allergic

Hi all. I’ve had my boy Eddie since February but over the past 6-8 weeks I’ve been having terrible hay fever like symptoms on and off. I initially put it down to dust from home renovations but those were completed in late August and the house has been thoroughly cleaned many times since. I’ve...

Hi everyone! I am new here for anyone who doesn't know my piggy Gin and me. My piggy has a high-quality fleece liner from "Guineadad", since that was my only fleece liner I decided to get him another one from a different brand on Amazon, but it's also very nice quality. His new liner arrived...
