I have two herds of piggies and until yesterday they were the "Big Pigs" and the "Little Pigs". Not very inventive one herd being older and bigger piggies than the other. Now two much younger pigs have joined my older ones so they are not big pigs as two are smaller. I am trying to decide how to refer to them without naming them all or picking one pig and saying Charlottes hutch, Poppys hutch etc.

What does everyone call their own herds?
 
I don't a herd (I wish I did!) but I have a pair of boys and a male/female couple, I just call them "boys and girl" - not very inventive either!
 
I only have 3 guinea-pigs so not really a big group, but I have always called them the army :))
 
We have the following here:

Bumble and Pixie are 'The Swiss Pigs' - because they are

Dodge and Cherry are 'The Teenagers' - cos they hump all the time

My herd from Claire are 'The Welsh Pigs' - cos they came from Wales

And my larger herd, who were my first herd, are called 'The Herd'!
 
they used to get called 'the guinea girls' but now i have a boy they're 'the wheekers' :)). not really a herd though as there's only three! xx
 
i have 2 groups of 4 1 boy and 3 girls in each so they get called, nelly's group and billy's group or as a collective for all the piglets :)
 
I'm not very inventive either - I just call mine 'the girls' (though I don't know what they'll be called when I get them their huspig!).
 
Well I'll be bringing my pignapping equpiment tomorrow saving you the trouble of having to come up with new herd names :))
 
marble and romeo are the big boys
liquorice and pepper the silly boys ( because they rush up and down the side of the cage at breakfast time, and dont notice us trying to feed them through the bars) and hartley is pretty boy, because he is!
 
I started out with the Tribe.

Then I had the Tribe and the Trio, which has turned into a Quartet.

At the moment, I am having Upstairs for my cataract group, Downstairs for the big Tribe and since surprise baby arrived, a Nursery...

the army! heehee i love that!

i don't have a herd, just a pair, but they are known by me and all my friends and family as 'the jinnywigs' (hence my forum name!) x
 
Dottie and Mabel were also referred to as "the girls" but now we have Fin it's literally "the pigs" or "wheekers" Everyone at work thinks I have three pigs living at home with me - i always have to explain they are guinea pigs!

Rotten sister. But if they weren't already mine I would pignap them too. You will be searched when you leave and a head count will be done.
