Here are some pigtures of Stan with his new wives :)).

The bonding has been going pretty well, all three took to him straight away, although my boss pig is a bit standoffish with him and has now decided to rumble and teeth chatter a little when he comes near. But fingers crossed it will settle down! I haven't put in the hideys yet as Jammy can be very possessive and territorial of the tunnels and the little house they have. To the point she often chases the other two girls whenever they dare to pass. So I will slowly introduce these over time. They currently have a few cardboard boxes and tunnels instead, which I'm sure is a great delight as they are now demolishing them!

Here's Stan :)) Please excuse our horrific carpet :p we moved only a few months ago, so we've still decide on a new one!

All four together, though shortly after this we had an escapee! Little Dodger decided investigating under the sofa and into the bookcase was far more interesting than hanging around with the others.

Tempted back with some mint leaves!

Although still very shy, Stanley kept coming back over to me as if for reassurance, sniffing my hand and then wandering back to the girls. I have never seen a guinea popcorn so high as he did when he first saw them! I wish I had been ready with my phone to record it. But I was so nervous all I could do was concentrate on them! He has been popcorning a little more this morning, when veg came, and Dodger was doing her usually breakfast lap around her cage, Biscuit wheeking away and Jammy being the troll that she is :)p

Will keep you all updated on their progress!

I need to mention a special thanks to Amanda1801 for coming all the way to meet me in Birmingham to transport little Stanley to me! I can't tell you how much it meant to me. Also to Sharon at The Littlest Rescue for allowing this little bundle of gorgeousness to come live with me and my girls (and the boys next door!).
 
Lovely piggies. So glad they are all getting on well. :) BTW I quite like your carpet- it's retro! :)
 
I'm so pleased to see Stan in his new home, he really has found a great place to live. So much better than the life he had before being rescued.
Here's his rescue thread - http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?98494-Piggy-Bank-UK-Himi-Rescue

This is what he lived in, so the carpet isn't so bad ;)

Thank you for giving this special piggy a home.

I have been following the thread closely! Seeing where he came from is heartbreaking, he is such a special little lad :(. I've developed a very deep soft spot for him, very quickly.
 
What a wonderful happy ending for Stanley, he is very lucky to be living with such gorgeous wifepigs. Thank you for the update.
 
Sounds like Stanley is a lucky piggy after his earlier life. And the four of them together are gorgeous
 
What awful conditions that he came from, I bet he thinks the carpet is great. Glad to hear that he is settling in well, spoilt piggie from now on, he deserves to be after such a terrible start.
 
Glad to hear Stan settling in well. It's always great to see a rescue piggie find a wonderful forever home. I'm sure he is very happy with you and his new lady friends

Beautiful photos x)
 
Yay! Thank you so much for the update on little Stanley! It's so lovely to see him happy in a great home with his wives!
 
Oh that is shocking how could anyone mistreat an animal so much : ( he is such a beautiful piggy x
 
Thankyou everyone ") I'm quite smitten with him! Think my girls are too, he nibbles their ears making them shriek, but they all follow him round like a lost little lambs. Dodger likes to nose to bum piggy train with him the most. I often find her squeezed up against him in a hidey! Will post some more pigtures soon :))
 
Congratulations Stanley on your new forever home :)
OMG those conditions........... :)>>>
He's one very lucky pigglie to have found a wonderful forever home with gorgeous wives and a loving family :)
