Introducing Dante Wigglebottom

Please welcome a new piggy to our small herd, Dante Wigglebottom! We chose him because Dmitri and Apollo do not get along together, and Apollo needed a piggy friend after Gruden von Squeakcheeks' passing.

We picked Dante because he had bites on his ears, so he was being picked on and we thought he could use a good home. He is a very shy piggy, but loves following Apollo around! He and Apollo are getting along very well. Dante tries to copy what big piggy Apollo is doing. Apollo will be standing on his hind legs watching Dmitri, and Dante will try the same thing.

Please welcome Dante Wigglebottom!

New Piggyfriends

All the Piggyfriend Agents thought that we should introduce some new piggies that have been rehomed here at Piggyfriends.

Louis and Henri came here last month. They are older piggies, thought to be around four and a half years old and were left at Palace Piggies Rescue in West Sussex by their owner, who could not take her pets to her new home.

Here they are in their new pen. Louis is at the front.

Here is another pigture of the brothers. Slave nearly always calls them Henry and Lewis but they don't care as long as the veggies arrive on time.  Louis is on the right. He has more white in his coat.
Louis was having trouble eating so our Slave took him back to Palace Piggies to see Lyn, who is a rodentologist so can do dental work without an anaesthetic. She clipped a little piece from his molars and now he is eating up really well and making up for lost time.

When Slave was there, she looked at the piggies for rehoming and brought home two more, Mimi and Lulu. They are little girls about 6 months old and are part Abyssinian part who knows what! They were taken to the rescue because they belonged to a girl who left home and her mother did not want to care for them.

This is Mimi.
And here she is again. She has a black and brown face.

We can tell them apart because, Lulu, in the next pigture has a black face. They are sisters.

They are not used to posing for photos yet and Lulu was more interested in climbing up the back of the sofa. They will soon learn as Slave is always after us with her camera.

Welcome home Henri, Louis, Mimi and Lulu. We love you all.

A Piggy A -Z. C is for Chicory

Do your piggies like chicory? Most of the Piggyfriends do but, for some reason, Roisin and Niamh refuse to eat it leaving more for the others.

Here is Agent Wizard aka Gandalf enjoying a leaf or two.





 " I don't think that I can eat a whole chicon," says Gandalf. " I'll share it with the other Piggyfriends."




" Thank you, Gandalf. " says Cosmo Dangermouse. " I am rather partial to a bit of chicory. "

Happy Easter everyone!

"What's all this about?" says Tyrion Piggyfriend. " C is for chocolate? I guess that these are all for our Slave as we don't eat chocolate. Why not C is for chicory instead?"

"No," says Slave. " Look round, sweetie, and read the sign."


" Oh! Happy Easter," reads Tyrion. " That's all right then. We may yet get chicory. Happy Easter to all of our readers from me and the Piggyfriends."

Friday video: Guinygirlz morning feeding ritual

Mom filmed us getting our morning piece of veggie today...



We were pretty well behaved, sometimes we fall over each other, and lean on the others back to be higher up and run against the window to get to the veggies first. Tijger will start doing spins when she gets impatient.. but today we behaved for the video.

How does your morning ritual look? We would love to see little videos of it.

Have great Wheekend,
the Guinygirlz and boar Berke
