnt cover it. 4 different cages, according to the weather conditions, heat pads, breakfast and dinner......ive even been known to go out with a pair of scissors and cut the grass......as they miss it so much in these winter months! :o. We've had a few issues over the last few months......Bruisie had a very badly infected eye....it came on so quickly.....when the vet said she only had a 10% chance of saving it I was completely devastated. Well 6 visits to the vets and 3 weeks of antibiotics every 6 hours and I did it! She's back to her normal self. Ive never had pigs before so it's all new for me and having this forum to find answers has been great.....so now I am a member hopefully I can pass some of new experiences to other new piggy pig owners.
