They do follow each other nose to tail! once she's settled in, there will be photos galore, Alfie has his own topic, I'll post them in there.

So wonderful to read this thread and see the result of a concerned owner, and the offer of a great new home.
Can't wait to see pics.

On her way to her new home, take good care of her @BossHogg

 

[SmudgieSmith]

Just showed this photo to the gang, they're looking forward to meeting the newest addition to the madhouse!

FYI - that's her smiling and looking forward, not always easy to know which end is which

 

[BossHogg]

She'll get the bestest of care, my piggies want for nothing. I also have the luxury of one of the best cavy savvy vets in the north west on my doorstep, with 24/7 access.

 

[BossHogg]

You can tell which end is which with Stella, its the end that's always in the food bowl!

 

[madguinealady]

Which vet do you use @BossHogg ?She is doing great, talking through the bars to my girls.And she is a cuddle monster.

 

[BossHogg]

I use Millcroft in Cockermouth.

 

[madguinealady]

Too far for me.I use falcon vets in Carlisle.They did both my castrations and were brilliant with heathcliffe with his complications.They seem pretty knowledgeable and don't just have the "it's just a guinea pig" attitude.Debbie from becklen rescue used them for all hers.They were really good when I had to get Neo put to sleep too.

 

[BossHogg]

Perfect for me as they also have a part time surgery here in Maryport.

Oh, that is good to hear, she does love a cuddle and I'm so pleased she is talking to your girls x

 

[madguinealady]

My lot are pretty laid back.Her cage is in the guinea pig run so she has company.She is Soooooo fluffy.

Is the thread just called Alfie?

 

[BossHogg]

Alfie and his ladeez

 

[VickiA]

Omg she looks an absolute beauty. I'm so glad she's on her way to a fabulous new home.

 

[madguinealady]

She is stunning.

Alfie And His Ladeez!

 

[BossHogg]

Just picked her up, be heading home shortly.

 

[BossHogg]

No-one else can get a look in, Christine is smitten, Sadie has just introduced herself by doing the biggest pee down Christine's top.

 

[BossHogg]

Happily tucking into baby corn and broccoli.

 

[BossHogg]

First introduction didn't go to plan, just a quick meeting, lots of chattering and lunging but no biting. I've put Sadie back into the travel box overnight to let things settle down. I'll try them in a play pen in the living room once they've all had a bath with the same pet shampoo.

 

[SmudgieSmith]

Good to see her so comfy with Christine, fingers crossed tomorrow goes well

 

[BossHogg]

She's had a bonding bath as is currently tucking into breakfast in the hospital cage.

 

[BossHogg]

Busy tucking into a mountain of hay, I'll let her settle in this morning, and bath the other 3 rebels and commence with the bonding this afternoon, I'll clean the hutch while they're getting used to one another.

 

[Swissgreys]

I am loving reading the updates.
She looks gorgeous and very settled.
Fingers crossed the bonding goes well this afternoon.
I look forward to photos of you prancing around the garden wearing oven gloves

 

[Julie M]

Good luck with the bonding.

 

[BossHogg]

I'm going to need it! The one I thought wouldn't bother was the first to lunge - Stella!

 

[madguinealady]

I'm gobsmacked.They are usually so laid back.What happens if it doesn't work?

 

[Claire W]

Fingers crossed for a successful bond x
