Is it Womble going to Rutland House for his breathing too? If so Blod says "hey handsome meet me in the CT scanner for a honky wheezy holiday romance" :)
Now I bet those naughty pignappers @Betsy and @Siikibam cant make him an offer like that lol :)

He may /may not be going to Rutland depending on how his condition goes within the next week. If he improves he might to have to go. If he stays the same or gets worse he will go for a referral.

He's grumpy boy. Are you sure you can handle him Blod? He can be a bit oblivious either that or he's just not bothered to notice. He tends to do his own thing. He's a bit of a loner but he's also laid back.

Ah but Blod says she'll even do a swap and send Theo to live with Womble's ladies! Theo ate Blod's lettuce yesterday, not just any lettuce but the leaf with her bisolvon on...!

The outrage! The absolute insolence! Womble has his bisolvon on his pepper. He's not massively keen as he wishes he could have food without bisolvon and fibreplex hidden in it....But stealing food...the very idea! An affront to the guinea senses! How very dare! (He's incensed, food stealing rubs him up the wrong way.)

Blod mostly gets bisolvon on naughty apple slices but yesterday it was lettuce... for 5 seconds until it got stolen! Blod was not pleased, especially because that meant she had to be abducted from the cage for her morning medicine!

Yes. Womble is also displeased at being furrito'd (becoming a furry burrito and wrapped up in a towel for his medicine aka a guinea swaddle) he also dislikes going to guinea prison. (Being nebulised in a crate) the humans will pay for this with my cold indifference. Unless they have food.

Dennis (RIP) hated piggie prison too Womble. He hated it so very much he even refused to eat the treats that his Slave had put in there. If he had manged to get better from the URI that finally got the better of him, he would very much be in sympathy with you Womble.
 
Had a intermediary clean out today. Pinto runs away a lot at sudden movements but seeing me brush and pick up poop and move things around she got strangely curious and sniffed around where I was cleaning, generally getting in the way.🐹"Look mum! I'm helping! "

Everyone gets excited when the new bath mats go down and fresh hay comes out of the hay box. 🐹 "We never get fresh hay ever!" (Only every day and sometimes twice a day they get a little pile on top) Even indifferent Womble gives you a little hoppity hop before he chows down. The girls dive in face first and disappear.
🐹"Leave me...let the pile take me now.... "

They love a nice clean, everyone gets excited when everything is refreshed and have a nice sniff around and play in the hay before the pre-dinner snooze.
 
This thread is becoming less 'Kelly's cavies' and more 'The Womble show - co-starring Pinto-bean!'

It is so difficult to get pictures of Truffle. She is such a skittish pig and runs as soon as I approach her. When I feed her in a hide, because of her colours, she blends into the shadows behind her so it's difficult to get a good picture.

She is an active guinea pig and she enjoys her noms. She's just runs as soon as you approach.

I'm trying to get more pics of her, but she is difficult!

The one below was done from a distance of 2 metres, using the full range of zoom on my phone. 😓

As you can see she has built herself a little nest of hay. 🐹❤
 
I am an expectant girl with my paws rested on my bowl and I have been like this for ten minutes despite it being two hours away from dinner time.

Sitting. Waiting. Hungry.

She's turned towards me because I have foolishly approached and raised her expectation.

Pinto is seriously thinking about making complaints about the mistreatment she is receiving at the hands of these humans and asks Betsy's assistance.

Dear Pinto
You need to write a letter of complaint to the GPU (Guinea Pig Union) that goes something like this:-

"Dear GPU

I am not being fed! My Slave makes me wait hours and hours and hours (well probably around 5 minutes) for my pellets. I hint by standing with my feet on my food bowl and I just get ignored. Even when my Slave sees my looking at her cutely with my feed on the food bowl I still get ignored! It really isn't good enough. I may get lots of hay but I JUST WANT MY PELLETS. I like eating my pellets they are very yummy.

Yours sincerely

Pinto the Piggy"

Hope this helps!

Thank you Betsy - love and Wheeks - Pinto.
 
Hello all,

Haven't been on for a while for health reasons. The pigs are still being their naughty selves. Womble had a case of bloat about 2 weeks ago but we got him treated and he was back to his usual demanding self in a couple of days.

I noticed he wasn't eating or coming to the bars to beg for his morning veggies and I had noticed the night before his poohs we getting smaller. He was sat in his hide fluffed up and feeling sorry for himself so I booked an appointment at our regular vet. (Littlecroft)

The vet listened to his belly and said his gut was quieter than it should be so she gave him an anti-inflammatory and a gut stimulant, told us to feed him critical care to keep his gut moving and told us to use the infocol we had. We also gave him less veggies for a couple of days. She told us to bring him back the next day. After a couple of hours he was eating like normal and by the next day he was much brighter but we kept an eye on his input and output for the next couple of days.

The girls have gotten big!
Truffle is over 1kg and Pinto is not far behind at 800-900g.
Pinto is the most demanding guinea pig and starts the veggy war cry and gets the othet two wound up.

Truffle is noisy too, but nothing beats the high pitched Pinto scream.
I'll have to put a video up soon, but it is so cute.😘
We call Pinto 'our sunshine' because she brightens up our day and she's blonde.

Womble is happy enough in his own company, he regards the other guinea pigs with a quick glance or a little sniff and then gets on with eating pretty quickly.

We're wondering whether Womble is a little older than the rescue told us and maybe Stripe was as well, regardless we love our grumpy little old man.
We got him in 2018 and they said he was 8 months but being a rescue this maybe was an estimate so we put hia age around 4-5 years old. :)

Sorry about the long update. Hope everyone is keeping well. Below I have put a couple of pictures I have taken. I will add some videos later on when I have the time to upload them to youtube.
