So firstly, we would like to say that we all had a lovely day at The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue - Animal Rescue Christmas Fair. It was lovely to finally meet lots of Forum members in person!

Koda would especially like to thank his auntie Becci (@alpacasqueak ) for his toy! He’s now relaxing at home cuddling it!

Koda had a lovely day and loved meeting everyone! He definitely felt like a Forum celebrity 😂🥰🐾


The boys would also love to thank auntie Becci (@alpacasqueak ) and the very lovely Tricia (@Qualcast&Flymo ) for their gifts! They are happily munching away! 🥰🥰

And now for the main man himself…. And a huge thank you to the wonderful @Wiebke for trusting us to rehome this beautiful boy. Merlin (previously - Boncath) has met Thor….
They were very intrigued by each other at first, and we had some chasing and gentle rumbling (mostly Merlin chasing Thor - Thor is such a softy and appeared to just tolerate him at that point 😂). But after 10 minutes they seem to be getting along just fine!

Such a cutie! 😍😍😍

I’ve been watching them on piggy-cam ( and probably will for most of the evening 😂). They are eating hay and sitting together (I’ve circled little Merlin on the pics as it’s night cam)

He’s also met his neighbours (Boris and Jacob)

Sitting together 🥰

When I enter the room, Merlin is still nervous and goes to his hiding spot (inside the tunnel)… but I did catch him peering round the corner at me, watching the others as they came to me for food. I doubt it will take him long to figure out who food lady is!


Thank you again, to everyone, for making today such a wonderful day! ❤️
It was lovely to meet @David Piggie Lover @Gem789 and @YvonneBlue and @Lorcan too

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone! We met lots of people today 🥰🥰

Aw so glad he likes his toy! :wub: It was so lovely to meet you and the beautiful boy himself, felt very special that I got some Koda kisses! :luv: Glad the piggies are enjoying their little nibbles too!:luv:

So glad that Merlin and Thor have hit it off with minimal fuss and that this is hopefully the beginning of a happy bromance.

I am sure that you are going to see Merlin's cheeky and cheerful side soon, especially with Thor's guidance. He will be eating out of your hand soon!

Looks like Merlin is already busy making himself at home with Thor and his neighbours. He's been with his dad since birth, so leaving his close-knit family has been a massive change in his life today. ❤️

His parents, brother and sister Barcud and Millyn, were not all that long safe in rescue after their ordeal of having to rough it in dog-walking waste land when Merlin/Boncath and Blodyn were born, so he has had a full measure of their still raised prey animal instincts as a baby; Millyn a lot more than Barcud. But I am hopeful that with three boys showing him the ropes he will learn to be a pampered pet soon!

Thank you for being willing to wait with Thor until Modron had her babies and for giving my little boy a very loving home. It looks like Thor has acquired a little bouncy furry shadow!

Thank you for trusting him with us @Wiebke ❤️

He’s such a lovely boy. And actually quite brave. He’s already not running when I enter the room. He’s not hiding away, but already venturing a little closer to see what all the fuss is about! I think Thor and his neighbours are helping his confidence.

He’s actually braver than our older pig (Jacob) that we rehomed a couple of months ago. It’s taken 2 months for Jacob to not hide when I enter the room, and to venture closer. Whereas Merlin has decided already that he’s not going to hide away! We can really see how inquisitive he is 🥰
 
So it turns out Merlin didn’t even need to wait for tomorrow morning’s choir practice to discover his lungs…. 😂
He thought he would join in with the others when I went in for bed time checks…. 🤣🥰

What a gorgeous little wheek he has… I will try capture it on video tomorrow!

He has been the official Wheeker for the Tribe since soon after his arrival here and has a very good pair of lungs and a nice strong voice indeed! :D

His two little brothers have already started hustings for the vacancy...
 
Lovely to see Merlin settling in so well with Thor and the neighbors.

It was great to meet you on Saturday. As we live quite close to one another we should try and meet up for a coffee.😃☕
Definitely! 😃 it would be lovely to meet up

It was lovely to meet you also 😊 We all had a wonderful time
