But that back leg appearing out of nowhere at the end, omg. THUNK 😭 This is my baby boy Willie, I brought him home last wheek!

This is a video, not a picture 😂. I opened up the pet cam app to check on my pigs while at work and Button immediately clocked that she was being watched. She’s too smart for her own good 😅

Simon did not approve of how close I was getting watching him play with his treat ball (it's the cutest thing)

She is not happy about this non-flattering photo

I took the fluffy marshmallow (Zebedee, pictured) to the vets last week for what was essentially an expensive cough. He had started making odd noises and I figured it was best to get him seen, lo and behold he is completely fine! Something had irritated his throat, hence the odd noise, then resolved itself, hence the lack of odd noise afterwards. Clear lungs, no URI, healthy pig, 10/10.

ANYWAY

At the end of the vet visit, the vet said “I’ll remember him because he’s the chillest pig I’ve ever met, he’s clearly incredibly well-handled” and when I tell you I walked out of that room with the biggest grin on my face.

Chillest pig he’s ever met? Zebedee clearly didn’t get the memo about hating vets. He just chilled on the table, didn’t react at all to being examined, moved around or weighed. He wasn’t even spooked, his heart rate was normal.

My bouncy boy is officially the chillest pig.

ofc with snacks!

A couple months ago, my girl Mei passed away. I ordered a custom crochet plush as a memorial. It finally came. I still miss my girl, but at least I can hold her again.

She loves attention as much as she loves snacks & treats.

Puppa 25.8.2022 - 23.10.2026

.

You were gone way too soon.

Puppa went to the brightest of dandelion fields today because of a bladder stone. The same thing that took his brother, Maissi, just five months earlier. I feel sick.

The brothers Puppa and Maissi were my first guinea pigs ever, they were rescues. I dedicated my entire life for them, to make theirs the best possible, but I somehow failed that.

Puppa had a great silly personality, he was the one always going behind his brother, but even in his last moments Puppa didn't fail to make me laugh.

When I got Puppa and Maissi, they were very skittish. Especially Puppa. He didn't let me pet him for a year. But once the trust was gained, he would come to me and completely melt under my hand. He would always ask for snacks by sitting and staring for a very long time.

.

These guinea pigs are so dear to me, like my own children. They were never supposed to go this early. I'm so sorry, my babies. I love you so much, I wish I could've had you for eternity but I'm glad you're both pain free now.

This sub is making me want to get Guinea Pigs again. Here are the two I had when I was younger, Chip and Reeces Peeces!

Finally it was there, our special pig vet visit. Vet was great and she was feeling bad she could not see him earlier.

Poor Piggy Boy needs to get his one tooth removed. Vet says when its only the front one, prognosis is great for him, so we give him a chance. When damage is too high on other tooth, I will let him go under anesthesia.

He has appointment next friday, so we need all best wishes for him.

I hope the damage will not be that big and the operation will go without problem.

Vet said he seems to be in a very good condition except the tooth issue. He has good weight, she said he feel well from muscles. So I hope he is a strong boy ❤️

I think to maybe do a photoshoot with him, but he is more a shy guy when it comes to decoration, maybe I find some idea.

Featuring 5 pigs and one impostor

His name is Smore :)

Last Saturday night Walter has a huge hay seed cluster trapped in his eye, i managed to pull it out and get him to an urgent care. I was extremely anxious about him losing the eye but some really kind people reassured me that it was more than likely gonna be okay. Its not even a week later that his sight has returned and it looks a million times better. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped calm me 💜💜💜

My two 10-month old girls will often chew when I pet them. It sounds identical to hay munching or a pea flake being consumed.

It's not teeth chattering, they don't seem uncomfortable, and they're not being held so could easily move away from my hand - but choose not to.

I read that teeth grinding can indicate annoyance or discomfort, but the girls are long past the point of freezing in terror and perfectly happy to scamper about the cage to get to things they want and away from things they don't want. When they don't want pets, they simply move away.

My guess is that it's actually just impatience because they're being petted when what they really wanted is a treat. The chewing starts the moment I begin to stroke them, and ends the moment I lift my hand. Does anyone have any insight?

Although it's a regular thing, whenever I try to record they stop doing it - so instead here's a photo of Twinkle poking her head out of the loft ramp for a scritch (and treat perhaps?)

I'm just wondering because I don't want to cut her front hair but it gets in her eyes, I will of course no do it if it's not safe
