Well, where to start! Some of you might have seen my post in the introduction section of the forum. The plan was to get two baby guinea's from a local breeder today. This is not now the case and if you read on further you will find out why!

I had been looking for two girls for my two girls and it seems they are like gold-dust at the moment but anyhoo, managed to find some babies which we were planning on picking up today, but come Thurs I had a feeling in my Mummy Tummy which led me to contact the breeder......thus finding out that all of the youngsters she had got from auction were pregnant and therefore, completely unsuitable to a novice Cavie Mum like myself!

This left me in the position of having two very disappointed little girls :0 .

We thought it would just mean we would have to wait quite a while longer until we could love some piggies.......and then.........two little 1yr old girls came up for rehoming on a local pet site yesterday. :)p The girls were at school so was a prime opportunity to suprise them! We went and collected the piggies, I was quite happy to take them from the situation they were in, shall we say they hadnt had alot of time spent on cleanliness or upkeep so when we got them home I spent an hour and a half scrubbing the cage out and getting it back to it's former glory and then it was time for the girls to come back from school......

OOOooooooo the excitement! xx>>> They are much loved additions to our family already and are settling in very well!

Anyway, that is our story so far, i'm sure there are going to be many more piggie tales along the way!

Thanks for reading!

That's what I thought in hindsight, just that at the time getting babies seemed like an easier option. Daisy-Cakes and Millie-Pig haven't been handled too much either so will be nice to encourage them to be happy piggies with gentle coaxing! Just going to see about uploading some pigtures now! xx :))
 
What gorgeous little ladypigs with lovely names! I hope you have many, many happy times with them :)
 
Aww what pretty girls you have. I am glad you did not get them from a breeder. Those poor pigs are bred back to back and have no life.
 
I thought I got off lightly with the names my younger brothers chose; Nibbles, Nugget and Bingo (I picked the others) it could have been so much worse. I just worried I might end up yelling Beckham and Rooney down the garden!

Completely understand that one! Although I am not adverse to 'different' names. My children are named Ellie-Mae and Betty-Lou and so people always say we are the Clampetts! And we have a hairy dog called Ugly (not my choice, my brother named her the day she was born, she was the runt and was rather unattractive but has blossomed into a beauty!) you get a lot of looks shouting that in the park i can tell you! And a Chinese crested Hairless rescue dog named Harley...well he just looks weird and the cats are called Sid and Vicious....we aren't right :{ :(|)
 
WELCOME DAISY-CAKES AND MILLIE-PIG TO YOUR LOVELY FOREVER HOME XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Here's celebrating the girls arriving and you have many happy years with them both! x)x)
