Phoenix & Multi :(
Sadly we lost two of our oldest Guinea Pigs and our first ever breeding girls. They both died within a relatively short apart from one another. It is very sad and we miss them dearly and they both had great characters but they will have a great legacy here at West Country Wheekies.
Births :)On to a more positive note we have had two new litters born!
The first was Peppa's second litter with Bentley, therefore they have half Lunky genetics. Peppa had two healthy piglets, one sow (Nimbus) and one boar (Sirrus) who we decided to keep to help with our attempts to breed Lunkaryas. They are both slightly long haired with Nimbus having quite a dense wirey coat, like a long haired teddy and Sirrus having a some what softer, shorter coat.

Nutella gave birth to her first litter, also fathered by Bentley. This litter consisted of three little sows, all very different. We have named them Honey, Marmalade and Peanut (who is tiny compared to the other two and always has been!) Peanut is quite a lot like a Lunkarya with a curly tummy and quite tight fur curls. The other two have lots of rosettes in their fur, and they are similarly placed to Lunkarya rosettes.

We also got our new Skinny Pig, Piglet, who is very funny and bossy! (See our new Skinny Pig page for more!)
We have been doing some more to the shed and the wire we had in before was scratching our arms something chronic when cleaning and feed. We have now replaced this with a better wire that is a lot more stable and safe!
Finally we have had our lunky boar in with two of our lunky ladies so hopefully (fingers crossed!) we will have one or two litters of Lunkarya piglets in 2015! We will keep you updated and keep an eye on our Lunkarya page for more.
Well I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a happy 2015!

Awww....I'm sorry you lost two of your lovely piggies. I'm sure they had a very happy life. The new babes are gorgeous!
