Just a little Parody appreciation post. 💛
I really thought I’d have to move Parody to a hospice foster home because of his difficulty getting along with other piggies. And then he got so sick—I honestly didn’t think he’d pull through. That’s when I moved him to the couch cage, and everything changed.
Haiku is truly a character.
Hero is growing like a weed! 🌱 But I do have some concerns about his teeth. I’ve been trimming them once a week—which is thankfully pretty easy—but the color of his top teeth often looks like a sign of scurvy.
For those of you who remember Little Miss Wheelbarrow—the hamster who was supposed to be “normal,” but came in with a very clearly not-normal leg 😅—we have an exciting update!
Hero is back to his popcorning self, and Parody is thriving—he no longer needs to be hand-fed. He’s eating, drinking, and his output is great. The only odd thing is that his stomach makes the wildest noises, which we suspect may be related to the mass in his abdomen.
We haven’t posted about him in a while, but it’s time for an update on everyone’s favorite grumpy (and now confused) old man—Harold.
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. 😉
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…
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!
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.
