I'm so happy to finally introduce my two new additions, Olive and Pickles.
IMG_3362.jpg
They are both spayed girls and approximately 6 months old when I got them in May. Wow time flies! I've been so busy planning and building a bigger cage for them, which still isn't even finished yet!
I wanted to adopt a third pig for awhile, but always feared one would be left out, so I decided I wouldn't adopt another unless she had a black eye patch. (I have a thing for pirates) When Pickles and Olive showed up at the rescue a week later, I knew it was meant to be.

Olive's my biggest girl at 2 lbs 7 oz and still growing! She's an abruvian with crazy blond hair and some white on her right side.
She's a laid-back girl, loves to stretch her legs all the way out and close her eyes when she lies down.

Pickles is my little pirate (or Paul Stanley from Kiss). She was the smallest, but quickly caught up to Dagny. She is an abbysinian with mostly white fur, auburn hood, black eye patch and a black spot on her bum. She’s a silly little girl, always running around and causing trouble!

Here they all are during introductions. All the ladies tuckered out and Rango eating hay :)

Introductions went so well, there was barely even a rumblestrut. My neutered boar Rango had so much fun chasing and getting to know his new girlfriends. That night they were all happily sharing a 2x6 C&C cage.
Rango, Olive, Dagny & Pickles. I love them all so much!

What a great success story! Did you get to name Olive and Pickles or did they come with those names? Now you have different naming styles... hehe.

Thanks for putting together all those pictures. It made it fun to read about all your piggies, new and old.

I would love to have a guinea pig that likes to lay down and do the splits like that. Very funny. I might come knocking at your door and try to trade.. lol.

So many people post on here when intro's go badly, it's always great to see success stories! I love the fact the intro went so well that they were all kicking back and relaxing together out in the open, seems like you picked the perfect two piggies :)

Thanks so much everyone!
@(broken link removed), I didn't name Pickles, but I love the name so I had to keep it. Olive's name was Caramel, but I didn't care for it and it didn't match Pickles. As soon as I thought of the name Olive I knew it would be hers. She helps transition the two naming styles since she’s both a food and a human name ;)

Aw thank you :eek: That’s so true! This is why I feel so lucky.
