We drove to the Los Angeles Guinea Rescue for our routine health checks (nail clipping, ear cleaning, etc...) and well in love with this 2 year old sweet Abyssinian piggie.

We are open to names

I always liked the name Archimedes but never thought of using it to name a pig until too late! Love abbys! I think Gabriella would be cute. Female form of the angel Gabriel. Gabby the guinea lol. Or Abigail the Abyssinian. Such a pretty pig needs a pretty name! I just never much cared for the name 'Angel'. Too generic.

This is an update as of this morning....She almost ate with the herd....Not sure if she likes green bell peppers or was given any. After this video, she went back down to the main cage and ate hay instead. The hierarchy is still being sorted within the herd because of the recent addition.

We are thinking of calling her "Dash" because of the zoomies she was doing last night (really fast girl) which cause the other sows to follow suit.

Thanks everyone...she is definitely sweet and submissive. She spends her time with the Queen Piggie of the herd (Peanut).

How about Dashley? I don't know... I was just thinking Dashley because it sounds like Ashley, which is a feminine name.
If not, that's totally fine and I don't blame you a bit!

I agree with you on this...Dash doesn't sound feminine enough. I thought about Scuttles because the way she runs

So cute!

Unnamed piggy: "You'll never find me up here in this loft!" I think Dash fits her. Scuttles is cute too. So many choices!

The names are being narrowed down: Dash, Scuttles, Scuttlebug, and Wuzzle. I promise we will have her official name this weekend. We are trying to name her base on personality or appearance.

Here is an update on the herd. This is the first veggie meal that she was not pushed away from the herd. I am glad she is finally integrating into the herd. Last night she was eating hay with 2 of the dominant sows with no issues.

She is so so cute! So what is the official name? Our two piggies came with names, and I am still thinking, to change them or not. I probaboy should since I am not a big fan of current names -Queenie and Lola.

We ended up naming her "Willow6" I got attached to the name "6" but my other half told me we can't name our 6th piggie "6" so we compromised with "Willow6"
