Aww that'll be amazing so you'll have a herd of 3?! How old is the little on you're picking up? And I find they're alot more confident in a herd! Best of luck for the weekend! Let me know how the bonding goes take lots of pics! So excited for you! Not too long left for Winston!
Glad Jazzy is doing sowell!Thank you just on the way to the vets nowHoping little Winston is healing ok

Hi it okay thank you he's now on two lots of antibiotics for 7-10 days so I'm hoping that dowa the trick! How're your pigs doing?
My boys are having a great time experiencing their first carrot cottage and now foraging their pellets. Thanks for asking . Elvis can sympathize with Winston about antibiotics though, he had weeks of the stuff for an abscess earlier this year. Sending healing wheeks for Winston 
Aww glad to hear - the carrot cottage sounds great what exactly is it? And thank you hopefully it won't be for too much longer!Paws crossed this will be the last week of yucky antibiotics
It's a cardboard house covered with an edible coating (which I presume is carrot) so they can eat the entire thing Carrot cottage!
Wow that looks amazing! I've seen something similar in the past but I always presumed they wouldn't eat it! Great that they like it!
Ted is doing fine, he goes to see his vet who performs conscious dentals in Northampton on Monday, our appt is at 10.00 am so it’s up at 3.00 am to get there but we don’t mind as long as it keeps his crazy teeth in check. Ginger and Posh are both very healthy and enjoying life with Ted xThank you
Ohh wow so early! Best of luck for the dental! Sounds like quite a difficult procedure for a guinea pig let me know how you get on! Do his teeth just keep on growing then?
We have been visiting Simon Maddock for conscious dentals for a few years now. Ted grows sharp spurs on a few outside edges of his teeth. When the spurs grow long 2/3 mm they rub against his cheek and cause ulceration so we have to keep them filed down. It’s an expert but relatively straightforward procedure and very effective as long as the vet knows exactly how to file them down. Sadly it is a very rare skill and very few vets know how to do it properly, hence the 600 miles round trip
Glad to hear all piggies are doing well bless him that must be so hard and stressful for you both! How often does he need his teeth filing? The problem is probably more common than you think sadly many owners may not notice/know what to do.
Glad he's getting it sorted! Thank you! How're your pigs doing?
We take turns with another couple to drive up Ted and their two dental piggies Mikey and Peaches. It’s every 14-16 days, Ted can actually manage for 21 days but we prefer to do 14 days for now as it helps the other couple‘s piggies who need 14 day intervals atm and their owners are young and work full time whereas we are retired xGlad to hear all piggies are doing well bless him that must be so hard and stressful for you both!

Aww that's good that you guys take it in turns and he must be good to travel that far! Hope it's not too expensive! He's so lucky that you guys care so much to travel that far to give him the best treatment!We take turns with another couple to drive up Ted and their two dental piggies Mikey and Peaches.

Ted is very laid back and doesn’t mind travelling. The dentals are conscious and the piggie is in a sitting position (nurse holding in place) and wears a dental brace and cheek separators, it takes about 5 minutes to file the teeth back correctly and the piggies are able to eat straight away. He is an amazing vet/surgeon in all piggie illnesses not just teeth
Hi thank you for asking! He's doing well thank you he's been on two antibiotics for the past week now instead of one and in my opinion it looks 100 x better! Went to the vet yesterday for what I was hoping to be the final check up and she was really pleased and says it's mostly closed up now but she managed to squeeze a tiny bit of puss out (which I hadn't been able to do) so he's now going to be on the antibiotics until Monday and hopefully that should do it! Still eating/drinking etc has but on weight but not as much as I'd expect in a week but atleast he's not losing any! How's Bill and Ted doing?
Aw we are all fine here thanks xHi thank you for asking! He's doing well thank you he's been on two antibiotics for the past week now instead of one and in my opinion it looks 100 x better!

Thank you, it looks like he's completely healed which is kind of falsely reassuring but it makes me feel more positive that Monday could be the day! As it does look so much better! and glad to hear
After photo taken today!
week 2? 
week 1
Thank you he has! So relieved it's all over at last!Well done Winston! You've been so brave
Thank you and I'm sure he'll be happy he'll be living with 5 sows now!
Thank you! Looking forward to bonding next. I am planning to adopt a solo guinea pig who's been living on her all her life she's 13 months old so I'm hoping to bond her with my sows and then bond Winston with the herd. Not sure which order would be best though! May post a thread but feel like I'm posting alot of them atm
how's bonding going for your herd so far?
