Not the best photo but the little sod ran off whilst we were cleaning them out and promptly hid under the corner unit!!

Little monkey :)) he blends in quite well, it's a good job you saw him or there'd have been some frantic searching going on!
 
A ginger pig with red eyes..... hmm i have one of those and she is trouble too, think it must be the red eyes bringing the devil out in them.
 
What a scamp! My piggies love hiding under the wardrobe as well!
 
Philbert's name is an interesting story, bit long winded but hey!

We collect Pocket Dragons, they stopped producing them back in 2006 but before then you may have seen them in H Samuels etc. There was also a TV series called "Pocket Dragon Adventures" Philbert (It may be spelt Filbert) is a character from there.

Philbert is technically Philbert the second

Some years ago, when I kept guinea pigs before, my friend who ran a rescue took in a number of pregnant sows, she offered me the chance to have one of them at our house, let the sow give birth and she would take the babies on. She thought it would be a good thing for me to experience. Sadly it was a complicated birth, mum ended up not pulling through and we hand reared the baby. He was tiny and for a while I carried him about everywhere with me and hand fed him. He was called Philbert after the aforementioned dragon character. Sadly he died young but due to his start in life it wasn't unexpected.

The current Philbert was called "Nike" when we got him as he has an unusual hair growth pattern. I said to hubby he reminded me of the first Philbert and I broke a self imposed rule of mine of not having two animals with the same name.
 
naughty little piggie but i bet you loved your free time, lol
it's normally my hamsters that escape
 
What a cutie! My girl likes to bury herself in my hair and hope I won't find her :)p
I'm so glad you managed to capture this photograph, it's adorable :))
