Long story short - friend of a friend asked her to look after their guinea pigs for a few weeks during a house renovation & now doesn't want them back, friend doesn't really have the space, time or inclination to put in the effort of having full time permanent piggies so we are getting 4 new girls on Sunday!

They don't have names yes I know but they will be loved here so we need names for them. So far we have Daphne & Luna for 2 of them but these gorgeous girlies are still nameless. We already have 2 girls of our own called Trixie & Cookie.

Suggestions on a postcard please....

Ohh lovely piggies and Well Done stepping into the breach for these lovely little rodents in their time of need.

Your PigHerd is going from 2-to-6 Grin

I would call the little black/tan Twix and the ginger/white maybe Werthers? (I like cute names for remales and human names for males )

And once you have them in your tight grasp , poke your friend in the spleen for not having the time or inclination to put in the effort of having full time permanent piggies .

If you hadn't taken these ladies then Sad where would they have ended up ?

@70isaLimitNotaTarget to be fair to her she only agreed to look after them for a few weeks it was never meant to be long term.

They are here now & settling in well. Some pics of the lovely markings of one of our nameless piggies... DD & DS are locked in a battle over naming her Blossom!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/09/2020 17:43

Aww they're all gorgeous and how the Jeff did you manage to get them al lined up sitting nicely and looking roughly in the same direction? Grin

NatashaAlianovaRomanova · 20/09/2020 18:17

No idea & it certainly didn't last long 70isalimit less than 30 seconds after the pic was taken they were zooming all over the bed snuffling for blueberries under DD's cushions!
