- Hello there, this is Roo99! You can just call me Roo, my friends do. :)
I adopted 2 pigs from my local rescue, and they are very sweet. I brought them home on March 3, 2012.
I am really looking forward to getting to know some more about cavies. Here are some of my favorite YouTube channels about piggies:

I would love to have skinny pigs at some point, but there aren't any up for adoption in my area. I will NOT get any cavies from a breeder or store. They are not playthings just to buy on a whim. I respect them as loving and caring creatures; there are many who need loving homes, so why would you contribute to the overpopulation problem by supporting pet stores that sell animals? It is just wrong. Plain and simple.

Well, it is rather hard to believe that I've had my pigs for just over 2 years now! Griffin, my neutered male pig, came to the rescue and was estimated to be about 1 year old when I adopted him. His roommate Toni, however, was born at the rescue, and she was 6 months old when I adopted her.
Right now, my sister is helping me to hand sew some new cage liners, which is quite the adventure! We've almost finished sewing the towels for the first liner, and then we'll just sew the fleece

Well, I just decided that I felt like writing a blog entry. I don't really pretend to be an expert at these things, but I decided to give it a go.
I have had my guinea pigs for over a year now. Griffin, my neutered boar is about 2, and Toni, my sow, is about 19 months old. After adopting them, it just seems like they've always been here.
Even though I knew the work that would be involved, I guess that I just didn't really realize the amount that it would be until I actually

I keep thinking back to when I first got the pigs, and am exceedingly overwhelmed at how quickly the time has passed. So much has happened, and I wonder; how long will it last?

The grids that I ordered to build a C&C for my piggies arrived a day early! An early birthday present for me, I suppose (my birthday is tomorrow!). Thank you Amazon!
I'm going to go make the cage. I don't have the fleece yet, but I will put some towels on top of my vinyl for now. I am SO excited! AH!

Oh goodness, was today eventful for me and the pigs! Griffin and Toni were getting dirty, so I decided that it was time for a bath. I rounded them up, put them in their carrier, and took them to the bathroom for a quick wash. There were many escape attempts that I thwarted, and in the end they were both a little miserable.
Then, I clipped their nails. It wasn't too horrible for them. Now, they are both relaxing in their little 4x2.
Today I was thinking about my dream
