Piggy Carriers

Our local animal rescue has started selling cardboard carriers for people to take home their adopted pets. Here is a photo of one. You can see a pigture of a piggy on the side so one would assume that piggies could be put inside.

Here is a pigture of me. Agent Big Red, sitting next to the carrier. How am I going to get inside?

Here's how! Whoops! Too small.

 Our Slave brought home a Vivid Arts model pig in a box the same size as this carrier.

Her box had better airholes in it too.

We don't think much of this box and think that the people who made it should not have put a piggy on the side. Here is a better use for that little box. A nice hidey for a model piggy.

We don't think cardboard boxes are very suitable for piggies. Agents Curly and Wizard were brought here in this one.

That size box is the right size for one of our mousefriends, although she could have gnawed her way through it on her way home from the rescue. Slave always takes a plastic carrier when she collects mice. This is our mousefriend Lady Grey.

This is one of our carriers. Slave has several for when we need to travel. Much safer for piggies. Thank you for reading this. Agent Big Red.

Agent Zeppelin reveals all

We've travelled to the south of the Netherlands for an exclusive photo shoot with Agent Zeppelin. We've told you that Jimmy is an extremely handsome boar. But we admit, it is kinda hard to see with all that hair..

So here he is *drumroll*



As you can see, he has a very cute nose

 

He also has a very cute cagemate; the lovely Pepper (who won't sit still, so that is why her staff is standing by in the back of the pigture)

Friday Video: Jumping for Parsley

As promised, a video with guinea pigs (and parsley!). Enjoy!

Friday Video: Perfect Balance

Today a video that is very different from what you've come to expect from us. We promise we'll put up a piggy video next week. But for the agents amoung you, this human and her balancing skills are a real inspiration. Make sure you watch it until the end!

Calendar piggy: May 2013

This months Calendar piggy is the lovely Clover. Here you can see her spring pigture that is in this month of the Undercover Guinea Pigs Calendar 2013. Clover tells her story below...

----

Hello everyone,
my name is Clover, aka. Agent Dahlia. My real name comes from the fact that I was born on St. Patrick's Day. My secret agent name comes from the fact that I like to pose for pigtures by flowers, as you can tell from my calendar pigture; especially dahlias. I am a 2 year old Sheltie and I live with my mom Flower, and my Abyssinian friends, a mother and daughter, Nutmeg and Cinnamon. You can see a pigture of my mom and I here.

I have a not-so-secret admirer next door, Barney, who always looks at me longingly. He tries to chew through the bars of his cage so we can be together, but it hasn't worked so far. I am very special pig to my human, because my dad died unexpectedly 2 weeks before I was born, and my brother died when he was only 1 year old. To my human's surprise, I look almost identical to my dad! My favorite things to eat are parsley and cucumber and I really enjoy grazing outside and running up the stairs. I turned 2 years old in March and had a party for my birthday with my favorite foods. Here is a pigture of me in my party hat.

Thanks for reading about me!

Sincerely,
Clover aka. Agent Dahlia

Food from the balcony

We are currently enjoying the balkony very much. We have gotten seeds from the Guiny girlz and our waitress has planted them in a pot.

Since she has sown too much of them, she picks a little every day and we get to eat it!

The waitress rinsing off the dirt

Yum! We loooove these!

The balcony where our waitress likes to bask in the sun like a big pink lizard when she is not busy bringing us food. She is also growing strawberries and a variety of herbs so we are looking forward to the summer.

For an animal without fur, this desert rain frog is pretty cute. Or to be more precise; sounds extremely cute

We meet a VIP

It was a very special day at Piggyfriends yesterday as we had a visit from a VIP piggy person. It was the famous Ann Evans from the GPDD. She spent Tuesday visiting our Rodentologists and on Wednesday she came to see us. We were very honoured to meet such a important guest. Ann was so very nice and picked us all up for a cuddle. She agreed to have her photo taken for the blog and I was chosen to be in the pigture as I am the biggest ( although most of me is my curly coat ) and would show up better than the smaller Piggyfriends.

Ann brought Slave a bottle of wine and some yummy chocolate from her trip to France and we were able to give her a bottle of Vet Sect Repel shampoo for her piggies back home in Piggyville, Florida. She can't buy this wonderful shampoo in the US.

Ann and her husband went out for breakfast and dinner with Slave and her family but, for some reason, piggies are not allowed in restaurants so we had to stay home. We had a lovely day and wish that she did not live so very far away.

Woopy turned 5 today!

Today, 16 April our girl Agent lil'Woop turned 5 years old!

