Squeak was a bit shy with all the attention. He started by checking out the box his presents came in.

Come on out Squeak... look at all the lovely presents you've got

He wasn't sure about posing for pictures but he was sure that he loved the blue pigloo

'Can I stay in here? It's my favourite colour'

The note says that his slave can eat the chocolate... so happy faces all round

Thankyou Secret Santa. Squeak loves his presents. xx>>>
 
Ziggy was very interested in the present with his name on

He thought he might try and hide under it

Oh Ziggy, that's not what you're meant to do (he was very happy in there though)

Basil was astonished when Jenny said the huge parcel was for him

There were lots of presents and he didn't quite know where to start

The slaves helped open the parcels...

Basil was very generous and said some of his friends could try out one of his presents

Thankyou Secret Santa. Basil loves his presents and took the bed back to his hutch with him. xx>>>
 
I'd just like to add another huge thankyou to all the Secret Santas who sent presents to the piggies at Crawley Guinea Pig Rescue. The gifts are so generous and thoughtful, and very gratefully received.
It is truly heart-warming to know that so many people are thinking of piggies in rescue. I feel privileged to have taken part in the scheme, both as a santa and in helping open the presents at the rescue.
Many thanks also to x-vic-x for organising the secret santas.

You're all stars. xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>
 
Could I also just add that we had a fab day opening all the presents, all very thoughtful and will make a huge difference to the piggies. Flips has said all I wanted to say and thank you to her too for putting up the photos. (I am currently vetsecting 2 piggies that have come in on their way up to Jo at the Coventry rescue)

I keep going to the table full of pressies and having a little look :-)
 
LAUREL and HARDY were very lucky and spent the Christmas holidays in a foster home. They took their secret santa presents with them. They got a big box of Timothy hay, some wagg nuggets and some flaked peas. Another present has also now arrived here for them - a lovely fleece tube which they will have when they come back to me. Their fosterer has sent a photo of them enjoying their nuggets and flaked peas. They would like to thank their secret santa for their thoughtful Christmas gifts.

I have received notes from Royal mail saying I have a parcel for FRED and also another parcel, I'm not sure who that is for. I shall go to the depot tomorrow to collect them

Thanks
 
Okay here are some very late photos from me of pressies - very few of piggies sorry - I am hopeless compared to everyone else but I promise they were VERY much appreciated by the rescue piggies here - they have had a fine ol time opening presents and eating snacks.

Matilda enjoying her cosy bed and 'evidence ' of use in the other!

Sam & snoopy's lovely gifts!

Please forgive my mess in the last 2! It's been insane here over Christmas trying to fit it all in and keep everyone happy - the house came last!

Anyway I wanted to again extend a HUGE thank you - it's clear that the people sending gifts to the pigs here know me, know the rescue and know what everyone likes - every gift was thoughtful, kind, considered and suited perfectly. So thank you so very very much

:)p:)

The postie managed to get here again yesterday to deliver a second Australian surprise. This time it was for DaddyPig's nextdoor neighbour Dyson.

They were nominated together as they live side by side - both are extremely aggressive boys yet live harmoniously with bars to separate them, they love the odd swearing session and on their bad days they chew the bars just to annoy each other. Most of the time they potter about their cages quite happily and if one decides to have a bite to eat or a drink the other thinks it must be a good idea and copies them.

Here's Dyson getting his secret santa this morning.

Humph - and just what do you expect me to do with that!

THANKYOU Suzy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I totally missed this thread before (I was not on a lot before Christmas, due to stress at work, then nasty flu and also poorly Ben (RIP). Now I found it and was gobsmacked to see all those pigtures - so many happy piggies, so many fortunate rescues, and so many generous Secret Santas. Well done!
 
It's been a wonderful thread, and so lovely to see piggies with their presents.

I was a weee bit disappointed that one of my Secret Santas didn't acknowledge my parcel, and hasn't shown pictures (although I have found out from Vicky that thankfully the parcel did arrive, which I guess was the main thing) but perhaps they have been too busy. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of the other one I'd sent to.
 
I just wanted to say that all of the Secret Santas for Guinea Pig Rehoming Norfolk were absolute angels! Although we opened all of the presents for the photo shoots for each parcel, I saved everything up until Christmas eve and then a friend's 5 year old daughter came over to help distribute the presents to the guinea pigs, it was great fun and she made sure everyone got plenty of gifts. Our Secret Santas also included chocolates for us, which was a lovely thought :)

Thanks so much to Vicky for organising this, I'm sure other rescues will agree that with so many guineas, lovely treats like this are a rarity - although our guineas get plenty of food, hay and veg, they don't get special treats very often due to the sheer amount of guineas here (40+) making it impractical. But they certainly enjoyed their Christmas!

That's why it's such a treat to be able to be a Secret Santa, knowing that the piggies will get a little something extra at Christmas. It must be very hard work for Vicky to organise it, but it's tremendous fun.
 
It certainly makes you feel all warm inside when you see the piggies enjoying their threats that you got them. Also knowing how much these little gifts make such a huge difference is fabulous i have enjoyed looking through this thread.x)
 
I just loved seeing the piggies enjoying their presents. I'm looking forward to doing it all again next year :)

I hope that the Santa's still waiting for pics will eventually see them xx

Couldn't agree more with you Sophie :) We all make sure piggies in our care get plenty of essential foods etc but treats etc are definitely a rarity and very much enjoyed by all the piggies (and bunnies) here.

Wheeee all had a wonderful time (and shed many tears - me, not the piggies) opening the secret santa parcels and we were all completely overwhelmed by the generosity and thoughtfulness of the santas.

Hello - I have now received parcels for FRED and REUBEN. The postman did try to deliver them before New Year (29/12) but I was away and have just picked them up.

Reuben is lucky and has gone to a home so I will share his present with others.

I will get photos of TRIBBLE and STRINGFELLOW, FRED and REUBEN's presents this weekend.

Thanks for your kindness secret santas!

Layla
 
I'd just like to say a great big Thank You to all the secret santa's that gifts to the piggies in our care.
I'm sorry that you've had to wait for the photo's but firstly I had problems with the cold effecting the batteries in the camera and then when I'd finally managed to get that sorted the computer crashed with a blue screen :(
Anyway I hope you enjoy these.

The first parcel arrived addressed to Bucatini and Gemelli

Gemelli read the card and it definitely said that it was for them

Special K's was the next to arrive and gave us a giggle as it was addressed to MR Special K. I did ask the o/h if he's had to sign for it but apparently not.:))

He started off by climbing all over it
