Carnivalé Cavies

11/07/2025

It’s been a real baby boom here with 4 alpacas and 5 Peruvians having been born from 4 mums here over the past week! I have tried to stagger these litters over 6 months but instead everyone fell pregnant all at once 🤦‍♀️
We still have 2 more sows to go before I really sit down and decide who I’m keeping from all the babies. There are already some clear stand outs.

Some babies need time to unfurl and fill out from the womb and can take some time to be a cavy I decide to retain.

Other times, like the sow pictured here, you can immediately see the quality. Her equally impressive siblings are going to some very deserving people who have helped me out over the years. I can’t wait to see how this trio of siblings grow up 🥰

Anybody want to place their bets on who will pop first? 🫣

Carnivalé Kiss Me has been paired with Eramosa Cosmical. Kiss Me is Ellowyne Gracie’s Monacco last daughter so I’m very excited to see what she will produce. While not a spitting image, she has all of Mon’s features which I adore; big bold eye, droopy ears and a thick luscious coat.

Carnivalé Babylon has been paired with Carnivalé Cambridge (roan 😍). Babylon is from an equally sentimental line and brings a whole different set of qualities to the table; a cobby body, thick full chops and a sweet personality.

Anyway I’m very excited and am checking on them multiple times a day 🤣 I need to learn some patience lol.

Some piggies 👀🏡 details and genders on the photos

I also am contemplating retiring some adult sheba and peruvian sows.

You’ll perhaps notice some of these pigs don’t look pedigree 😉 At the start of the month, I took on around 20 cavies, that needed some TLC before finding their new family. These guys have bounced back and feeling so much better and less itchy than they were before.

Please PM me for further details and photos.

Unfortunately the attitude here is genetic.

This little girl has already been so loved before she was born. 🥰 A flashy, perfect sized 120g singleton who is already suckling and getting doted on by Auntie Kmart.
From Carnivalé Danny and Carnivalé Kawaii, this girl has some of my favourite pigs in her lineage.

She is my second show line sow to be born this year after a series of bad luck and only boars born. I am very excited to watch her grow ❤️

A little word about my not so little girl.

KaijuNi got her last points needed to be awarded breed champion at the May shows. 🥳

So her official title is now Ch. Carnivalé KaijuNi 😍 she is my third ever breed champion and granddaughter to Ch Carnivalé Kanji, my first ever breed champion. 🥰

She finished her show career on a high getting RIS at our State Championship under Andy Lawrie from NZ again!

This sow has taken me on such a journey and shown quite clearly how far I’ve come over the past 4 years in the cavy fancy! There is still a lot more to work on though and I’m excited to continue developing my beloved K line.

For now she has had a well deserved hair cut and loving life with Hedon Newton.

After a massive day of lifting, shifting, sweeping and cleaning, the caviary has gone through a much needed deep clean and rearrangement. Much more open and inviting now! 😍
This was taken at about 90% finished 🤣 I forgot to take final end photos as I was too busy watching KaijuNi popcorn through her new hides 🥰

First off I’d like to apologise for being very sporadic with responding to messages. It has been a very stressful and incredibly emotional week with my dear cat Puggle being very sick. If it’s hard to pinpoint him he’s the one with the glucose blood monitor 😅
These three pictured are my life outside of the cavies and it’s been a very sobering week for me and aging pets. We are not out of the woods yet and I’m trying not to give myself too much hope but Puggle is fighting to be here a bit longer so I’ve got to give him that chance. ❤️
Please keep him in your thoughts and I’ll be doing my best to get back to responding to messages ❤️
Stay tuned! There have been some very exciting updates with my cavies that I haven’t even had a chance to process yet!

It’s been a crazy month here with back to back uni assignments that has given me very little time with anything else. The gauntlet is almost over with an end and uni break in sight! 😍
Please enjoy Phyllis living her best life. This little lady is so sweet and loves her found family.
