Thought I better do a wee introduction to me and my GPs. I'm from Scotland, been keeping GPs since I was 11 back in 1992 and I'm currently the proud owner of two lovely female piggies.
Bracken is a 3ish year old abyruvian (abysinnian/peruvian cross) who I adopted from our local rescue centre whilst looking for a hamster! She was found by a person walking their dog and was riddled with ear mites and mange, and partially bald. She has improved in leaps and bounds though still requires treatment once in a while as her skin problem resurfaces fairly regularly despite a picture perfect diet and being housed on fleece. She is going for a scan soon to our local vet hospital as we suspect she may have ovarian cysts. She's been in the wars but she's now in her forever home so hopefully she'll be with us for years to come.
Bonnie is our (exceptionally photogenic) baby, a bit of a mixture of breeds. She is 8 months old and was the result of one of my workmates purchase of a (though she didnt know it at the time) pregnant pig from a pet shop. She acts more like a hamster - being exceptionally into climbing and she will attempt to eat ANYTHING remotely food related. She's rather partial to her sleeping bag (as illustrated), in which I witnessed for the first time a guinea pig closing their eyes to sleep!
And so we all live happily together along with Bam the (aged) hamster and three fish. Not in the same cage, mind you - piggies are the proud resident of a C&C cage I built last month
