Rehomed piggies of 2011 - post yours!

[Raven]

I adopted the gorgeous Mario and Luigi from Cardiff GPR in September.

 

[Lady Kelly]

Ok lets start with Bumble (ginger and white) and Bea (grey and white) who I adopted from Beech Tree Bunnies in January...

And then came Peter who had been adopted a couple of times and tried with boars but always got bullied. My ex met Abi_nurse from here and picked him up, a week later he was neutered and in June he finally moved in with Bumble and Bea...

Then came a bit of trouble... Bumble was really cuddly and Bea likes being left alone so the idea of getting Peter was to give someone for Bumble to cuddle up with... however Peter and Bea seemed to fall in love and left Bumble out on her own. So after splitting from my ex and moving into my own flat in September I adopted Jemima from a rescue/boarders just outside Birmingham.

And last but not least I saw an ad on Gumtree trying to rehome 5 guinea pigs. I made contact to pass on lots of rescue details but as we all know from posts on here most rescues are full at present. After 3-4 weeks the person emailed again explaining that he had just one pig left as he had managed to find homes for the rest and would I be able to take him. At the end of November Buddy came to stay with me and I am hoping to rehome him in the new year, after quarantine he is now living in a cage next to my tribe but I still worry about him being lonely.

I joined the forum to find some new friends for my lonely boys. Mission accomplished, and then some! We've rehomed five piggies in two months!
In November we got baby Finley from Palace Piggie Rescue as a friend for Darwin (my avatar pig). Here's a pic of my little black sheep (hope it works!)

Then in the space of two weeks at the beginning of December our piggie family exploded. If you follow Suzy's Boar Dating thread you'll know that Tennant and Frankie were paired up with two ginger babies from the 'cats' takeaway' mums at Glynneath Guinea Pig Rescue. I've stolen Suzy's pic's, because she's much better at it than I am So here's Frankie and Columbus....

And Tennant and Napoleon...

Finally, we had a little surprise rehome - two little girls that a family member could no longer care for. So now we have Amelia and Isabelle too!

I just want to say thank you SO much to those who welcomed me and pointed me in the right direction on here, and all the dedicated rescues both on the forum and off - you've made our pets so happy and you do such good things for unappreciated piggies. xx>>>

[first_time_piggie_mum]

Well....My gorgeous little boys have been here just short of a week and are now starting to relax a little

Gino - the loudest little pig who is very cheeky and jumps higher than any pig Ive seen!

And the lovely little Jamie, who is so sweet and starting to find his courage a little now. Hes going to be long haired drool

Both from Suzy, but had been staying with Debbie at the Excellent Adventure Sanctuary because Gino had some problems with his teeth.

[Mabel'sMum]

I became a first time piggie mum in March this year when Miss Mabel came to live with me. I'd heard about her from a friend in work, she'd had 4 homes in her first 5 months of life and was living temporarily with my friend while she looked for a new home for her. My heart went out to her...how could she not be wanted?! So MM came here...

I then took her to Suzy's rescue for piggie dating to find a pal.... after deciding she didn't like the first 2 girls she met (rolleyes) she finally came home with Doodle-Pig! in August...

My 2 girls are wonderful and I cannot imagine ever having a life without piggies now!

 

[pawsup]

I was very proud to give a forever home to Tango and Lacey back in August

[MrsWilsoncroft]

What beautiful photos
Really cheered me up tonight x

 

[NatalieMT]

I got Ed from Walsall RSPCA, around June I think! I love him SO much, he is very awesome indeed. He still hasn't learnt the difference between food and fingers though...

He was quite laid back when I got him but he's become very friendly, very quickly. He's recently joined in climbing out of the cage when it's opened!

 

[Little Piggles]

It really is fantastic to see so many beautiful pigs have found fantastic new homes x>>

Natalie MT Oh I do love Ed he was the loveliest Guinea pig and I was proud to be his piggy taxi!

I adopted Suilven from The Potteries at 3 1/2 weeks old in May as a companion for Merry after the loss of his brother Pippin in april. He's been amazingly good fun and unfortunately he is now alone and looking to adopt a new friend who will feature in the 2012 list!

Natalie MT Oh I do love Ed he was the loveliest Guinea pig and I was proud to be his piggy taxi!

I am glad you were able to drive him up and down the country, otherwise I'm not sure what would have happened to him! He's currently very happy with his old and grumpy wifepig ha ha ha (he's like double her size but she wears the trousers). I have plenty of future wives for him too because Pickle is about 7 and a half years old now, they make sure a lovely pair though. He loves being handled and waddling around the bedroom, but she hates it, they're like polar opposites yet it works! Just united over their love of food!

 

[Suzygpr]

Ooooh yes Ed - yummmmm and Pootle too - My pignapping list is growing. Mwahahahaha!

 

[JayceeStar]

Pumpkin, who I adopted in October this year from Woodsde Rescue to be part of my herd:

Maisie and her babies Remy, Bumble and Jasper, who I took home from work in July after Maisie became pregnant back-to-back. I still have them all and will be looking to rehome them all in the new year. Babies are now 6 months old but still adorable:

And of course the boys that Suzy helped me to get out from work who were suffering from Fungal - most of whom now have fantastic, loving homes Thank you Suzy!

My 4 rescue piggies from this year are

Firstly the gorgeous Gregory (formerly Pumpkin) who came from Bramley GP Rescue but was previously at Milhaven with Joanne

And his best friend the very big Sampson who is very macho but a total softy and also from Milhaven via Bramley! (sorry it is sideways againmallethead)

And then from Camp Nibble we adopted Tea Cake to be a friend for a separated boar called Sudoku and he is lovely

And last I took 2 trains, a taxi and a bus to get this beautiful little boar Thorn from Milhaven in Keighley to be a friend for Cheeky!

So it has been an eventful year for my guinea pig family! Happy Christmas to all the rescues, especially the Yorkshire tribe - Milhaven, Camp Nibble and Bramley and also to everyone who has rehomed because we help keep the rescues going
