It's been a while since I last posted any pigtures and a lot has changed in the piggy household. Beloved piggies have crossed over the Bridge and there are many new faces around the place.

My last set of trips to Milhaven started when I lost my gorgeous Gerald, leaving Robbie in need of a new friend. Now in true me-fashion, it didn't end with just Robbie meeting Tic Tac and all being well with the world. That trip, just a couple of months ago now resulted in 11 new members of my family... outdid myself this time that's for sure! Robbie has Tic Tac, my herd has two new mums and four rampaging babies to look after, my facebook-feral-freebie George has a little buddy called Fred and... there's the furry potatoes.

The furry potatoes weren't on my radar when I took Robbie to meet Tic Tac. They'd not been with Jo long and were still on pregnancy watch at the time. But I knew. The minute I saw them I knew they were my piggies. I'm sure many of you will have experienced this - just seeing a piggy or piggies for the first time and being absolutely certain that they just HAVE to be yours.

Here they are: My chubby, beautiful, furry potatoes.

Maggie (Middle), Milly (R) an Molly (L)

They have this ability to put the biggest, stupidest grin on my face. I can't even explain it. They have these short, wide, stubby faces, really short ears and great big eyes (the fatty eye on Maggie and Molly only add to their charm in my eyes and Milly is just a stunning looking piggy). All I have to do is look at them and they immediately cheer me up.

It's a hard life being a Furtato.

Hope they cheer you up on this cold saturday evening, too! :D
 
No words, just :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:
Beautiful girls! x
 
Oh blimey, that should have come with a *kerplunk* warning. I'm in love with your furtatoes. Are they easy to tell apart?

Surprisingly yes! They've all got their own individual features to make it really easy. Milly doesn't have fatty eye so she's the easiest! Both Molly and Maggie have fatty eye and a ridge down their backs but Molly is far smaller with a more pronounced ridge.

I absolutely adore them. There was a fleeting moment where I thought they could join my herd but they are such a perfect little trio of furtatoes that there was no way that I was going to put them in there!
 
They are adorable! I'm glad you are able to tell them apeat as they look identical in that photo lol.
 
Aww I love cream coloured guinea pigs. I had one very similar to your three when I was a child. You seem to have quite a collection. I bet the rescue love it when you come to see them!

Haha I think so! 32 of my boys and girls are Milhaven piggies, and I don't think I've ever visited and come back with just the one/pair I originally went to adopt!

I just can't resist their cute little faces... If I've space and can look after them, they're welcome (definitely full up now though!). It's a brilliant hobby (read: life.) to have!
 
Congratulations! these ladies are sooooooooo stunning, I love them! :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:
