Bonding day. Penny is a bit of a pistol and poor Softy was completely overwhelmed by her, so we are trying her with Midnight and Cookie instead.
Midnight immediately set the rules, and now they are smoothing out the rough edges. Midnight still gets her hackles up from time to time, but Penny is being properly deferential to her elders now.
I survived taking care of 2 pairs of piggies - my 1st experience with them, interesting litl critters 😁
Yes we’ve had piggies that are a bit over the top with everyone they are introduced to and they need that special pig that will even things out. Crossing fingers this works! Good luck!
Please join us in welcoming Penny! This sweet little girl is about 8 months old. We were asked to take her, as her humans were having difficulty rehoming her after finding out that one of them is allergic to her. 🤧
Penny will take some time to settle in, and then we’ll see if she and Softy are a good match. 💘 ... See MoreSee Less
We’ve been doing some bonding in the guinea pig room. Little Midnight has been by herself since Pebbles died, so we introduced her to Cookie. They hit it off okay and are calmly cohabitating now. 💘🐹
We tried Softy with Bubbles and Sprinkles. That was not so easy. They are tough girls and seriously do not want any stinky boys in their clubhouse, even when they were offered a new, larger space. Poor guy will be on his own for a little longer. 😕 ... See MoreSee Less
Pebbles and her brother Bam Bam were born here November 1, 2017. Their mom, Wilma, delivered just a few days after arriving. Bam Bam was adopted with Sparkles’ girl Rae by a wonderful family. Pebbles stayed with her elderly mother, and they were joined first by Donny, and then Rascal, when Donny passed away. After Wilma died, Lizzie and Candy moved in with them, and later Midnight and Honey.
Pebbles was easy going and everyone’s friend. We’re so glad she had a long, healthy and happy life with us. She is missed. 💔🐹 ... See MoreSee Less
With hantavirus in the news, just a reminder that it is carried by wild mice and rats, and not rabbits or domestic rodents, including guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils. 🦠
Protect yourself by using a mask when cleaning up areas that may be contaminated with rodent feces. 😷 Do not use poison baits- they kill the owls and hawks who eat rats and mice.

New and improved Fort Langston. 🏰 The gate opens for easier access (for us!) We will better plan his next enclosure with his exemplary skill set in mind. The things we do for buns. 😂❤️🐰 ... See MoreSee Less
Sigh. Guess who learned he could jump into the living room today? Mr. Langston has some excellent springs in his thumpers. Temporary measures until we get things rearranged. 🩶🐇 ... See MoreSee Less

I may be calling out for advice later this month, have a 4 some coming to stay while house gets fumigated - I don't do Guinea Piggies 🤨
It’s amazing how tough pig girls can be. They look so cute!
Aw, I hope he finds a mate soon
Aww
Sweet Pebbles has gone to the next world. 🌈

Just lovely! You'll have to give me the name of your interior decorator 🤣😍😁
Oh no! Langston…. They took you in and you are causing trouble! 🤦♀️🫣🤭
Lol, he was determined!
