my piggie "family"

[nicole]

Here's a pictures of my piggies I have right now. They aren't a real family but they do look and act like one. The black and white skinny pig is Albert, my neutered male. The calico is Bugsie, a girl I bought just after Christmas when Albert's cage mate Fiona died. The little black and white one is my recent addition, Coco. She's about 7 weeks old I think. I got Coco because I was worried about what would happen when Albert passed on, he's alot older than Bugsie who is only about 9 months old. I live in a rural area where guinea pigs are hard to find so I wanted to have a cage mate for Bugsie should the need arise. I don't know how old Albert is but the vet at the SPCA I got him from said he was "old" and near the end of his life span. I've had him almost a year now.

They all get along wonderfully and I've never seen any squabbles between any of them. They just got moved into the new are, the kiddie pool, when I introduced Coco and they all started sleeping in the one hide together right away.

Thanks everyone! Albert is very handsome skinny pig, Fiona was almost identical to him. They have never tried to jump out or climb.

If mine were in there they would certainly try to jump out!
They do look very cosy though =)

Wow, I was thinking the same about jumping. They must be happy where they are :-)

I was worried about them jumping too, so I kept it on the floor for the first while. No one ever tried so I put it up on the table to make it easier for me.

Thanks for all the kind words.
