Our new little piggie

We rescued a little guinea pig yesterday. A friend put up on her facebook "anybody wanting a guinea pig come and get it , going on holidays and we dont want it!" I already have their last piggie, clover when they didnt want him anymore so i said I would take the piggie.... so sick of people disposing of pets!
We went over straight away only to find the hutch had no lid on it... plenty of cats roaming around their neighbours yard. The piggie had wrapped itself up in a urine soaked towel. It had no water and the cage had wire on the bottom of it still so great for feet... NOT!
We put the piggie known as stupid in our car and took it home. They didnt ven know what sex it was.
Straight away we gave it a bath. It is long haired but hair was so badly matted that I had to cut off most of its hair from the bad mattered urine and poo tangles. The water was puetred! So after its haircut I gave it another bath and combed through the left over hair. We discovered "stupid" was a girl and renamed her heidi as she was hiding when we found her.
Should have taken a photo of her before but I just wanted to fix her so now she is par of our family. I dont know wha type she is just have to wait for the hair to grow back but her hair is so long. She has the same face with short hair as our coco augaouti then she has long white, yellow , black long hair. Dont know if she had any rosettes as she was so badly mattered so will have to wait see.
I will try to take photos today of her looking alot cleaner.

Well done on rescuing this poor little piggie. It will have a wonderful life now.

I hate people who think pets are disposible to!

I hate them from here, too. Heidi is one of my most faverite names, I'm glsd you found her and named her that

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is why i am with the ACS stuff like this happens all the time. The poor baby!!

Good job on getting her!!!

make sure to treat with revoloution ect and quaranteen she could be carrying anything!

Poor darling glad she is with you now... Emma the ACS was at the Ballarat Pet Expo yesterday and they had alot of people around their stall which is great. So pleased this little one is now clean, loved and safe.

yes I have her separate from the others but she has never felt ground before only wire so she limps a bit on the ground. i dont think she has seen another piggie before either as we got clover from them about 2 years ago then they missed him so they got another piggie which was this little girl. Fancy not knowing what sex she was too.... glad they never put anotherone in there because they were thinking she was a boy because clover was a boy so they thought all the ones with long hair were males.... some stupid people

ahhh LOU the lady there was Simone so glad she decided to have a stall she was so looking forward to it!..

I am sure she will get better with you know! why do people get pets do they think htye jsut look pretty in the yard??

why do petshops sell long haired piggies to people who dont know what they are doing???

Why do petstores sell PETS AT ALL is my question!!

Here here. I[m with you Emma.

Big movement here too. I can't go near that aisle, thankfully, I don't have to go in pet steres often. Well, I would love to but no time, plus, I don't want to see the puppies there, I can't afford any more and I want to rescue them all. But, that's not rescueing them anyway. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad.

No it is not rescuing just making sure there is more breeding animals ready to take the place of the ones before them. The puppy millers love pet shops supply and demand they go hand in hand. ASSHOLES!!

This is Heidi our new little girl. This is after her hair cut... she had yellow long hair at the back all mattered. She is so unusual and pretty.
Cant wait for her hair to grow back to try to work out what breed she is. Will have to rely on Emmas skills also to work out her breed!

Remember I cut large handfuls of hair off this girl so her coat is much thicker and longer than this

O I LOVE her colors, I wouldn't resist putting little ponytails and bows...

yes we should have called her rainbow she is so gorgeous cant wait for her yellow hair to grow again at the back

She is such a sweetie I just love their little faces... so special.

OMGOSH!!! she is soooooo cute!!

haha you have got what i think is a
Golden Agouti, buff and white sheltie pig..
may or may not be pure depending on how her coat comes back.. Not that that worries you..

She is a beautiful girl GAA i LOVE pigs!!

I thought she was a sheltie hercoat is so soft poor baby i dont think she has ever seen a brush

Well that has changed all for the better... she fell into the right hands now and I am sure will be very well looked after and loved. If not Emma will grab her and take her up to piggie paradise at her house.

She really looks a real cuite pie...

Some people just make you sick don't they ..put them in a tatty old cage soaked in urine with big monsters trying to get them and see how they would like it........errrmmm got a few I could try that with....

I have just picked up the bargin of the century from ebay. Its a kwilla 2 story hutch for $50. when i phoned the guy abou picking it up he said they used to keep 4 piggies in it. i thought to myself how cruel they must be ramped. well i got there and it is hude. it wasnearly the length of my trailer. I got it home as i was buying it for coco our augauti boy as his rainy day hutch is so small. we put him in it and he was so lost as it was just way to big for one piggie. our other bo has his own rainy hutch and grass hutch as they fight.
anyway i have swapped him with the girls rainy hutch on wheels as the new palace is so big. it has doors on the top and at the front it has two ramps to get up high with a resting ledge between levels. I have put the three girls in it and it still has so much room its fantastic.
I will take photos later it looks like nothing in the pics but wow looks great in real life. itsan adventure playground for piggies
cocois loving the girls old cage lol great smells!!!
Oh by the way the guys piggies died of old age at 5 years old so no sickness has been in it

Sounds like luxury....you will certainly have some contented piggies

The penthouse for piggies looking forward to seeing it sounds like you got a great bargain!!

I want to see the palace too!!
