Yesterday I introduced myself and my 3 girls Nora, Sylvia, and Adaline! I didn't get to upload pictures as my phone wouldn't cooperate! Today we had scheduled a meet with 3 girls at a local shelter. Their pictures captured my heart in an email they sent me and this shelter is not well equipped for small animals. Our meet was great, the girls came right up to us and my heart melted. Of course we knew that we had to adopt them, so 3 now makes 6!

From top to bottom we have Elaine, Josephine, and Beatrice. They look so small in this picture but these girls are real chunkers lol I'll be sure to get better pictures when they settle in!

Here we have Nora on the left and Sylvia on the right! Nora is the sassy leader of our group and Sylvia is so sweet but is quite shy!

Last but not least this is Adaline! I don't have many good pictures of her as she is absolutely terrified of everything. She had a pretty rough start to life but she is making strides and I love her to bits!

Well thats my group, feel free to leave pictures of yours! I love seeing everyone's piggies! :)

I couldn’t agree more! I’d have so many if my schedule allowed for it! :cool: We actually were aiming for a herd of 4 but couldn’t resist these 3!

Congratulations. The same happened to us. We sort of went up to 8 almost by accident in days long past. Enjoy your wonderful big family. A large herd is such a joy.

It was wonderful. They were a beautiful family.

What I would say is that with a large herd like you have now, make sure you put -plenty- of money away for vets bills. It's a sombre thing to think of when you are in the middle of your bliss with your new family, but trust me; no vet fund is too much for a family that size. It happened to us more than once that multiple girls became ill at the same time, or in very quick succession. We've gone through -thousands- in a month before. So make sure you are completely financially prepared for the worst possible luck.

We are no stranger to vet bills that’s for sure! We’ve had another herd of 6 before! Just took a break to grieve after everyone passed as they got older. We also have a dog, cat, chinchilla, 2 hamsters and the husband has 2 ferrets! So we keep the vet funds safely padded for emergencies! But thank you so much, even in our time of bliss we have to be cautious! :)

Aah fair enough. I just thought I would chime in, we've had a tough year. Sounds like you've had some hard times too. I really hope you have nothing but joy in the coming years. Your girls are beautiful and have obviously gone to a very good home.

Thank you for chiming in! I would much rather people who care forewarn anyone than to say nothing at all! All too often I hear of people not having enough for vet bills and the fate of their piggies does not turn out well. I saw where your herd lost one recently, I’m so sorry to see that. :sad:
