Random Piggie Pictures #46
It took some doing. Tom was not sold on the concept of 10 animals. We saw Finn at Country Max one night and I fell in love, husband said he had to think about it. My son cried. Two days later, husband comes home from work, comes downstairs and I see him eyeballing the cages. He says, "I've been thinking about a house bun all day. But where would we put one?"
My response was, "Well...since you asked..." Followed by me pulling out blueprints I'd drawn of the space. We went back to CM to get hay, Finn was still there. He sighs, leans down and says to him, "What do you think? You wanna get out of here and go home?"
Then he totally took my blueprints and ran with it. Cut and scored the platform out of untreated pine and vinyl stick-back tiles. He was downstairs gluing and sanding. The he handed it over to me and I did the grids the way I wanted and built the door. I actually shared my photos on Facebook and had some people ask me to help them upgrade spaces for their own rabbits.

Hello everyone! New mom here to three female guinea pigs (teddies).
Black & White Sow + Black/Gold/White Sow, sisters born 12/29/2016.
Tortoise Shell & White Sow, born 12/7/2016.
Sorry about the poor quality pictures. Top picture was taken in the evening while all three were out.
Bottom left is their housing set up - half of the cage is cut out in the picture.
Their housing is approx. 12-13 square foot.
Bottom right image is of them hiding in the corners of their bed on their first day home.

Lynx - Yep! I actually made sure alongside with the woman I adopted these from, of their gender (using her knowledge and my prior research).
As cute as I think guinea pig babies are, I would prefer not to add any more little ones to the world when there are so many adorable ones already to adopt.
WindeSpirit - Thank you! I thought the same thing. They're still adjusting to their new home.
The tortoise shell & white sow (named Mango), is very spunky and is always the first to explore.
It's so funny/cute to me to see their different personalities interacting.

I just realized I never posted pics of Rosie so here are some pics of her, one set the first night she came home (those pics have her with a bow) and the others I took when she was still a single though had piggy neighbors. I'm considering doing a thread over at Cavy Chronicles for the trio in the near future but am waiting to see how things work out.
In the mean time, this is Rosie:
First night here (Rosie is my pancaker)
And these were a little before Christmas. By this time, I learned that she A) Will find a way to get rid of any hair clips and B) Prefers her hair "natural"--by which I mean even after grooming, she needs to do a quick shake to "fix" my inability to put every strand of hair where they need to be...these pics will give you a good idea why I can't do it correctly. They aren't good quality but just...I had to share
