Betsy's Guinea Pigs

Had a scare tonight! I couldn't find Meg :yikes: . I went to give her her dose of Metacam and she wasn't in the top of the hutch. I know I put her back in the hutch when I brought her in from outside so I couldn't think where she might be. I looked in the top of the hutch, I moved everything and even took out the hay from the hay boxes while I was calling her but she wasn't there! Then I looked in the bottom of the hutch thinking I couldn't possibly have put her in there and guess what? I had! There was no argy bargy, no chasing, no squealing, no nothing that you would expect from a piggy suddenly going into an environment that another 2 piggies occupy. I guess I must have been lucky. They did all live together at one time and they must have remembered each other. Also they live really close to each other and share the run in the garage every other day so the smells mingle all the time.
 
Is Patsy still a baby?
Sorry if you have already posted her age.
 
Patsy arrived a week ago and is beginning to settle in. :) In the morning her little face is greeting me along with Christian's but not Meg's (as I have to weigh Meg every morning and she hates being picked up). Patsy clearly wants her breakfast pellets and isn't that shy at coming to the bowl anymore. When it's treat time she now doesn't run off and takes the treat out of my hand and at veg time I don't have to put the veg bowl under her nose now for her to choose what she wants before the veg gets scatter fed she is there when I call "dindins". She still is not too happy about being picked up but then which piggy is? Patsy is a confident, gentle piggy. I am so pleased I can give her a forever home for how long she has left. She will be spoilt rotten here.

Such a happy little lady all settled in x
 
Dennis is a Teddy, Betsy and Patsy are Sheltie mixes, Christian is a Silver Agouti and Meg is an American Black. Saying this they are all mixed in with other breeds just that these ones are the more dominant. Meg, Dennis and Christian are siblings and they are all different. Mum (Velvet RIP) was a Lemon Agouti (shop pregnancy).

I am so excited! Patsy spoke for the first time this morning! She has quite a deep voice and I wondered what it was first of all. Then she spoke again and I realised it was her! She must be really happy here. :D
