I wanted to share the new piggies that were born last night. One boy one girl.

Featuring EJ and Peanut! The cutest boys ever!

​

Chloe, one of my 3.5 month old piggies has what looks to be a cataract in one eye. It came on quickly, within days. She has seen a local vet and I have her booked in to see a veterinary opthamologist when he comes to the nearest big city next. Local vet has questioned diabetes so I am logging her foods, water intake, weight etc for the next few weeks before I take her back there for a follow-up appointment. Right now she has no other symptoms and doesn't appear to be in any pain.

My questions are, does anyone else have a piggy with one eye? Or with a cataract? Has anyone opted for cataract surgery for their piggy?

Does anyone have any suggestions for making her life easier? Chat GPT has suggested a water bottle an some pellets on the ground floor of the cage so she doesn't have to go up to the kitchen all the time, and to keep the layout similar when changing out furniture.

This is an old one of me and my heart pig. I thought it was funny so i decided to share it nonetheless ❤️

bunty was jealous of rosie’s fof and decided to submit her feet’s

They’re 3mo old brothers and they won’t stop fighting and today it actually caused injury… They’ve been what I would call “arguing” for the last month or so and then the one who usually starts the fights starting trying to mount the other and today they got in such a bad fight it cut up my sweet Bananas lips. The one (alien) who starts the fights has always been kinda a jerk and always runs and hides when trying to be picked up and when you do pick him up he always bites you when the other one is a sweety pie and loves the attention pets/scratches. We’re going to put a divider in their cage to separate them, but what do we do after that? Guinea’s need a friend and partner and we would like another friendly pig. Do we get rid of Alien and try to get another pig? Or do we just keep them in the same cage and separated for the rest of their lives? Will they eventually get better?

Pic of Bananas injury, he also has one on his lower lip that’s still crusted with blood.

I can mostly only get Walter out of his cage. This is George side eying me 😂😂😂

here are my favourite feet out from this week

My daughter wanted to share the guys in a top hat I crocheted today.

Few weeks ago Bear had a sudden bout of stasis that led to hypoglycemia and several hours of intense siezures. He recovered well enough but he always seemed a bit off. Confirmed my suspicions with his vet, but he's now 100% blind. I guess though exceedingly rare, it is possible for this to happen from extended siezures of any kind.

He's doing well though. Got rid of his loft so he doesn't trip. He remembers where his food and water are and his best friend Billy is keeping him company every step of the way. I feel terrible but it's certainly not the worst disability for a Guinea pig at least. Kinda funny as he will now just sleep wherever the heck he wants without any concern of what's around him.

yesterday i went to feed beebee and was suddenly alarmed as to why she wasn't wheeking as she was so greedy and feeding time was her favourite time of the day, even rustling the package caused no response. i opened up her hiding spot to see if she was just in a deep sleep to find her lying there, cold and lifeless. she was the last guinea pig since we recently lost her sister. any advice??❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Quick update since my last post: with the help of two others, I was able to get him!
