Scrapper is getting a new wife (or four!)

[pig in the city]

So many of you remember Scrapper who was born at the rescue and had to be hand reared
www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/smallest-baby-is-struggling.125405/page-3#post-1719019
He sadly recently lost his long term wife pig Lili. Here they are snuggling together in Lili's last few weeks



Scrapper was looking very forlorn so urgent action was needed. I tried him with a new arrival, Esther, a 5 year old sow, but they really didn't like each other. So plan B was to try him with a herd of 4 sows who had recently lost their boar.
I was a bit anxious as Dolly, the oldest sow really didn't like Scrapper when she met him before.
So this afternoon they all went in a run on the grass together and l anxiously watched and waited. Happily things went very smoothly and Dolly wasn't bothered at all by Scrappers presence.
Here they are as l collected them up to come inside


From left to right we have Bryony, Darci, Kylie, Dolly and Scrapper

Aren't they a lovely group!

So tonight they are in a temporary pen until l sort out their new home. Hopefully they will all be best buddies soon

Just adorable- everyone of them.

Oh my! Scrapper must feel like he has won the lottery!

Very sorry for your loss, though.

Yes it's sad to lose a piggy that you have cared for since she was a baby (she came into the rescue with vitamin C deficiency) Lili was always a tiny girl but lived for 4 and a half years and survived an operation for thyroid cancer.

Sad news about Lili. But it great news that Scrapper will have 4 companions to play sardines with and to keep him occupied.

 

[YvonneBlue]

So sorry to hear of the loss of your piggy.
Great that Scrapper had been accepted by such lovely ladies.

So pleased Scrapper has found a new herd of Wives to live with, hope to see lots more pigtures over the forthcoming weeks x

Lucky Scrapper, I'm glad him and his new friends are getting on well. It's never nice to a lose a piggy but great to see the lonesome pig bond with new friends.
