Hi everyone!

My name is Emma (username Ferny is my hamster's name!)

I'm 21 and live in the UK. I have a fiance and I'm in my third year studying psychology at uni.

I have 6 piggies, started out as 2 and quickly became 6 due to people not getting along with each other and me having to find cage mates for everyone! Anyway we're all happy now and have been settled for a few years! I have 5 girls and 1 neutered boar and they all live in pairs in C&Cs in my spare room.

As well as the guinea pigs I have a bunny who free ranges in my shed, a hamster who lives in the pig room and a cat!

I look forward to getting to know you all and your pigs :)

Emma

Welcome! How funny that you ended up with six because you had to separate some, and then get cage mates. Cute.

Hello! Thank you for the welcomes! Here are my piggies hope this works :)

Maggie - Maggie is nearly 3, she lives with Sephy and has the most attitude I have ever seen in an animal. She is an escapologist and has been known to scale the C&C in order to steal nextdoor's veg. She is the first to greet me when I go into the room and I don't think I've ever seen her sleep she is up for fun any time of the day and will do anything for food!

Sephy - Also nearly 3! I think she is the brains behind Maggie's mischief! She is definitely the dominant sow and is generally quiet and keeps an air of mystery about her, again she'll do anything for food and loves being stroked.

Ralfie - My little old man! He's neutered. We think he is around 5, but nobody is sure. He has been through so much in the time I've had him including nerve damage in his back, eye problems, numerous abscesses, chest infections, bloat, diarrhea. And many more. For some reason this one little pig seems to attract any illness pigs can get, he has been healthy now for over a year, he doesn't seem to be able to see or hear very well and he has no wheek bless him but he eats so well and is still a fatty, he's a content piggy and loves his wife very much!

Panda - Panda is about 2, she's a sheltie but I cut her hair very short in summer to save her getting too hot. She's a lovely little lady, very gracious and looks after Ralfie really well, she is obsessed with green beans! No idea why she loves them so much the others aren't bothered but they all have their little traits I suppose!

Bumble - Bumble and Bee are sisters and were my first pigs! Bumble is the mothering type, very laid back and well natured she's a pleasure to have around! She's very tolerant of her annoying sister who pesters her so much!

Bee - Bee is a complete drama queen and never stops talking to herself! She's hilarious to watch and very much like Maggie when it comes to being up for fun any time! My pig room would be a dull place without this little piggy she puts a smile on your face when you're in the worst mood!

And finally all together for a pose!

Terrific photos, particularly Bee's - she sure has the, "What, who, ME, a naughty pig? I don't THINK so!" look down pat! And Maggie both looks and sounds like my ultimate dream pig, LOL.

Welcome.

Welcome Emma, your piggies are so cute! Your Maggie sounds like my Abby. She was in a separate upper cage from Maxi as he was nearing the end of his period for being separated due to him being neutered. She wanted to be with him and scaled down from the top floor to the bottom, several times!!
Loving the group pose picture!

Thank you all for the lovely comments, I can't 'thank' properly yet.

Katrinah - It's not always easy to get them all to sit together, sometimes they feel like it and don't mind, sometimes they hate it and we have 6 going off in different directions! I have quite a good christmas pic of them all together will have to dig it out!

Spoto27 - I'm sorry to hear you lost your piggy, sleep tight Jesse. I don't often see other pigs with Sephy's colouring she seems to be dark chocolate which seems to be pretty uncommon, I'd love to see a picture of Jesse sometime :) xx
