Maple Meets Beans

[Beans&Toast]

So Maple joined the family on Thursday (I changed her name to Maple, I just think she suits it and it fits in with the food theme, Maple syrup ). Beans had been a bit lonely since losing Toast and wasn't quite herself anymore.

Enter Maple.

She is from the Ayr guinea pig rescue centre. This little pig is 8 months old, she is tiny at 700g, compaired to Beans at 1120g. She is the fastest little creature I have ever seen, which is why I'm yet to get a good photo of her, and she's certainly keeping Beans and myself on our toes!

She has the most crazy hair, when she's sitting still I can't tell which end is her bum and which is her face...

They are getting on well, it's only been 2 days so they're not best friends yet and they're still trying to decide who is boss, but there haven't been any fights, just some rumbling and kicking out of hideys, then some mutual eye licking to make up.











I will attempt to get some better photos of them together, she's just so fidgety it's impossible!

So glad that you’ve found a new friend for Beans! Great that you managed to rescue in Scotland as I know how hard that is!
Seem to be settling in well together too!
She has fantastic hair!
Photos are fine!

Thanks everyone, they are beautiful, if I do say so myself

Only thing with Maple is that when the lights go off at night she does laps of the cage at high speed, keeping me up and knocking Beans over in the process
Beans tries her best to keep up but she's older and a bit slower, bless her

Poor Beans. But Maple is crazy.

Maple has just ran a marathon at 70mph, running around my room. She's so fast that if you blink you'll miss her. She's now absolutely shattered and having a nap. Beans has joined her. Too cute

Maybe she is! Her art of levitation and hovering is masked by her long hair!

Maple, the amazing hover -pig!

Aww she is such a sweetie, but then so is beans. See I told you a young one would perk beans up.

You're right it definitely has. Beans really struggled after losing Toast but Maple has cheered her up and she's so active again

So fabulous to read these updates. I’m loving the thought of Maple the hover pig
