Pippa and Pixie were the last 2 piggies left in a shop and as soon as I saw Pippa I had to have her, she looked ghastly thin obviously wasn't getting the right diet at all or had fallen victim to overcrowding and not getting enough food.
I took her to the vet the next morning and she gave her a clean bill of health just very skinny and obviously in need of fattening up, plenty of veg, hay and a decent quality guinea food.
I weighed her after the vet trip, she was only 350g poor wee girl, she's so sweet and very vocal she likes to let you know when she wants her veg or when she hears you getting a treat she will let you know she wants something hehehehehe.
I weighed her again today (a week later) and she's now 381g so she's putting on weight nicely, by comparison Pixie is 481g and looks smallish for an 8-9 week old but am sure she'll do well with the diet here too. When she first arrived home I took a picture of her on my camera so I can record her progress
and her's her sister Pixie
Pixie is a bit less shy, very friendly and outgoing - she is a bit of a mischief maker lol
