Benji - Forum Sponsor Piggy - Teas.

Thank you to all those who have expressed their sympathy regarding the passing of my 'very extra special' boy. I am somewhat upset to see how few people have even acknowledged his passing. I guess that is due to the fact I am not a regular poster on the forum, but feel very sad that this means Benji clearly didn't touch many hearts on here. Life at TEAS is incredibly busy and my focus has to be on the animals in my care. Therefore I will no longer be posting any updates on the animals at TEAS on here and will just concentrate on our Facebook page. Apologies to anyone who doesn't use Facebook, although our page can be viewed by anyone and not just Facebook users. Here is the link to our page.

The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary (for guinea pigs with extra needs)
 
I've been on vacation and not spending so much time online, and this sad piece of news had slipped my radar. I'm ever so sorry to hear of the passing of Benji. Even though I'm relatively new to the forum, I'm familiar with Benji's story, and he most certainly did touch my heart.

Popcorn free dear Benji xx
 
I am sorry I did not see this post earlier. But I am having issues with my Wi FI connection, which I hope is now sorted. So any system access I had to keep limited as I was told I was nearing my limit.
I find this post a really sad post to read.
Losing Benji after providing so much care and then losing Toby will have hit you hard.
I don't use facebook but I hope you will give occasional updates on this forum so I know how you and TEAS are.
Please don't think Benji and all the guinea pigs you have cared for and continue to care for are forgotten.
You do an amazingly demanding and special type of caring for your guinea pigs in your charge.
Even if people are unable to show their support online their will be many members and ex members affected by this post.
Take care and I hope you can come to terms with Benji's loss.
 
So very sorry for the tragic loss! I rang my partner as soon as I saw the post about Benjis unfortunate passing :( we always loved to come and read the thread! We especially loved the video of him jumping through the air ❤️

He was a special boy and extremely brave! TEAS went above and beyond for the little lad and I can see how he loved you all dearly!

RIP little benji, popcorn over the rainbow bridge little man x
 
I am so sorry to hear your sad news.
RIP sweet Benji and Toby.

Very pleased to hear Tiggy is going to such a lovely home.

Benji's wife, Tiggy, will start her new life today. She no longer needs to be at TEAS, as the issues she originally came with are cured. Tiggy is a very lucky girl as she's going to a five star home with the lovely @Wiebke

Tiggy (Mrs Tiggywinkle) has now been renamed Teggy or officially Tegwen Draenog ("Beautiful and blessed hedgehog").

She is currently on the lawn, meeting her hopefully new piggy family through the bars.

I'm very sorry for the loss of Benji and Toby,TEAS does so much.i would like to thank you for all your support and devoted time to these special piggies.you would be sorely missed if you were not able to help these dental piggies.x
 
We are moving in the right direction; group rest with full bellies! Teggy is sitting right by the others. IMG_5341.webp

Teggy is going to spend the evening and night in a little bonding pen inside the group cage to settle in and get her bearings. I will assess tomorrow whether she is ready for the bonding or needs a bit more time.

Happy to say that the bonding has gone well!

In the overnight corner to help get her used to her new prospective home and friends (Big Pioden was of course ecstatic!)

At the moment things are a bit on the lively, but totally non-agressive side as dominance and the inevitable hierarchy sort-out have to run their due course to cement the new group. This phase usually takes a few days.
 
Sounding really good!
I really hope it all works out well.It certainly seems very promising.
Good luck Teggy.x
 
I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Benji. I love the photos you posted of him on here, he looked like a real character!
I'm glad to hear that Tiggy has been given a lovely home with Wiebke x
 
Oh just saw this thread, so very sad, was hoping for a happy ending. You have my upmost sympathies everyone at TEAS.:(
 
I posted on your FB page Debbie as I don't visit the forum here so much these days; I was very sad to hear about Benji, he was a very special little chap & you clearly adored him, I am so sorry xx Tiggy/Teggy has found a wonderful home with Wiebke :) xx
