WOW, the guinea pigs here were all very lucky and received some huge parcels of which I am very grateful and humble for. The thought and imagination that went into them and packaging them up was great.

This is Whiskey opening his present, he is now staying at the rescue and I have paired him up with another piggie who has a big lump (has been tested by a Vet) and who is also staying at the rescue. Whiskey is a biter, we are not sure he can see that well and may well use his mouth to test out whether to eat something or not but he isnt the most rehomeable piggie for this reason so now he has a man friend and is very happy.

Whiskey is the brown and grey Abby and his friend Speedo is the mainly black piggie.

Whiskey had a personal letter with some pocket money to buy carrots, he also bough some broccoli as that is Speedos favourite veg

Many many thanks Secret Santa x
Love Whiskey (and speedo)

(more to follow......)
 
Aww they look so interested with all their gifts. They are so cute. x)
 
Just wonderful :) thank you ever so much for sharing these lovely pigtures x)
 
Merry Christmas piggies! How thoughtful of Whiskey to buy Speedo's favourite veg! Not everypig would be so considerate!
 
And Coco received her presents very excitedly!

Coco is a lovely piggie (aren't all piggies) who is now a resident here with 5 girls and XP (neutered male) Coco had a huge abcess on her rear leg which took daily treatment to get it better and she use to take it all in her stride. She is also Xp's favourite girl and when he wasnt very well recently she came indoors with him to keep him company.

Anyway, here she is opening her lovely presents, many thanks Secret Santa

Quick update. Jenny has been poorly this last week so has been unable to post photos. I know that she has pics of Just J and Mabel & Olive opening their presents. Buggs has also received a present but I don't think it's been opened yet.

Hopefully, she'll be feeling better soon and will have time to post. :)
 
Poor Jenny, she's poorly and yet she's still on facebook sorting out rescue stuff! Hehe, she's so good :) hope she feels better soon!
 
Finally getting around to putting up the photos from Christmas.

Here is Just J with Just J Junior ready to open their presents

Just J had a lot of little brown bags that had been stuffed full of hay, he was told he was going to have to share them with his friends but was allowed to open one bag and stuff his face.

Just J very busy stuffing face....present unwrapping had to be put on hold

They received a lovely warm fleecy tunnel, Just J Junior was trying it out whilst Just J stood guard at the entrance with my hand making sure he didnt fly off the sofa.

WOOOHOOOOO! More pigtures! How exciting and what a lovely lot of presents! Jenny is there any hay left or have they demolished it all?! :))
 
It's so exciting to see Just J with his new little friend too. He's been a long time in rescue and Junior has given him a whole new lease of life. x
 
no hay and alot of the brown paper bags got munched on, trodden on, wee-ed on in true piggie style.

I'm better but have a lingering cough! the piggies are all well though!
 
Mabel and Olive opening their presents

Mabel and Olive are 2 older ladies who are very bonded, they do everything together and really appreciated their pressies, thank you.

One more present from Secret Santa

My apologies as we are now in February but the piggies had one more present to open, this was addressed to Buggs who had been here along time, he was overlooked but now that I offer adult male to adult male bonding he has been bonded with another male and they went off into the sunset. I had to choose another piggie so a more recent addition is Guiness. He is about 4 yrs old, adult owner got bored with looking after him. He is currently in the hospital area as he has blisters on his willy. He took a dislike to the photographer and bit her but he still deserved opening his presents.
Thank you to the Secret Santa.

Running away, he had had his carrot, done his poo so he was off!

Buggs was sent a personal handmade card, not sure if Guiness was more interested in carrot but I was very impressed

Sadly Guiness was getting bored, I wasn't so this photo was staged with a hand to grab if he decided he was off.

This photo wasn't staged, Guiness was having a good look

This is Buggs personal card with a message inside, so beautiful, I still have it up in the kitchen!

Guiness would like to say a few words!

Aww! Thanks for finding the time to post Jenny, despite the manic rescue at the moment!
