Nic

Just wanted to say hello to everyone!

My name is Nic, I am 32, married with two gorgeous girls aged 11 and 8 and a Border Collie called Buster! Last Monday we got two new girls in addition to our family - Blackberry and Daisy. They are 3 months old. One is all black (blackberry!) and Daisy is grey and white.

The piggies live indoors with us and are such wonderful characters! They have settled in well already. They popcorn like mad and eat non stop! They love their cuddles and my children are so confident when handling them, which is good! Buster is not too sure! He watches them in their cage and has a sniff when we are holding them but they make him cry coz I dont think he quite gets them!

They were really shy at first but we are amazed at how tame they have become in just a week. Blackberry is the leader and never keeps still, whilst Daisy is a lot calmer. Blackberry poo's and wee's all over when they are out of the cage and my little girl Meg follows her around the floor with a tissue cleaning up! Daisy likes to use one corner of the cage and is very particular where she uses the loo! Although she did wee on me last nite!

We had to take them to the vets last week as they have had conjunctivitis and a cold! but the medicine they have been taking has done the trick.

Anyway, thats my introduction. I have enjoyed reading your posts and share your love of piggies - If it weren't for this board I wouldn't have a clue wot popcorning woz or wot the cooing and squeeking noises meant! I will try and upload some pictures soon.

Welcome ;D You'll love it here. Can't wait to see pictures of your little ones :smitten:
 
oh your babies sound adorable! I can't wait to see pictures either. My friend's Labrador used to be so curious when i had clover. She'd get the cutest expression on her face, her ears pricked and her forehead would wrinkle up.. she loved her.

It won't be long before you can tell when they want to go back home to have a wee ;D

Hope your little cuties get better soon,

They sound wonderful, and it's lovely to see a new member on here who took their pigs to the vets when they were ill, I'm sorry they became ill but I hope they're getting better now.

Can't wait for pics, welcome to the forum! :)

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome!

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions in the future! I will take some pictures later and try and upload them.

I'll look out for the restlessness when the girlies need a wee!

Oh and Little Pig, arent border collies fab too! Crazy dogs they are!

Bye for now

hello and welcome to this forum! :) ,i to have a border collie and yes they are crazy dogs!!my dog will sit and watch our guinea pigs for the whole day with out moving(silly thing ;D ;D ;D)
 
Hello, welcome :)

Glad your girlas are settling in nicely.

My in-laws have a Springer Spaniel who is fascinated with them, but occasionally likes to bark at them so we have to keep her very firmly out of the way when they visit!
