Hi there all!
I'm Karen and I am a 34 year old mum of 2. Catrin is 13, and Kristopher is 12.
I have always loved guinea pigs since I was about 5? The girl next door to my parents kept 3 girls in a hutch out the back, I forget all the names but I know that one was Snowy as she was pure white with pink eyes and ears....
I have kept piggies myself since Oct 2005, when we aquired Robbie and Riley. They were 6 months old when we got them. About 6 months later we were "given" Flash he was only 5 weeks old, we went to Pet Rescue in Nottingham and got him a cagemate Patch, the rescue owner wasn't 100% sure of his age but estimated it at around a year.
6 months again after that we bought Maisy and Daisy, then about 6 months ago aquired Mina and Lucy. The boys are outdoor piggies, with sheltered in the shed during the coldest months. The girls live indoors.
We have never housed the boys and girls indoors at the same time and all the boys were used to outdoor living when we got them.
There are pictures that I uploaded in my gallery, or in My piggies/In Memory
I have been looking for a piggie forum for a while, ever since my last one Squeaky Pigs shut down.
