Sweet boy Neo is definitely missing Maia 💔 She was part of his mini herd and bonded instantly, it started as a trio of him, Maia and Opal as he was struggling as the boar of the main herd to keep everyone in check so once Storm was neutered and recovered he took over that role and I put together the mini herd with my two smallest sows as Neo is only tiny himself. Then Belle my largest sow showed she wasn't the biggest fan of being in the big herd being a bit of a sensitive soul so was introduced to the mini herd and they have been a perfect quad until losing Maia. Guinea pigs definitely feel the loss as much as we do, especially when they have such a special bond, despite still having Opal and Belle for company we're keeping a close eye on him to be sure he's okay ❤️

The most heart shattering way to end Christmas 💔 doing my nightly checks before bed I found Maia had sadly passed, she looked so peaceful like she was just sleeping 😭 She was my sweet, loving, wobbly little girl, always so happy for head scratches and cuddles despite not being 100% sure which way was up and always the loudest wheek in the room, she will be so very missed ❤️

Had a bit of a sad end to Christmas but the piggies all thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas forage and treats from all their secret Santa's, hope everyone and their piggies had a lovely Christmas 🥰 Neo didn't want to be in the picture but Opal is always happy to be front and center while Belle just loves food 😂

Couldn't post new photos of Maeve without also getting some of her brother ❤️ Casper may not be as cuddly as his sister but he's definitely as good at posing as she is 😂😍

Sweet Otto (Was Sebastian/Sebby) turned 1 yesterday!!! Him and his 2 brothers were such sweet babies, even with mum not wanting to give them any attention for the first 24 hours and letting her sister deal with all 8 babies, 5 being her own ❤️

It was my boys 1st birthday yesterday 🖤
Such a gentle , cuddly boy 🥹
