Here's some photos of 4 of my piggies!! Will try and get the other two on here soon,



This is Cuddles (left) and Tye. Tye hasn't been well recenlty and lost a lot of weight it was quite serious and we din't think he would make it but thankfully he pulled through and is well on his way to recovery!!

Callie is mum to Codi and Tye. It was a unexpected pregnancy. I got her as a male guinea pig, well that was wrong! She was female and pregnant!! She only had two babies and I just had to keep them both as they were soooo cute when born!!!

Aww they are so cute, I like the one with all the long bits of fur hehe :oops: Im glad to hear the is recovering from whatever was wrong with him :) I almost adopted a guinea pig, but I worried I might have an allergic reaction to them as I seem to be allergic to rabbits :( and I really didn’t have the room.



I understand they need allot of room, what sort of enclosure do you have them in?

Well surprisingly I'm allergic to guinea pigs and rabbits!! I have 6 piggies and 2 rabbits! I just live on tablets!!! :lol: We're not really sure what was wrong with Tye he had really bad runny poo's and was really larathgic and didn't really do much, vet tested for everything but all came back normal! Then one day it just stopped and he started getting better!! Maybe i'll never know what it was!



I have my piggies in custom built outdoor cages that my dad built! They are all housed in pairs as piggies are social animals. I have 4 boys and 2 girls. The cages have to be quite big with lots of room to play in access to a run is also a good idea. My piggies are out everday in theirs depending on the weather. My piggies are all kept in the garage (no car's allowed) my garage has been turned in to mini petting zoo (as my dad calls it). With the cages and food buckets etc. Piggies have to be fed fresh vegetables every day which can become expensive when you have 6 like me!! But they are great little charecters and are so funny to watch!
