There are so many wonderful things to say about our gorgeous boy Bobby. He truly was a stunning piggy! I used to call him my ‘little unicorn’ because he was so magical looking, with his huge Disney eyes and the piece of hair that stuck up on the top of his head! Bobby and his brother Rufus came to live with us after a woman in Oxford contacted me to say she could no longer keep them. As they were both such stunning boars, she was worried that once passed on to a new home, they would end up... Read more ..read more

This evening, I had the shock of finding my beautiful skinny Gus had suddenly passed away. He was such an amazing, cheeky piggy who I absolutely adored, with somehow the loudest wheek. He was such an affectionate little man who I’ll miss terribly. I ended up adopting Gus and I can only hope that these last ten months have been filled with the best life I could do for you. We liked to make you little hats and you always went along with it, although my coworkers teased you for looking like a... Read more ..read more

Hi all, I posted in August about the passing of my dear boy, Wesley. We have since adopted two more boys, who are fantastic companions for Wesley's cage friend, Neville. I just find myself even now beyond grief when I think about him. I know it was his time and he lived a lovely life, but I can't help feel so sad about him hiding his illness and not being able to relieve his pain. I wasn't even there when he passed as the vet was assessing him at that stage. Does it ever get easier? I... Read more ..read more

We were absolutely devastated to have to say goodbye to our lovely Henning on October 18th. He was such a loveable, gentle character who was always first in line for food and treats. When he began to show less interest in eating we knew something was wrong. Despite visits to the vets along with round the clock attempts to nurse him back to health he became too weak and the vet thought something nasty was lurking inside. At the age of nearly three years old we had to help him over the Rainbow... Read more ..read more
