Our sweet little Smiggle got adopted yesterday.

It’s been lovely to foster her for a couple of weeks, and I will miss her, but I’m so happy that she’s got a forever home with her new friend, Kiki. They were cuddled up together within an hour of meeting!

Now I just need to find an equally perfect home for Milk and Rocky. They’ll need a big cage and would be suited to a family who can interact with them quite a bit, as they’re very active little boys.

Milk and Rocky got their extra space upstairs. Milky loves it, Rocky is still figuring it out.

(The ramp looks too steep in the photo - it’s ok, it’s just my bad photography skills.)

Milk and Rocky are long term borders, while their mum is overseas, dealing with family issues. Unfortunately she’s not going to be able to move back to Sydney any time soon, so she’s decided that it would be best if Milk and Rocky found a new home.

If anyone wants further details, please let me know. I’ll post some cute photos of them tomorrow. They’re about 2.5 years old and the most active, funny little boys ever!

Milk and Rocky got a few new things to explore in their cage tonight. They’re very interested and excited!

Milk hasn’t even noticed that his Emotional Support Cardboard Box is missing!

I think I’m going to give their cage a proper makeover in a couple of days and add an upstairs loft.

Remember to get your furbabies booked in with us if you’re going on holiday soon.

We’re staying home over the upcoming school holiday in July, so will be here to look after your beautiful piggies.

Kissy and Missy are being adopted! The lovely Aolifu Qi Chen Yu is going to love them to pieces!
I’m so happy for them. They really are adorable girls.

Kissy’s other two children, Milk and Rocky, went from being long term boarders to available for adoption yesterday. My heart breaks for their mum, who has done everything she can to keep them safe until she can move back to Sydney. Unfortunately, that’s not going to be for a while and she’s made the difficult decision to surrender them. We’ve got to wait a few days until we’re sure Milk’s URI is better and then the boys will be on the lookout for a new home.

We got some fabulous news yesterday…Kissy and Missy are being adopted!

Their new human can’t wait to come and get them, so they’re leaving tonight! They’re going to a fabulous home, where they will be absolutely adored.

I’m so happy for this beautiful mum and daughter pair. They’re Misti’s sister and niece, so I’ve got a real soft spot for them.

I’m sure it’ll be hard for Rocky and Milk to see their mum and sister leave. Lots of extra snuggles for them.

Misti couldn’t care less about her relatives and is glad that two of them are finally going!🤣🤣

It’s been a busy couple of weeks!

Nelly developed an upset stomach and bloat (in the middle of the night, of course!), new foster boy Milk had a respiratory infection and Misti’s having surgery tomorrow for her ovarian cyst.

To be on the safe side, we had to relocate all the piggies to different rooms, away from Mr Sneezy (Milk), so I’ve had guinea pigs in every room. 😩Misti’s surgery was delayed by a week, to make sure she hadn’t caught it and I’ve spent a lot of time looking after Nelly.

Thankfully, things are settling down. Misti should be ok in a few days. Nelly is on the mend and little Milk is all better😍.

Yesterday Dandelion went home with Varkie for a trial run. Fingers crossed they continue to be friends.

Milk and Rocky arrived. They’re staying for a few months, while their human is overseas. Let’s just say that these all night party piggies made their presence felt and heard! 🤣

Dudley and Daisy stayed in their pigloos and ignored the commotion.

Queen Emily celebrated her five year adoptionversary with a lettuce and crowns themed party. All the piggies got a cupcake!

This morning they all went outside to get some grass for a while and are now napping peacefully. ❤️

Such a busy day today!

Varkie is here for the afternoon, to see if he gets on with foster boy, Dandelion. I’d love to see Dandelion find a home, so fingers crossed!

Regular guests Dudley and Daisy are coming to stay for a few days.

Milk and Rocky are going to be boarding with me for two or three months, as their family has to go overseas for a while.

As for me, I’ve got a lot of piggy laundry and cage setting up to get on with!

The Easter Bunny hopped by to drop off some carrots and corn husks for the guineas. 🐰 🐇

Welcome back, Sir Percival and Sir Orville (Percy and Oreo)!

After fostering these two beautiful boys for a few months, it’s wonderful that they make regular trips back to see me, while their humans are on holiday.

They’ve been here for five minutes and have already given me a cuddle, explored their cage and tucked into some treats.
