Oh my god, that's so disappointing! :( Shame on the courier! :( I hope the contents were salvagable.

Sadly some of the items were not, as a bottle of piggie shampoo cracked and leaked over some edible items, so they can't be saved :(
 
Razzy - Crazy Cavies Guinea Pig Rescue, Florida
Razzy is a beautiful girl who was handed over to rescue because she was a girl! She was bought as a male, and when her owners realised she wasn't, then she got turned over.

Everything in here is mine?

Locket & Rylee - Helping All Little Things rescue, New Jersey
These gorgeous girl pigs each got their own present, but the rescue owner decided to have them open their gifts together.
Locket (skinny) has recently lost her best friend Mira, and is being helped through her grief.
Rylee (fluffy) was rehomed, but became so depressed on leaving the herd that she stopped eating when she got to her new home. On return to the herd, she started eating and popcorning again, so she will stay there permanently :)

Thank you for our lovely presents Santa!

Eddie - Orange County Cavy Haven, California
Eddie is a cuy (a breed of guinea pig that is much larger as they were bred for food; they are more skittish around people and very nervous), who has to live alone as he has constantly been bullied by any other partnerpig.

Thank you Santa, I love my cuddly friend too - he'll keep me company :)

Jeannie - Rescued Guinea Pigs, Indiana
Jeannie was a beautiful girl who came into rescue pregnant. She had been bred from back-to-back and her last litter resulted in the stillbirths of all her babies.

Thank you for my nice treats Santa, they make me very happy :)

Here are a couple of pigtures of our piggies with their parcels 1st Elliot and his parcel..cute card :) his foster mum, Ange has all the things and says thank you for the human pressie, she thinks she can guess what is in there but will wait for X mas day to open it :)

and Clark ( the Parcel was sent for Ivan but he is lucky enough to be in his new home so passed it on to Clark) ..first showing the Amazon gift card included.then..he was acting a bit nervous and I thought I wouldn't get a good shot of him, then he popped up to pinch one of the treat sticks and I just caught it before he hid in the box to munch it!

[you]Percy & Ozzy - The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary, Northamptonshire[/you]
Percy and Ozzy are recent additions to the rescue. Percy has dental issues which require regular work, and Ozzy came in with severe impaction. It has been treated but will take some time before he is fully back to normal.

What do you mean, it's not a hiding place?

Oh I don't know, all that whispering, reckon you were up to something! But I'm sure Santa will overlook it - you're just too cute to be annoyed with.

Pumpkin - North East Guinea Pig Rescue, Tyne & Wear
Pumpkin is a handsome boy who came into rescue from a backyard breeder in terrible condition. He is very nervous and skittish, so his foster mummy was unable to unwrap the presents with him as he would have freaked out. So instead we got this :)

Here are Pumpkin's lovely gifts :)

And a special Pumpkin smile to say thank you :)

So, I can finally say I posted MY Secret Santa present yesterday (cutting it close, I know!) - the last UK posting date for guaranteed Christmas delivery is TOMORROW so please do not leave it if you haven't posted yet! It needs to gooooo
If you are unable to guarantee your present will arrive for the holidays, then please do let me know, so I can pass onto the rescues who will be getting a late present.


**SANTA ON TOUR**
Since my last update, I have received notifications of presents received for:
* Garry & Rylan, Rescued Guinea Pigs
* Monty & Ben, The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary
* Mabel & Florence, The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary
* Henry, Sidney & Tweedledee, The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary
* Simon & Autumn, The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary
* Dafydd, Glynneath Guinea Pig Rescue
* Alessandro & Patch, Porsche's Rescue
* Gumball, Have a Heart Guinea Pig Rescue
* Oreo & Pepper, Have a Heart Guinea Pig Rescue
* Rocky, Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue
* Phoebe & Charlotte, Hunsbury Guinea Pig Rescue
* Rita & Margo, Milhaven Guinea Pig Rescue

On Tuesday I will be posting a list of EVERY single present that has been received up to that point. I really do not want to spend my entire Christmas Eve chasing presents as I did last year (I spent until 9-10pm working on SS, for around 6 hours' solid work, and missed out on time with my fiance and family), so if your present is not accounted for on that list, please, have it in your heart to wait until after the holidays and I will be back with you. x
