Piggy Snap; Even More Crested Piggies

Its an invasion LOL



Mystery Agents Addytude and Tiny

Addytude's favorite food is any food that her cage mate Amanda has first! LOL her favorite toy in the double hut in their cage as she likes to drive it around the cage. she weighs in at 1064 grams. She is a sweet heart and has a tude!! so her nick name we call her is Addytude!!

Tny's favorite food is carrot. His favorite passtime is taking the hay out of his bin and making a lovely bed out of it. He was the smallest pig when he first arrived here. I gave him the nick name "Tiny". He now weighs in at a hefty 1500 grams!! He is a very very gentle pig.

Addytude and Tiny are part of a mixed herd living in Illinois, Addytude's real name starts with an A and the first part sounds very similar to Addy the name is English in origin and means noble.

Tiny's real name is the same as the first part of a type of quilt made from little squares, you may remember I mixed him up with another agent a while ago ooooops.

> Greetings my fellow secret Agents, Agent Lettuce here reporting on my crib. This is a smaller version of the pod I used to live in with my sister (R.I.P Agent Thumper). The most notable features are my beloved hut which I like to disguise with hay and my food bowls, 1 for dry food and 1 for wet food. Aunty Loosy puts lots of things in my pod, don't know why she bothers as I just ignore them. I get floortime every day and scamper about the bedroom, there are lots of things to explore and I like to gallop around as it annoys my Daddy.
> My pod is in Aunty Loosy's room, we have always lived in her room because we went to live with her when she was a student and our Uncle Ned was very nice but did tend to come home late at weekends and pick wah up. Boys are often silly, methinks.
> I also have a duvet (goose down from somewhere called Peter Jones) to cover my pod and keep me extra snug in winter!

Agent Porkchop here, as you can see I am a stunning crested Guinea Pig, so I thought I would include my lovely self in the crested piggy snap!

Piggy snap: More Crested pigs

Hi,
The black and white pig is Zoe.  She was adopted from the Medfield Animal
Shelter in Medfield, MA.
Tucked inside her was June to be born to much excitement at our house.
They are both crested piggies.

call for piggie pigtures!

I've been waiting to contribute and when I saw the call for pictures,
I knew it was the right time :) I've attached some pigtures of my
boys, here is some info:

Names: Kip (white one with brown on his face & crested hair) and
Baxter (tricolor)
Age: About 1.5 years
Favorite pastimes: Besides eating hay, Baxter likes to hang out in
his igloo and Kip is very curious, so he likes to keep a watch out for
anything exciting going on!
Favorite snacks: We try to limit the sweets (they love oranges &
apples!), so besides that the boys scarf up red & green bell pepper,
kiwi, and their greens.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know!

Piggie snap: call for more pigtures!

Hi all,

As you probably know we have done some piggy snaps before, and would love to share more piggie colours and types with you.
So far we have done:
Black and white boys
Black and white girls
Tort and white tricolour piggies
Lemon agouti piggies
Silver agouti piggies and
Blond and white piggies...

We are looking for more colours,for example:
red-brownish and white (for the people who remember Lotje, that rusty red colour!)
tricolours (white, brown and black or white, ginger and chocolate, or any other mix of 3 colours)
Maybe even piggies that have four colours?
Also piggies in one (smooth) gorgeous colour known as self colours, like black, white, brown, buff, cream, chocolate and so on...

We'd also like different hair types, for example:
sheltie, coronet, rexes, US teddies, Texels, alpaca, abbysinian
and any other special types of hair... Maybe satin, or no hair skinny or baldwin?

Maybe other types of guinea pigs would be nice too, like baby piggies, or LAPS or SCAMPS piggies?


So if you would like to add to the piggy snap game send an email with your pigtures, name and some info, like weight, favorite food, pasttime, toy... any thing you want to share. (details under the heading contribute on home page)


We hope to be able to show you lots more beautiful piggy colours that match (snap) with you and your friends.

Memorial: Interviewing Caplin Rous (part two)

Most of you have heard by now that our Special friend Caplin Rous, a famous Capybara, died unexpectedly...
Caplin's owner has written a memorial for him on his blog

His owner Melanie still sells Capycoppys (stuffed capabaras) and Caplin calendars. With that she hopes to pay for the medical expenses she had for Caplin. So If you want one of these capycoppys or a calendar, get one here.
When all medical expenses are covered she intends to set up a charity fund, all profit made will go to this charity fund.

We didn't want to deprive you of the below questions and answers as part of our twitter interview with Caplin.
We have asked Caplin some more questions, which we haven't shared with you yet:

' I've seen Caplin Rous' blog and pigtures and he is adorable!
Wish I could have a cappy of my own.? :-(? But I think the condo association would not allow it.
So, Caplin, Shakira has only one question (of course - eye roll).? What is your favorite FOOD???

PS - How nice to have the GPDD back!

Wheeks,

Rayna and Shakira
Taffy, Sundae, Tosca and Carmen in our hearts'
We @guinygirlz asked Caplin on behalf of Shakira what his favorite food was.

@Guinygirlz My favorite food is grass. After that it's either yogurt or popsicles, depending on my mood.



- Hello pineapple (HP) is the guinea pig who lived with Caplin. -


@caplinrous We were wondering, do you and HP get along well? What are the pro and cons of living with a guinea pig?


 
@Guinygirlz Guinea pigs and capybaras speak the same language, that is nice. We "get" each other. But gpigs don't swim.

@Guinygirlz I don't get to spend time alone with Hello Pineapple because I might accidentally step on her. That's sad.

@Guinygirlz I'm a little jealous of gpigs because of how cute and soft they are and people can pick them up.