In an attempt to actually film a sleeping Daisy (the one with grey and white head), Woopy shows us how agile she still is, putting her backleg up in the air.
Lily is munching hay and pellets on the right, Roos is mostly out of view...



Slave also did an earlier attempt to film the sleeping Daisy, but Roos barges in...



Happy birthday Agent Lil'Woop!
Even with her age, she is still the boss over the other girls Lily, Daisy and Roos.

Carrot beers or juice all around...

Calendar piggy: April 2013

This months calendar piggy is Agent Magician also known as Poof. She will be sharing her story with us. She frequently features on one of our favorite blogs: the CaliCaviCollective (see link below)

She has a lovely Bond girl pigture in the Calendar.

Agent Magician aka Poof, reporting in: 

A big wheeking hello to everyone and everypig! 

My story begins when as a baby cavy, I was abandoned in a cardboard box on the side of a freeway. A kindly human found me before it was too late and brought me to a local rescue. Although I was thankful to have food and a cage to stay in, I was very shy and nervous around people. I lived there for several months before my humans stopped by for a rescue event.

Poof at the Rescue

Slave was working her way down the row of cages, saying hello to and feeding all the other rescue pigs before she came to my cage - the very last one in the row. Even though she wasn't looking to adopt, she couldn't leave me there after holding me and hearing my story. I went with her to my forever home that very same day. 

After a mildly bumpy introduction process I settled down with Agents Acorn, Godiva, and Mango (Belka, Truffle, and Peaches). To my humans' amusement, I rule over my cagemates with an iron paw - no one is welcome to share MY pigloo when I am occupying it - but am very sweet towards my slaves during cuddle time. 

Poof with Peaches, Truffle and Belka

Things that make me a happy peeg include eating herbs, grazing grass, and napping on soft cozies. Things that make me an unhappy peeg include bubble baths, having my authority challenged by my new neighbor Abby-Roo, and visiting the vet. I am currently in a relationship with a handsome boar named Winks who lives in the UK. 

In addition to my regular job as full time pig, I moonlight as a piggy model/food critic on the Cali Cavy Collective guinea pig blog (along with the rest of my herd). Since my responsibilities consist of eating food, providing an opinion on said food, and looking cute, I can't complain!  

Best wishes and much food to all,

Agent Magician

Friday Video: Car wash

The pigs from the Happy Cavy blog wrote an excellent post on how to clean your guinea pigs ears. And they posted a video to go with it (with a soundtrack!!!). Go there. Check it out. Do not just watch the video here, the whole blogpost is awsome.

Have a nice Wheekend!

p.s. as an extra giggle for the wheekend; check out this pigture we found on the facebook page of Gorgeous Guineas

New Trend?

We found Agent Lily'explorer sleeping on top of a house...

Lily

...head on the hayrack. 

An hour later we saw some ears flapping from Agent Wheeker...

Daisy

...head on hayrack.

It's starting to become a new trend here at the Guinygirlz Crib!

Do you have nice spots to sleep on or in?

Happy Easter from the Peegies!

Happy Easter from Agents Butterloaf, Cannonball, and Yougie!

Happy Easter from the Piggyfriends

Hello everyone. On behalf of the Piggyfriends, Agent Minty would like to wish you a very Happy Easter.

 

The Easter bunny is not welcome at our house as his relatives are stealing our vegetables from Slave's garden but Algernon Rat popped in to share Slave's Easter Eggs and posed for this pigture with me.

 

I hope that your Slaves received lots of yummy eggs and that all of you piggies had extra veggies.

 

 

Happy Easter from the Misfits!

Happy Easter season to you all from the Misfits

Our two girls would love to be secret agents. They are big enough now.

Meet Agent Moonflower She was born on aug 1st 2012 her real name in English means Child of the moon or in Hebrew Promised of God it is also very similar to the name of a flower.

Meet Agent Sassoon she was born on july 1,2012 her agent name was chosen because she hopes to be a famous hairdresser one day as well. Her real name means Adams Son (but she is a girl, humans are weird) it is also the name given to several cities throughout the United States.

These agents are cage mates and live next to Rileys cage and Riley is soo in love with Agent Moonflower it is so cute to watch them two talk! as their cages are budded up next to each other

Both are good girls. Sassoon seems to be the bossy pig and Moonflower just goes with the flow of things. If you notice both are long hairs but Moonflower's hair is not long due to Sassoon loves to "trim" it!!!! Moonflower loves hay the best and Sassoon loves green peppers. We drove to Peoria, IL to get these girls. We thought we were just getting one but Andy couldnt leave Moonflower when he found out she needed a home too. So that is how this duo came to be Misfits.
