Guinea pig slave
Senior Guinea Pig
We have adopted another little needy piggy from Walsall RSPCA, a little girl who has had a terrible start to life 8...
She was seized by Inspectors and not only pregnant, but had a broken leg - sadly, she miscarried her babies :0
When I heard of her plight, I couldn't stop thinking of her and enquired then saw her pics. She snatched my heart within seconds as her striped facial markings are identical to Sheila's, Bruce's wife whom we lost in April so felt this was fate at it's best. We nervously went to meet her on Friday evening along with our Bruce and his little wives, Nancy and Belle (both born at Vicky's from the RSPCA) so was nice for Vicky to see how they have grown
Peggy (because of her leg) is so tiny and is around 6 months old, a month younger than our girls so hoped they would bond being so close in age - Peggy immediately went to Nancy fluffball and put her tiny paws on her back and Nancy never made any bother, Bruce and Belle then investigated and she passed with flying colours to join his Harem x) Just have to keep an eye on her leg in the future and nothing she can jump onto or off etc. and risk a re fracture.
Plucky little girl despite her ordeals and I sat with her on my lap for some veggies when we got home but she preferred the bowl in her new pen and plonked herself right in the centre of the veggie and pellet bowls ! We stayed up until 4am just monitoring them together but she had cuddled up in between Nancy and Bruce in the fleece tunnel like she's been here forever blissfully unaware of her yawning slaves - we are overjoyed that Bruce has another little lady friend and has struck up a lovely friendship with Nancy almost mothering her - so sweet. Nancy is the one I expected to be a wee bit snappy as she's a confident little piggy but she has shown her gentle nature, Belle and Bruce are close so think Nancy is thrilled to have a little buddy.
A few pics that we discreetly managed to get this morning, not the best as we are giving her time to settle but she is the first in the hay, veggie and food supplies so no worries there...
Ooh, Sunday morning breakfast in bed eh - what more could a girl ask for ?
Ok Big fella, I'll take charge of the plate now (after she had stolen the romaine from Bruce's mouth - he just walked off much to my amazement...)
Peggy munching brekkie veg on top of the smallest cosy I could find although the others tried to get their ample booties squished into it, she likes the XL tunnels so have ordered some large play pipes for them all for Pigmas, ruling my heart already tee hee ! Booty end of Belle so you can see the size difference...
Have had to promise my patient OH that no more piggies now but believe a shrug is not legally binding (so I've been informed by other piggy mad persons) :x
