My Piggie Girls


Hi there,

My name is Elizabeth and I have two of my own guinea pigs and I'm fostering a third one.

This is Nadia. She's also affectionately known as the "Red Eyed Devil", the "Biter" or simply "The Russian". She's not super friendly but we love her anyway.



And this is Willow. She's a senior pig who we were fostering for a rescue group. She had a lot of health issues including hair loss due to mites and a very bad cough and congested breathing. She was also very underweight. Some revolution and a good dose of antibiotics and she's doing very well. Her cough has cleared up, her hair's grown back, her breathing is clear and she's gained a bunch of weight. She's a pretty special girl, very independent and cheeky and we made the decision to adopt her into our family permanently.





And this is Wendy. She's also a foster pig. She's pretty skittish and shy but will sit quietly on your lap during cuddle time. We have a heck of a time catching her in the cage though!



The three of them live in a divided C&C cage that's quite large. I'm adding one more picture of them having play time together (okay, veggie time together ).



I look forward to chatting with you all about your own piggies.

Thanks Sue. Willow is certainly neat looking isn't she? We sometimes call her our little skunk. That's not actually their C&C cage though, that's just the playpen where they can have veggie time or play time together. This is their C&C cage:



All of the yellow and part of the blue belongs to the three guinea pigs. The other blue section is for our hedgehog Nigel.

Those are 3 very cute girlies. The one as my icon is my Phil. He has a great personality and it takes him 3 seconds to run up the stairs.

Cute pigs! I didn't know they came in colours like that, then again, I don't really know anything about Guinea Pigs. lol

They are precious! I had to leave my two girls, Harmony and Chloe, with my mom when I moved out.
