Luna and Tickles came to us with their friend Yolanda in 2019 when their elderly guardian could no longer care for them. They moved in with Cora, Nestor and Horchata, and quickly adjusted to life at Friendly Farms.
Both were easygoing girls who enjoyed spending their days doing the guinea pig triathlon (eat, sleep, poop) and left the drama to others.
Parfait moved in with them after Cora and Nestor passed on, and Hermione came later. They were a joyful, harmonious group, and we are sad to say goodbye to Luna and Tickles. Rest in peace, sweet girls. 💔🌈🐹 ... See MoreSee Less
Jasmine came to us in late 2015 from Monterey County Animal Services as one of the 21 rabbits who were abandoned on Old Stage Road near Salinas. We called them the Rice Bunnies as we needed a whole bunch of names quickly, so we named them after varieties of rice.
Jasmine was a gorgeous girl, and we were surprised she wasn’t adopted. She was always affectionate, bright and bouncy, and we enjoyed her very much.
Jasmine had a great love of chasing cats that eventually got her into trouble. Someone rewarded her with an armed swat to the face that resulted in her losing an eye. Thankfully she came through the enucleation surgery just fine and didn’t let the change bother her.
As she got older, Jasmine developed tooth root issues that required antibiotics and regular procedures. Sadly she wasn’t able to recover from her recent major surgery. We are devastated to lose her, but thankful for all of the good years we had together due to advances in rabbit medicine and the experienced vets at the Avian and Exotic Clinic of Monterey.
Calliope came to us in December of 2020 at the age of 4 with her friend Delphi. They hit it off with Sammy and were a happy trio until Delphi passed away last year.
Calliope was the shyest of the three, spending most of her time in a pigloo, and often turtling around when she wanted food or water. She was an easy girl, always eager at mealtime, and never squabbling with the others.
Calliope had been showing signs of age for several months, but she bounced back with medication and kept on going. She declined quickly after Sammy passed away and has gone to join him and Delphi in green pastures. Rest in peace, sweet girl. 🩷🐹🌈 ... See MoreSee Less
Our Red Rocker was left with 3 other guinea pigs (most likely siblings) at Monterey County Animal Services in May of 2017. They were brought to us in October of 2017, along with 2 girls who had been dropped off at the shelter in July, by one of the officers who had taken them all home but could no longer keep them.
Sammy and the two other boys became the Van Halen Boys and lived happily together until Eddie and Alex passed away. Sammy then moved in with Delphi and Calliope.
As all three girls from the original group had been pregnant, Sammy is probably either father or uncle to the 8 babies they delivered: Pebbles and BamBam from Wilma, Pixel and Ray from Sparkle, and Caramel, Honey, Truffle and Parfait from Betty.
Sammy enjoyed family life and exploring at run time. He had a distinct personality that wasn’t especially outgoing, but he definitely had a presence. We enjoyed him very much and are glad he had a good long life with us. Rest in peace, sweet boy. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
