Not very many as she is still rather jumpy and nervous, but as you can see she is rather gorgeous. We had called her Daisy, but scrummy (short for scrumptious) suits her and has kind of stuck.....

I can tell you she is a proper choocken legger, even seen a double one already, but as she is so jumpy, every time i went to get a pic she moved. She is serious chirper aswell, 4 o'clock yesterday morning she woke us up, it was so loud, i tried to record it, but me + bright mobile phone _ 4 o'clock in the morning dont mix.

Squeeeeeeee x) x)

Great news Scrummy (Daisy) is lovely x) love her nickname, it suits her very well... She is extremely pretty.

Congratulations she has found a perfect forever home with you, look forward to hearing and seeing more of her. And those chooken legs :))
 
He he, she is so adorable, she is still very squirmy when being handled, like picking her up is a nightmare and transit from cage to lap is tricky but when she is on you she's ok.

She looks really big in the pic's but she is still rather small, about 712g so not much smaller than minnie but minnie is a dwarf ha ha.

She is very relaxed though, often just plonks herself down and lays out, and usually trys to lay to eat :))
 
AWWWWW WELCOME SCRUMMY TO YOUR LOVELY FOREVER HOME XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


OMG i can't wait for her choooooken leggie pigtures x)
Whee hope she settles in beautifully and look forward to seeing many many pigtures over the coming years!
 
I have seen a difference in her confidence in the last 12 hours, she is slowly merging into the (always wanted to say this) "herd" :)) i have a heard - yay! Can i say herd for 4?

I think she is going to be quite a little madam, we are both smitten i must say. They are all at home alone all day as were at work, so i hope all is well. then the poor girl is really going to "love us" were off for nail trims, worming, health checks tonight :))
 
Thanks everyone. Looking forward to getting home and seeing them :))

Her nails and quite short but are needle sharp, i am covered in scratches, most have drawn blood, so i hope they just snip the very ends off.

OMG! Bet she's worth it though :)
 
Totally! She is so lovely, apart from being very jumpy which makes the others jumpy she is very calm, she doesn't run when you put your hand in to stroke her and as i said she just lays down when she is out for cuddles, but any household noises which are new to her, she darts straight away bless her, but she'll get used to them and calm down, i think the others are wondering what the fuss is about :))

Awwww x) x) She sounds like she is going to be a very fussy piggie, she is really beautiful. Lucky you and lucky her!
 
Well the trip to the nasty lady with the nail clippers hasn't effected her one bit, she was excellently well behaved (ehem.... more so that the other 3 *cough*) she had the very ends nipped off which has made a slight difference, but she is in very good health apparently.

She is settling in nicely, better so than when toffee first joined them. Cant wait to get their bigger cage sorted for them.

More pics coming soon i promise! xx
