Junior Guinea Pig
I got new pigs and I've been so over the moon with them I forgot to introduce them!
So after Tico passed away, Cookie needed some friends. When the local rescue posted three gorgeous girls (ok so I was looking for a pair but three is close enough to two, right?) named Oreo, Biscoff and Pumpkin then very next day it just felt like fate.
Cookie went to the rescue to meet them and was apparently a perfect gentlepig. After just a few hours in a bonding pen with them, Sarah was confident they could go home together.
I have renamed the girlies but I'm still thinking of them as the biscuit barrel. I present to you (clockwise from top) Stella, Eskarina and Tiffany!
They're absolutely gorgeous young ladies. Tiff is Stella's surprise daughter and is just 4 months old. She's the most adorable whirlwind! Stella is super confident while Esk is happy to be quiet in a corner as long as she has a nest and some food. So far she's the only one to eat on my lap - embracing the mindset of 'it might be scary, but at least I'll die with a full stomach'. All of them will take pea flakes from my hand now (with appropriate announcing, in some cases) and they are piling on the grams.
I should also introduce the handsome Mr Cookie at this point. He arrived to be husboar to Tico as the only pig that could put up with her. He is a truly special pig it seems - Sarah at the rescue was concerned that a four-way bonding would be complicated but he fitted in with the ladies straight away! He backs off when they tell him to but will stand up for himself. He makes sure they all have the biggest egos, telling them just how sexy he thinks they are all the time, but gives them space when they ask.
At five years old he thinks all his Christmases and birthdays have come together and he is now absolutely exhausted from chasing three little tornadoes around the cage. He is very glad to demonstrate things like taking veg and begging at the bars though - such a caring gentlepig and an amazing role model. He even cleans up when they've rejected New Veg. So selfless.

Cookie is very lucky x
, I couldn’t work out Stella. My first rats were Esme, Gytha and Magrat (3 witchy ladies), we’ve also had Sardines and Peaches
