Well, we tried the sock method for a night. Nope. Turns out just wrapping him in gauze gives much better results to keep Frank from scratching while he heals. He looked really cute though.

I brought home a *very* pregnant girl this summer.... and now she and her baby are members of the family forever. Sweet Starlight, and Mama Molly.

Little does he know, he's about to get his nails trimmed....
Single male pig, available to adopt. He likes people, but cannot be housed with other animals. He becomes very aggressive and attacks even the gentlest of pigs.

The hay loft has been a complete and total success.

Pepper and Clover would like to formally announce that they are ready for their forever home. 💛🐹🐹💜

These two ladies came into my care quite shy, glued to each other like fuzzy magnets. With time, patience, and more hay than they knew what to do with, they've begun to show their personalities. Pepper is the cuddler, Clover is the squeaky explorer.

They’re looking for a family who understands that guinea pigs want a cozy, spacious setup, lots of fresh veggies, and humans who will listen to all their dramatic wheeks about how breakfast was five minutes late.

If you’ve been thinking about adding some soft little souls to your home, these girls are absolutely ready to love and be loved. 💕

Send a message if you’d like to meet Pepper and Clover! They can’t wait to charm you.

In corner B, our smallest contender, Mandy. Don't let her small stature fool you, she's a firework and one of the most opinionated pigs we've had. She attempts to mother hen the older pigs, who pay her no attention.

In corner A, we have Dolly. Dolly is about a year old, skittish when being picked up, but loves to cuddle! Note the uneaten pea flakes, not even the most delectable treat will distract her from her purpose.

What a fall we've had already! I had two on pregnancy watch, one is definitely pregnant, the other is still questionable.

I have three pairs of bonded ladies ready to find forever homes! Please reach out if you're ready to bring home these loving, sweet, hilarious babies.

Hello friends! We have been quiet online lately, what a busy summer! I have 3 pairs of bonded girls ready to find new homes, as well as one single boar, who has a very hard time making friends, but absolutely loves humans.

Will do a photo shoot in the next few days. For now, here is a picture from the fireworks competition!

Not exactly Glamour Shots, but have a glance at two recent arrivals! These ladies are on pregnancy watch after an encounter with a boar was unnoticed for at least 24 hours. They are vet checked and healthy, waiting to see if any beans develop in the next few weeks. Hoping we defy the odds and avoid pregnancy, as these two are still babies themselves. I'll be watching them for the next 6-8 weeks to be sure they aren't going to triple in size, but after that, they are going to need a forever home.
