Meet Tijger

Well, you all know our Woopy died a few weeks ago. Slaves Mikey and E thought they would take their time finding a new piggy. They would like a Rex again, as Woopy was one. We only had one fuzzy piggie left, Roos and she is a US Teddy, not a rex, not that that looks very different...
As they wanted a rex and Mikey really wants to get a piggie from a shelter (as there are so many there already) they thought getting a new (rex) piggie would take some time...

However a collegue of Mikey had 4 babies from her two presumed boars and was looking for a good home for them. So we ended up with this little loud and fast thing: Tijger. Tijger by the way is just the dutch word for Tiger. She came with that name and it seems to suit her. She joined us on what would have been Woopy's 7th birthday: 16 April 2015.

This is Tijger, she is a mix of a peruvian dad and a US teddy mom. So we assume she will not get any teddy hair, but she has some longer tufts of hair after her dad. She was born in the night from 6-7 March this year.

She found out she can sit on the house
 and ...
...eat her veg in peace,
As the others won't go there

Play with the toilet roll balls...

Eat hay..

Start a new trend by being
the first piggy not scared
to sit in the new basket!

 
Here she meets Roos...

Peaches (and yay for green spaghetti!)

...and BĂ©rke

She found a safe spot behind the water bottle,
Others don't fit there...

...and Roos is nice to cuddle with!

  1. Welcome baby Tijger.

    It's been a while since we had any babes at Piggyfriends and it is easy to forget how tiny they are!

    She seems to fit right in with the herd and is so brave to try out the new basket.

    If you can catch her, please give her a hug from us all.

    What a little sweetie pie! Tijger is a good name for her --- she does have the colouring alright.
    My Horatio was about the same age when he arrived (from a litter born at the Humane Society shelter), and he was also an amazingly speedy and assertive little guy with many loud opinions to share about the world...
