Certified Creeper​

Did you know that in addition to guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits (and pretty much everything else 😂), we also have a certified creeper living at Jen’s house? Don’t worry—he’s the cute kind. 😉

🐹✨ Triple Adoption Celebration! ✨🐹​

We are so excited to share not one, not two, but three wonderful adoptions today!

💔 Saying Goodbye to Preston 🌈​

We are absolutely heartbroken to share that we’ll be bringing Preston in for humane euthanasia this afternoon.

Around 3 AM, Preston suffered what appeared to be a neurological event. We were hoping it might be inner ear-related and started antibiotics right away, but sadly, there’s been no improvement. We can’t let him suffer, and this is the most compassionate option we have left.

🎓 Not-So-Baby Girls Graduate!​

Our “babies” aren’t babies anymore—Saga, Fantasy, Madrigal, Gothic, and Rhyme have officially graduated and joined the adult herd! These girls are now around 6–7 months old, and while we’ll always think of them as our little ones, they’re growing up beautifully.

Their move into the adult cage made space for a new special group…

🎉 Meds Sponsored + Next Goal: Haiku’s Bloodwork!​

Great news—Novel and Coralie’s medications have been fully sponsored! 💖 Thank you so much to everyone who helped make that happen!

🐹 Danni, Casanova & Cupid Check In! 💌​

Danni, Casanova, and Cupid are checking in from their wonderful foster home—and these handsome boys are doing great!

Casanova and Cupid met by chance and headed off to foster together. While Casanova was a bit of a drama starter at first (aren’t all the best leading men?), things have really smoothed out. There are still the occasional kerfuffles when everyone gets the zoomies and crashes into each other, but now that they’ve settled in, their personalities are really starting to shine.

🐾 Vet Day Recap + Chaos Incoming​

Currently sitting in my car, kind of dreading walking into my house. Between the disaster zone that is my living room and the stack of things I need to do—on top of handfeeding multiple piggies—I’m feeling more than a little twitchy. But anyway… here’s today’s vet report!

🦷 Sherlock Update + Urgent Help Needed!​

We really need to take some updated glamour shots of Sherlock, because this brave boy made it through dental surgery like a champ! 💪

As expected, his teeth were a complete mess—including a random spare tooth just hanging out where it didn’t belong. We’re likely looking at dental surgeries every 6 weeks to keep him healthy and comfortable.

💊 Pain Management Update + A Sweet Social Shift​

Both Parody and Novel had a really positive response to the addition of Buprenex to their pain management plans!

Last night, Novel was eating celery on his own, and this afternoon, Parody munched on some pellets and veggies without help. It’s clear the medication helped—but just as clear when it wears off. Since Buprenex is a controlled substance, vets have to be careful with how they prescribe it. We were given just one dose each to test their response.

Now that we know it helps, we should be able to get a bit more at a time—but I expect I’ll still need to make regular trips to the vet to pick it up. (Not a problem—I’m there at least once a week anyway!)

🩺 Medical Update + Urgent Funding Need​

Haiku​

Haiku’s urinalysis results just came back and showed:

• Very low specific gravity, and
• Crystals in her urine

This is a first for us—we’ve never had a piggy with crystals before—but in theory, it should be manageable. Everyone here is already on a fairly low-calcium diet, but we’ll be separating Haiku from the herd temporarily and adjusting her diet to an even more kidney-friendly plan.

Given how underweight she was at intake, we suspect this issue started long before she arrived at the rescue.
