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*

Knappe man he! Cc @gekkeflappies

As you can see, he has a very cute nose

 Jimmy the man!

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)


(Sjeuf) wat een bjoetie he! Cc @gekkeflappes

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!


Have a nice Wheekend!

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.

Friday Video: the Desert Rain Frog

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.

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

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.

New Agent: Mister Pig

Our gentlepig Sjeuf has finally chosen his agent name: Mister Pig. It was about time too, because he has been living with us since December 10, 2011 (so over 2 years!)

Agent Profile

Agent name: Mister Pig. We actually wanted to use 'Mr. Darcy' first, because both are kinda hard to approach (Sjeuf runs way..), yet a real gentleman once you get to know him. But after a play on words using the 'Sex in the City'-series as inspiration, we went for 'Mr Pig'.

Real name: Sjeuf. His name is a typical name (in dialect) for men from the south of the Netherlands. He got the name at his shelter and it stuck. We also like it when our friends from Amsterdam try to pronounce the name (more often than not; quite unsuccesfully, since the southern Dutch requires a more fluent pronounciation of the 'eu', like French (e.g. jeu))

Showing off his cute nose

Agent Facts: Born in September 2010, wheighs 1180 grams, Sheltie (or Silky), has lilac fur (which is posh for grey) and ruby eyes. 

Agent History: when we went to the shelter to find a new boar, we asked for the sweetest boar they had, and they introduced us to him. Sjeuf is always sweet, polite and nice to the ladies. He is also kinda shy, but he prefers to call that mysterious or he'll claim that he is in undercover guinea pig training. Whatever. Many of our human visitors think we're a herd of 2, not 3. In spite of his initial shyness, he loves cuddling with the human (and us too)

Mysterious.. ?

Relationship: Sjeuf is dating the lovely Pepper. They like going on extreme dates like sky diving and cross country racing

Super powers: Sjeuf is very good at stealth, and is also very fast. As long as the opponents are guinea pigs he can be quite charming too. He also is an extremely clean boar. He claims that doing Yoguinea exercizes help him to achieve this. He rarely wheeks, but when he does, he is very loud (and low)

Favorite food: hay, pellets and chicory. Not too big on other veggies actually..

Hobbies: building nests, cuddling and popcorning

Always happy to see the waitress
