My auntie had one that lived until she was 10. My oldest was Fuzz who was 7.

I roughly calculate that the first year of a piggys life is about equal to the first twenty of ours. From then each year is ten years so Fuzz would have been 80 in piggy years if my calculating is anywhere near right. I have not found anywhere else that tells you what they are in piggy years. I came up with this by looking at how long piggies could live for.

Does anyone else think that this is a reasonable way of calculating it? It means that the average life expectancy of 5-8 years means they would be 60-90 in piggy years.

My sister and I had a piggy (Twiggy) when i was young. He was 10 when he died.

I also rehomed a piggy (Jimmy) from a childrens farm who was 8 years old when I brought him home, and he lived another year with me.

But most of mine have lived 3-5 years.

I do that too!

Do you think it's about right that every year after that is about ten?

 

[guinea_wiggles]

We bought 3 babies in May 2004 (before our rescue days began!) Squirt lived to be almost 6 and Gidgit 6. Artoo is still going strong at almost 7. We adopted Blizzy from Windwhistle Warren in May 2010 and Alice told us she was 6 and a half, so she must also be 7 by now.
