Just wanted to share some photos of Vimto. Her and daddy had a rocky start with Vimto's taste for blood :) but with time and patience she has developed a lovely bond with us and is now our only lap piggy. She loves a good head rub and is the easiest of all the piggies to catch - though this is because she is the size of a small cat :))

Here she is - my harlequin pig as both sides are different

I absolutely love Vimto! :love: She is huge! Can I pinch her for cuddles? :))
 
Wow, she really does have completely different colourings on either side. Wouldn't know it was the same pig. Aren't you glad you put up with the vampirism to end up with such a cuddly gorgeous big girl.

I was so pleased the first time she sat on my lap and didn't snap at me.

I am! She does look like 2 pigs, when we first had her it would make me do a double take :))
 
Wow she is beautiful! Is that grey thing a house that she's crushed?! (I was looking at your accessories too! Like the spotty cube!)
 
Barney and toby want to know if she would like to come for lunch one day. They were drooling when they asked - I'm not sure what that means! :drool:

That's a sqube :) In Vimtos defence they go a bit flat after lots of washing, but yes she is like Guineazilla
 
She's a darling! How much does she weigh? (if she doesn't mind me asking such a personal question!)

1453g!

I know she's big for a girl , Vimto is fed the same diet as her friends she is just a bigger framed piggy - she's always been a bruiser ever since we had her, she is in no way delicate like Meggy Moo was. So I don't worry about her weight, she is active (well as active as pigs want to be) and healthy. Our current crop are feed less veggies per portion than any of our other piggies, she is just always easting hay :))

Ah, I just wondered how she compared with our Queenie, and they are about the same weight. Like Vimto, Queenie is a larger-framed lass! She is much longer than our other girls. Queenie too is very active, and she bounds up and down the living room and popcorns like anything!

Do you find it quite hard to pick up a larger guinea? Queenie is so big and powerful. So different from Ivy who you could almost hold in one hand!

Vimto is quite long :) I find her the easiest to pick up because there is more to grasp :) Can we see Queenie?
