A Little Ginger Piggy

It has pretty much been proven that guinea pigs like to have a friend and the whole idea was to get Leigh's guinea pig a companion. It took her three weeks after finding the first one, to find a good second one. She picked out the sweetest little ginger colored piggy! :-)



Life never works out according to plan and after putting the new pig into the cage with the other one...the first one sniffed it for a second, walked away, turned around and in a full speed charge it trampled the little one! For the time being, the new piggy is living in a large laundry basket and we are really hoping that they will eventually be able to live in the same cage.




We are worried that she could be slightly sick. Even though it only happened once, her nose does run some. I am hoping that she will not have to be returned to the pet store because of it. She is the sweetest thing!

Awww! She is so sweet? What is her name? At our old house we found a baby guinea pig in the thorns, so we named her Bramble! -Rachel

What is the gender of your piggies?If you happen to have any questions about them we should be able to answer them, as we have two.
