So, some of you may be aware of Willow's abscess, removal and bizarre self-surgery traumas all before she was three months old! She's grown from a little scrappling barely over 300g (though at that stage she was a smidge heavier than Marble - the only time she has been!) to a long lean girl (in contrast to Marble's short 'n' squat frame). She's gained almost 300g in two and a half months and Marble's more than doubled her weight, which seems crazy when I think it wasn't so long ago I picked up these pocket puffballs! They're not babies for long!

Here's Willow in her "I'm a big pig now, you'd better take me seriously!" pose :))

She's beautiful. I was thinking this morning how fast my piggies have grown since I got them 4 months ago. They were so tiny and now they are on adult pellets already, a bit early because they were running out of their young pellets and they will be 6 months next month and a new packet would just go to waste. It was a little sad but exciting to see them grow into adulthood.
 
Aww she's beautiful :wub:
its amazing how fast they grow - she looks likes she's trying to perfect the 'stink-eye' pose :))
 
Oh, she's perfected 'stink eye', 'Mummy please feed me I'm staaaarving!' and 'who, me?' to a tee, believe me! :))
 
Willow is such a beautiful girl, I love her fur colour :love: So pleased Willow has recovered with your amazing care x
 
@sport_billy thanks, but I owe more to the amazing exotics vet who treated Willow physically and me emotionally - I imagine placating and reassuring anxious, panicky owners is often the harder part of the job!

Are they on the vet locator? You can't beat the support of a good vet
 
No, he's a visiting expert at the vet I went to - I don't know of his 'home' surgery :hmm:
