If you're undecided whether to buy a piggy from a pet shop take a look at this information. Does show graphic and upsetting pictures.

Please consider rescue when getting a rabbit/chinchilla/guinea pig.

For rescue support and information contact Louise at    www.lbgpr.co.uk

Poor babies  :'( - I am 100% anti-breeding.

watched the youtube clip which is pretty awful but so glad that these piggies were taken in by a responsible person - presumably you?

 :RIP:  to the poor piggy with the infected foot

I lost my Rodent two weeks ago and bought two rescue piggies home yesterday - unfortunately it has not been all plain sailing.

If you have the time Brambles I would appreciate it if you could look at this:

I left a message there.
I went to see a person who had like 100 piggies, running around, male and female. I was stupid enough to buy one, he was very pretty but died the second day.
I never ever bought as much as 1 dogbiscuit in that shop anymore.
My big pride is my sow Shinju, she comes from a shop, but is bred by the shopowner herself, she only has a few piggies every once in a while.
Piggies are so wonderful, so very happy!!
