Hi everybody! I just adopted 2 awesome cavies yesterday from the shelter. Lily is an abyssinian and Nugget is a Texel. Pics are all on my phone tho', oops! I'm an emerg/ICU vet tech at a 24/7 vet hospital in Iowa and they get to go with me tomorrow for their well-piggy checks. They've seemed to settle in nicely, just moved them to their new cage and they're chowing down on some hay with a 1 cat audience. Look forward to learning from everyone!

Hello and welcome to the Forum! We're always delighted to welcome another healthcare professional and in your case, a cavy-savvy vet tech! ;) I suspect that you will contribute a lot to the collective body of knowledge. Hmmm.......another person who uses the term "well piggy visit/checkup". I once accompanied a pediatrician on her rounds who did "well baby checkups" and that's where I first heard the term.

I've been passionate about Abbys for 30 years and the only other breed that I have had was a Texel (avatar pic). If you need any hair-cutting tips for keeping Nugget groomed and clean, feel free to PM me. Again, welcome to our sometimes dysfunctional family!

Hello and welcome to the forum! Can you tell yet that we're all "cavy crazy"?
