Secret Santa hiccup here. First piggies I gave out to Vic were lifers. She asked me for some more so I picked those I thought were LEAST likely to be adopted. Jake and Milo adult boars who had lived here a few months without one enquiry. I did say to Vic I suppose they could be adopted but unlikely.

Well the good fairy must have been watching over them as this weekend they went to a brilliant home into a bespoke very posh huge indoor enclosure. I had babies but they weren't interested in those - they only had eyes for Jake and Milo.

Now Jake has received a parcel this morning from his secret santa.

So Secret Santa - I hope you don't mind but I am going to allocate Jakes pressies to Mike. Mike came from the huge boar rescue that I took part in where the majority went to Suzy's quarantine area. Mike and Sully came here and were very popular for adoption. Sadly 2 days before they were due to go home Sully died leaving Mike alone :(

He seems to be adapting great but until he's paired up he's living here and that could be a while.

So Mike will receive Jakes Pressies and the secret santa sending to Milo - if you don't mind I am going to allocate yours to a pair of females - mum and baby - Gwenno and Mabil. They havent had a sniff of interest and mum is so shy I am really looking forward to treating her.

Hope this is okay

Here is Mike

Mikes photos to follow when I have time to breathe!
 
Great news and I just adore Mike's little face. Sure it won't be long before he finds a lovely home (with his new friend!) Mum and baby adorable too. Looking forward to their secret santa photos :-)
 
Aww fantastic news for Jake & Milo, their new home sounds a dream and I'm sure thats enough of a Christmas present to them that they don't mind sharing their presents with Mike, Gwenno and Mabil. Look forward to seeing the pressie photos :)
 
Due to being away for some time, I have missed out on secret santa this year which I feel really bad about.

Anyway, this thread is helping to cheer me up and it is lovely seeing the piggies enjoy their gifts :) Well done to everyone who has taken part xx
 
Here is Mike opening his secret santa photos - OMG he was the MOST interested in them than any pig so far, he's such a cutie and so brave - love Mike.

Each time I opened something he was over for a sniff and nibble!

For me the best thing is the card - these piggy cards rock! Where did you guys find all these lovely piggy cards?

I got all of my piggie cards from Thistle Cavies this year ( along with a load of piggie mugs! ) but you can also get them from Amazon and a few other places, don't know where everyone else got theirs.

Katie And Penny Receive Their Gifts!

Yesterday, we received a box of pressies for Katie and Penny. These lovely ladies came to us as part of a deprivation order and were in a terrible state. They were living in such horrendous conditions that they had severe urine burns on their feet and bellies, they had no hair left underneath and were terrified. Luckily these youngsters are on the mend and learning that people can be kind. They were thrilled to get so many lovely presents!

Oh wow, look at all our presents!

The girls loved opening their presents and especially the special hay! I couldn't get penny out of the bag so she was carried back to her home inside it! :)) Thank you so much secret santa for your thoughtfulness. Our little songbird Katie even sang a little last night she was so happy! xx>>>
 
Aw, these girls deserve all their pressies after their horrible plight (as all rescue piggies do) 8...
How wonderful to see people sending gifts for the piggies and also thinking of items you need for the rescue :))
 
Pickle Receives A Big Box Of Goodies!

One of our long term residents, Pickle, received his secret santa presents yesterday too. We were a little overwhelmed by the size of the box and Pickle just didn't know where to start. Pickle is quite ill at the moment, he suffers from abscesses anyway but recently he developed a massive lump which has been diagnosed as cancerous. Sadly, it is unable to be removed because it is right on his bottom and it is far too risky, we are now monitoring the tumour. Pickle is a happy piggy and so sweet natured, he just loves people and cuddles! Pickle came to us last year as part of a large rescue and was going to be pts by the breeder because ' nobody wants pink eyed ginger piggies'! He is a firm favourite here and has proved just how gorgeous he is.

Where do I start with all these presents?

Thank you so much secret santa, Pickle had a lovely time with his presents. We are overwhelmed by your generosity and kindness. The piggies are going to benefit so much from your thoughtfull gifts. Thank you. xx>>> Big thanks also for my lovely, yummy chocolates, they were just what I needed!
 
Pickles is stunning! I have a soft spot for pink eyed gingers, having met an adorable one in the past. So sorry about his tumour - hope he remains comfortable for a good time yet x
 
Wow Pickle did really well for presents! I'm slightly concerned though, as piggies shouldn't eat chocolate - I suspect someone may have to help him with those? :))
 
Aw, what a super lucky boy Pickle is, his SS is an Angel for sending all of those lovely things for him (and your choccies)
Happy Christmas Pickle, you are gorgeous x)

Pickle is very special, when he came to us he had a hole in his back the size of a golf ball where he had been attacked by we dont know what, but the breeder who gave them up told us he had had a 'little argument with another boar! It took a long time to heal but he is doing so well now. Such a sweetheart. :)
