We went out today, I was feeling really sorry for myself, low potassium levels and the ways that really messes you around. After getting some shopping, Steve decided I needed a cheer up. We went to look at the piggys at P@H, I saw this cute little fella in the adoption centre and decided that he should come home with us.

He was originally called Marley, but we have renamed him Kadaj, after a character in Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children.

Kadaj likes mirrors and is bossy enough to put Hope in his place!
 
Ah he is so gorgeous! x)

Lucky little chappie got a home with a piggy lover; that's why you should go to pet's at home! :))
 
He is a little sweetie, very vocal and if I put him anywhere he starts wheeking so I go back to him... I think I am smitten! :)
 
Awwww he's gorgeous ..... I dont allow myself to look at the adoption area in PAH any more after getting 3 girls there last year (and I have no room for more ...lol) ..... I love them to bits but little homeless piggys really pull at the heart strings...

Sooo glad he's got a home with you,

xx
 
I know what you mean, the sad eyes are what get me, the poor little thing was scared half to death on his own, I am glad we can give him a forever home and a small piggy family for him to play with, sadly he didn't get on with Hope :(
 
Aww

Aww soo cute x) Whats it like when you adopt from P@H?
Do they ask questions? And I thought they would do a homecheck?
Anyway Congratz :))

They just ask for a donation and what sort of cage or cages you have, have you ever kept pigs before, that kind of thing really :) It was friendly and quick, although it did feel as though they were trying to sell me the poor little creature, but happily Kadaj is a healthy and rather lovely piggle

Oh thank you I was just wondering because I thought it might put me off:) haaha :))
 
maybe you should set up bookmarks to all the guinea rescues on here and browse them next time so you can adopt a rescue piggie :-)

I recently adopted a little piggie from the adoption section at our local pets@home. They didn't ask me any questions. Not where will i be keeping her, any previous pigs etc. I had to ask what food she was currently on.
I don't think they know anything. I only rescued her as she was a female baby on her own! and super cute x
 
Poor little love, hes been in the wars, I thought him and Hope were fighting, but he was trying to clean an enormous wound on his back. I mean this thing was massive, looked like it was caused by something bigger than a piggle, yet P@H said he was a sale piggy
 
I'm kinda glad no pet shops here have adoption sections, it'd be too tempting to adopt them all :))

He's gorgeous :) It's great that he has a great home with you!
 
Beautiful Boy x)

I actually got my Girls from Just for pets..i had no idea about rescue guineapigs until i researched info on how to care for them.

The shop is nice and the animals all look well cared for and yes i do have 2 girls..i was really worried about all the stories of wrong sexing.
 
I did feel guilty about buying from a pet shop but i dont regret it as i love them to bits but in the future i would deffo go rescue :)
 
Kadaj is happily snuggled in my blanket, lying on my chest and nuzzling me, and trying to put his head under my chin, so cute
 
Oh you are in Redditch..my partner works in Redditch. Small world.
 
Erm i dont know lol but its Kalamazoo. They moved to Redditch last year.
