As requested by Mrs Bunnykins a few of the piggies we currently have here
Sadly all the pigs in my signature are now at Rainbow Bridge but they taught me so much in the time that they were with us. I fostered for a local guinea pig rescue for a couple of years before opening East Peckham Guinea Pig Rescue in October 2012. Here are just a few of the piggies who are currently with us awaiting their forever homes. The first batch of piggies only came into rescue last month and the girls are all currently on pregnancy watch - despite being assured they hadn't been anywhere near the boar, surprise surprise at least one is very obviously pregnant
Millie, a little rexy type piggy of around 6 months old - a tiny dot of a girlie
Gorgeous little Evie, about 4 months old and a wee beauty
The stunning Sadie who is sadly pregnant. She has an agouti head and roaned back, she is a stunning little girl and only a baby at around 4 months old
Isabel who is supposed to be around a year old (suspect she is nearer 9/10 months) and who is allegedly mum to Evie, Sadie and Oscar. She is the bravest of the group of girls and is always out looking for food bless her
Freya is also supposed to be around a year old, although she seems slightly older - she is a gorgeous girl
The final piggy from this rescue is Oscar, a very handsome little chap. I am concerned that he may be dad to Sadie's babies which is not good on two counts, both pigs are roans so we are almost certainly guaranteed to have some 'lethal' babies if he is the dad and secondly he is obviously Sadie's brother For those that don't know what a 'lethal' is, it's a piggy born with serious health issues, they are generally pink eyed white pigs, often with deformed or no eyes, terrible teeth issues and sometimes internal organ problems too - so very bad news. This is one of the many reasons why people who don't know what they are doing should not breed piggies
Next we have the gorgeous Maggie. Maggie came to me from a very complicated situation. I was involved in a large rescue in the Autumn of 2013, we took out around 40 pigs and 25 rabbits from a terrible situation. Some of the animals were being fostered in a different location and were handed in to us as the fosterer had had enough. At the time we didn't know about Maggie, but one of my supporters spotted the woman advertising her on a Facebook page so went and collected her for me. She is an absolutely stunning girl, we just need to find her a new friend now.
Next comes Mistletoe & Olive a stunning pair of abby cross girls. They came into rescue just over a year ago - I can't believe they are still with us They are youngsters around 2 who were purchased for a 3 year old child. Thankfully the mum realised that a pair of pigs weren't suitable for such a youngster and asked us to take them in.
Next up Hebe who came in just before Christmas. She and her pal Rowan (an un-neutered male) had been living together but somehow thankfully Hebe managed to avoid getting pregnant, she has just finished her pregnancy watch and I hope to have someone coming to view her to bond to their bereaved little girl. Hebe is only about 5 months old so still a baby.
Rowan, her partner in crime - his coat has grown considerably since he came in, he is a very handsome little guy
The final pair of piggies are Pansy & Posey - from the same rescue as Maggie. These two are beautiful girls, but absolutely terrified of people. They will settle for a cuddle once you've caught them but they are incredibly difficult to catch!
This is just a few of the piggies currently with us in rescue awaiting their forever homes Pics of my bunnies to follow.
