1) Guinea
I would like to enter Guinea He's found life hard these past few months, after losing his companion of 4 years, he went through an awful lot of heart ache, he just wasn't the same guinea pig he used to be
Now though, he is now back to his normal cheeky self, as he's settled down with a new wife I am so happy he has found a lovely girly to live with for the rest of his days
2) Lennie
He spent his first 6 months living in a 2 foot by 1 foot box, ignored in a girls bedroom with her clothes and stuff thrown on top of the box. When he came to me he shook with fear and hid but with weeks of patience and care he is now such a chilled out dude. Six months on, he is so loving and thinks he owns the place
3) Weenie
I got her from a farm, they didnt know how old she was the man said she was about 2 weeks!?! She was the size of a small hamster, had scabby fur with lots of dander and bald spots. Never the less she came home with me and we bought her a friend who looked like a giant compared to her.
I syringe fed her lactol every 3 hours and she slowly began to put on weight, after the tin of lactol was empty she looked alot better, she had started to put on weight and become rounded like her friend. She became alot more tame and trusting and began to tuck into her veggies and hay. About 2 months after we got her she looked great, but then began loosing hair again and turned out she had mites. So she had about 4 weeks treatment for those and made a full recovery. She had a rough start in the world but is doing great now and is the sweetest thing ever
4) Howie
Here's my Howie. When i first saw him on Guinea Rehome he was in a rescue living on his own; sadly he'd lost his 3 previous partners & seemed such a lost soul when i first saw him. He came to live with me & my Lottie but sadly she too left him just 2 days later.
Howie's story has a happy ending, after living with Bijou, who he let "get away with murder" because he's so mild mannered he now lives with his 2 young wives; Lolly & Looby & has turned into quite a comedian.
This is him telling the "Wide Mouth Frog Joke"
5) Clover (Clo)
I would love to enter my baby Clo. This will sound like a sob story.. but she has been so brave. For the last year and a half of her life, she has lived alone (''mummy was told we usually only live until we are 5, and i was 6 at the time''). Since then clover has had a big op to remove cysts/be spayed. She took a long time to get back to being herself (i didn't think she would make it, but we got there in the end). Despite all the xrays, scans (being pinned by sand bags apparently ), being held on her back to treat her sores twice a day, going to the vet everyday for the last 2 weeks for injections and not to mention the kidney stones she's had to endure, she's such a little character. Up until recently, she used to love to trot up and down the hall after me (squeaking as she goes), lick & nibble my hands, climb into anything baggy that i'm wearing, help me groom her (i start to clean one part of her, and she starts on that bit too with me) & when you scratch her back, she stretches out like a cat and does a big yawn (it's so cute). She is so very poorly now, and the very hard decision has been made for her to go to the rainbow bridge. She brought so much happiness to us all in our family.
6) Ralfie
Ralfie had spent all of his life living in Pets at Home in Rugby. The staff had given him lots of love and attention but it wasn't like having a forever home. He had a best friend and he really wanted to go to a new home with this special friend of his. Sadly his friend became ill and died and Ralfie was all alone and very sad!
They wanted to find him a special home and they decided they would like either me or Ellie to have him. He came to live with me and although he was happy around so many other piggies he still needed a special friend. We found Berby on the Guinea Pig Rehome site and he became his special cage mate and they settled down very quickly together.
Sadly the very next week Mr Tiggy left us for the Bridge and his son Joe was left all alone! We worried that Joe would pine for his dad and for a few days he didn't eat very much and sat in the corner of his cage looking very sad!
Joe loved looking into Ralfie and Berby's cage and watching them running around playing so I decided to try putting them all together. It was a great success!
Now Ralfie has two very special friends and he and Berby have made Joe a very happy little man again!
7) Pepper
Pepper (and Beauty) came to me on Boxing Day 2006, their previous owners no longer wanted to them and had gotten bored. They lived in a tiny hutch outside throughout the winter with only eachother for warmth. They lived on very dirty woodshavings (their owners didn't think, oh someones coming to collect them lets clean them out) with no hay, and were also never fed veggies. Since coming to me they have both been very skittish but have now got into a routine and they certainly let us know when it's dinner time! Pepper was a lot more skittish than Beauty but he is finally coming round. Okay, so they both still run a marathon when they see me coming but we're getting there, and they will finally relax when they're out of the cage now.

12) Tetley
Tetley has just had surgery to remove a bladder stone and the poor little chap is feeling very sorry for himself. He was taken ill very suddenly and had to have immediate surgery. He is recovering slowly although he is obviously still in some pain and he currently has 6 staples holding his tummy together!

15) Jermey
I'd like to nominate Jeremy. He came to us from a rescue in March - he had been very well looked after but he had had to be separated from his lady piggy and his family as he was a bit naughty and kept bonking them (!), so he was a bit lost and lonely when he first came to us, but we introduced him to Tiger and although there's been a bit of hair-pulling, he has come on in leaps and bounds (and popcorns) and now, full of confidence, leads exploratory expeditions into the far reaches of the conservatory with the fearlessness and intrepidation of Indiana Jones!
