Nut and Egg- Lots of photos

**Whisk_Luva** · 10-14-2007, 11:20 AM

I did not start this thread to be bashed.

Well, I really love my guinea pigs and for their sake and my parents I am going to have to give them away to my mum friend (who ADORES animals). My parents are trying to do up the garden and the guinea pigs eat all the grass etc and I have some very important tests coming up (GCSE's) and probably just wont have the time to give them the attention they need. It is easy with the hamsters as they are inside, dont make to much mess and are quick to clean out. The guineas are a different story.

I hope you understand.

Anyway... I went out to get some photos and videos today and they let me put them on my lap. They were from a guinea pig farm and were allowed to roam around fields and babies so they are basically wild and despite trying every day for 2 years they did not get much tamer. So them letting me put them on my lap was great

Here are *some* pictures from today: (I took so many!)

Awww, I love guinea pigs and miss owning them, but between allergies (I put up with it for 10 years) and having 7 cats having a piggy is impossible. Thanx for the beautiful pix. I do know piggies have to be tamed fairly young. My oldest one was 9 weeks old and had been unhandled when I got him and he was harder to tame than the younger ones I'd gotten which had already been handled in the pet store before I got them.

I hope the piggies will be happy in their new home and it's wise to know when an animal would be happier in another place even though it's a hard decision to make.

Thanx for sharing the pix!!

I'm sorry to hear this Ellie as I know how fond of those two little piggies you are and as always, i'm sure you have done what you think is best for Nut and Egg.

Wonderful pictures tho' - i'm very impressed that you managed (at long last!) to have a nice cuddle with them.

Aw, I know what a hard decision this was for you and how much you love them. I hope they will be happy in their new home. Since they are going to a friend of your Mum, maybe you will be able to vist them from time to time.

sorry (and just) seeing this. I can understand, I had a bunny when I had my zephyra the cat who thinks bunny is a snack sometimes so I kept her out in the garage with bigger hutch, etc. (I only had a room of my own for my pets) but it wasn't really fair or was as good as inside.

that was YEARS ago...wow.

but what you did was best for them. they're cute looking bunches (beautiful pictures by the way!) so it shouldn't be hard getting plenty of handloves! any luck last weekend? I hope you were happy with the decision of their new family.

((hugs)) go and visit when you can! I hope to see my bunny again too.
