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!!

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:

Poor babies  :'( - I am 100% anti-breeding.
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

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
