Piggly12 -

Mummy, Whaea, made it - she's so tiny now but doing well.

I didn't make those ones - we have ones from Germany, Canada and America - and ones I've made and some that people made and donated. :)

My camera is a Cannon EOS 1100D, but I've been trying to figure out how to restart it as I've messed something up so It's autofocus doesn't work and I've got to focus it manually. :/

Yes let us know what happened to the mother. How do you take the temperature of a guinea pig?

All four boys are living together in a 2x6 now. Hopefully they'll be okay living together until we can get them desexed and paired up with their sisters.



His hair looks curly so I'd say he's probably a texel. Rexes and teddies have more bristle-like hair like the one in the other photo. None of mine have ever had curls or waves, even as pups, although I've had some with rougher and softer fur. I'm interested in seeing what he looks like as he gets older so please update with photos. I'd like to see if it straightens out. Either way, he's just too cute!!!

I'm honestly still not sure 100% sure what breed he is! As his hair isn't really growing much longer, not like other long haired babies we've had born here before.

He's definitely one of a kind but an incredibly adorable one. I'd say the closest breed to that resembles him is a Swiss. They have that coarse fur but it's irregular in length.

For those wondering how Whaea is doing, she is doing really well! Her hair has grown back and she is rid of the mites.

Just to let you know, little Mingimingi has turned out to look mostly like a Rex, short bristle-hair but some is a bit wavy. :)
He is very very handsome

Cute piggies on your rescue site.

Suzanne really enjoyed fostering for you, but she was very glad to get her Badger back! I was just glad to give him back in one piece and good health -- pig sitting can be worrying if the pig's mom is halfway around the world!
