Hi everyone! My name is Brenda. After a month's worth of research and lurking around here for info, we (my husband, three daughters, and I) decided to adopt a pair of piggies from Orange County Cavy Haven, a rescue right here in my neighborhood.
We got them today, and they're beautiful! You can tell my older girls named them...Princess is a gorgeous black one year-old, and Tink is her little brown baby daughter (3 months old). They were left in a shelter drop box about two months ago, poor Princess with all her little babies.
We have them set up in a 2x4 c&c cage with fleece, bent grids with blankets over them for hidey houses, a cozy, and a couple of (sterilized) pine cones to play with.
When they first got into their new home, they ate & drank pretty well (veggies, pellets & hay) and explored a little, then they got skittish and ran into their little hideys, and they've pretty much been there ever since. I'm not worried about it, the poor things have been through so much already it's no wonder they're skittish!
I have to go out tomorrow and get some alfalfa hay for Baby Tink. Other than that I think we're all set.
I will post some pics as soon as I have some, I didn't want to freak them out today by sticking a camera in their face lol
