Hi everyone! My name's Fran and I'm a new member. I have two little piggies, a Ridgeback boy named Patches and a smooth haired girl named Rosie. Patches is over a year old and Rosie is about 5 months and they're my little angels. I am actually obsessed with them so I was really happy when I stumbled upon this site after googling some of their behaviors. Patches loves licking Rosie's ears/fur so I just wanted to make sure it was normal. And in my search (which I did get an answer for), I found this site and thought it would be a great way to connect with fellow cavy lovers as my husband finds my obsession with them a bit strange. Anyway, hi from myself, Patch-man and Rosebud!
