Gorgeous Agoutis

Beware of a bit of piggy spam, but I want to share a few pigtures of my rainbow piggies with you. :whistle:

One of my first piggies with agouti patches was Snoopy. He was really my mum's piggy, because, even though I was the one to bring him home from the rescue, he never really liked me that much ... but he loved my mum.

He lived to be about six years old and was husboar to three girls.
First he lived with the lovely and docile Bessy.

After Daisy moved in (at that time I still thought, that it couldn't be too hard to bond adult females - Bessy and Daisy really showed me!), Snoopy decided that he preferred the younger Daisy. She was about his age and the great love of his life.
Bessy was bonded with another boar, who adored her.

Snoopy was a pretty timid boy, but Daisy made sure that he was safe. Unfortunately, Daisy died quite suddenly about two years later. :(

After Daisy's death Snoopy was heart broken, but he spent his last months in the company of beautiful Dinih.

This was my sweet Kimi. She was already a senior piggy when I took her home from an animal shelter. She was very special, because she couldn't be bonded with other piggies, but was extremely attached to humans.
I would even take her with me, when I went to my parent's place to visit for an hour or two. She had her only little bag, that kept her cozy even in winter.
She was also a real biter :blink: and quite a character. :wub:

Georgina, Georgie for short, was a beautiful golden agouti. She was a breeder's piggy, but came to my through a rescue, because the breeder had to give up most of her piggies due to her daughter's illness.
Georgie was very timid at first, but with a lot of patience and TLC she became a pretty relaxed piggy and was often photographed.
Her fur looked like a polished chestnut in sunlight.
Sadly, Georgie passed away aged 2.5 years without any prior warning.
 
Sorry about the chaos posting. These old pigtures are most easily found on my old computer that can be a bit of a diva. But I hope it will work again for a little while.
So back to Nui. Nui was a breeder's pig. The breeder was a friend of mine, member of the original team of 'my' advice website and a great photographer. I visited her once to search for pictures for an article of mine ... and this was when I first held Nui in my hands. She was a day or two old at the time. :luv:

She was a darling baby and a darling grown up. As youngest in the group she was at the buttom of the hierarchy, but when Dinih joined the group, she was quite impressed by Nui's hairdo and Nui made the best of it (though Dinih was quite at the top of the hierarchy).
Guinea pig groups can teach the best soaps a lot about relationships. ;)

I'd forgotten about this thread (how could I!). Sadly all my gorgeous agouti boys who were in this thread earlier have left me. The only one I have now with any agouti colouring is Timmy who has a little bit in the dark side of his face and some lemon ticks through theIMG_1450 - Copy.webp black/grey on his back.
