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 a safe spot behind the water bottle,
Others don't fit there...
...and Roos is nice to cuddle with!
Welcome baby Tijger.
ReplyDeleteIt'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 cutie looks like she has a way to go before she reaches agent weight wol
ReplyDeleteJup, she was only 260 grams when she came here... so long way to go still!
DeleteA big welcome to a rowdy brave little girl. We look forward to seeing many more pigtures of you little lady!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Looks like she is settling in quite happily. Looking forward to seeing more of little Tijger :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a little sweetie pie! Tijger is a good name for her --- she does have the colouring alright.
ReplyDeleteMy 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...
