Hi friends!
I have a lot of young adult Peruvian and Lunkarya piggies available. I recently helped a breeder downsize his caviary as he is in the midst of a big move.
Most of these long hairs are show quality and under 18mo. Colors include tri color, chocolates, silvers, and more. PM me with your interests and I will share what I have.

Which end is which? This guy is helping to grow our silver line. Cannot wait to share these babies. Once I get some I can bear to part with!!

The. Most. Handsome. Man.
This boar will be ready in a few weeks for his next adventure. Both parents tri colored with a star. Would produce stunning offspring or scoop him up just to spoil and love because he has a LOT to give.

Two exceptional Christmas boars ready for their new 🏠 Would make an amazing addition to a breeding program or loving companions.

Not sure how this sweet boy is still looking for a 🏡 but he is!
Born 10/22/23 and can be picked up near Frederick, MD up until Christmas so you can have him under the tree for a gift some lucky kid will never forget.

*Please do not get a pet as a gift unless you plan to provide the care and attention they deserve for their entire life (average 6 years). Unfortunate situations sometimes occur, but it’s never a good idea to get an animal if you feel you may not be able to provide proper care or socialization for the duration of their life.

Here’s our last little boy ready to go home! Just over 6 weeks old and already bonding with the kids. I cannot keep this guy but the longer he’s here the harder it’s going to be to see him go. It’s why I limit my cage space or I would have a Guinea pig room instead of a Guinea pig area 😆
PM for more info!

🎄Last boy available🎄
Girls found their 🏡

We have 1 female and 1 boy left and these will be our last piggies ready to go before Christmas.
Girl with black on hind and boy with roan coloring are ready to go. Both have been well socialized by my kids and myself and are ready for their furever friend.

Sow is out of two tri colors and both parents have a star marking just like her. She will be a big girl and an excellent addition to any Peruvian breeding program.

Our last boy found a 🏡 but these ladies have found themselves available once again!

Both have a STAR

Last little boy! Ready to go home this week and spread joy while everyone is home for the holiday season 🎄

11/05/2023

We had 2 Peruvian litters born in the last few weeks and have 4 still available- 2 males and 2 females. Those two ladies with the star…😍😍😍
They will be ready to head 🏡 in 2-3 weeks.

Our last baby found a great home! These guys are all going to be so spoiled.

This lovely lady also got the honor of moving on from breeding. She was one of my favorite adults and I was sad to see her go.

While all of our piggies get tons of snuggles and treats and breaks between litters before being bred I’ve still made it my mission to make sure they get to enjoy the majority of their life knowing what it’s like to just be a pet.
Being a mom is hard! Being pregnant is hard! My kids are 16 months apart so I have a little extra sympathy for any animal raising littles.
This girl got an amazing home with another female piggy to bond with. I miss her cuddles but was overjoyed to see her off to her best life💕

09/09/2023

Last man standing! Both parents are tri color with a star. Kids also have him exceptionally snuggley 🥰

One silkie and one Peruvian left! Both boars.

So proud to be able to offer this exceptional litter, although we’ll hate to see them go! Both parents are tri colored with a star.

As most of you know, our piggies are raised in my kids’ playroom and are well socialized and accustomed to an active household.

Ready next week. 1 boar (first one with more brown on his face) and 3 sows.

Our prized piggy from our last litter! This little lady will join our breeding program later this year. She’s got it all- tri colored, a star on her eye, and is really showing her docile personality as you can see here with my 18mo, Tucker. Can’t wait to see what kind of mama she will be and what she will pass on to her babies. So excited for the boys to watch her grow and eventually be a mommy.

05/14/2023

I know many of you were anxiously awaiting our litter and I apologize for leaving you in suspense! We had a gorgeous litter of 4 born but I ended up dealing with my human babies instead of taking photos when they were brand new. Tucker has especially been enjoying these babies and is really helping to socialize them. This little girl is sold, as are her litter mates.
We are expecting another litter in a few weeks, so stay tuned!

We are unplugged for the weekend!
Soaking in this gorgeous West Virginia mountain air and resetting.
We have limited WiFi and I’m not able to respond to messages. I will reply when I am back at the farm Sunday night.
Happy Mother’s Day weekend friends!

Stay tuned for our next litter expected any day 😃

Snuggled this gorgeous lady while at my sister’s for Easter festivities. She is a full brother to one of our boars, Comet. Her name is Miss Piggy😁🥰

My sister has Holland Lops available near Reading, PA. One doe and 2 bucks born 2/7/23. Transport available.

Let’s talk about p*e! If you’re concerned about color and consistency of bodily excrement you might be a pet owner 🙋‍♀️. Or a mom… 🙋‍♀️

Anywho- I was recently talking with a client that has a Guinea pig with urinary issues. It got me thinking about how often the urine changes, which is normal and reflective of diet. I found this great article about what to look for in Guinea pig urine and how to adjust the diet if you notice certain things, or when your piggy should see a vet. So here is everything you never knew you needed to know about piggy p*e!

Obviously, every guinea pig owner wants to know what normal guinea pig urine looks like? This can help them detect health issues. But there isn't a fixed set

Did you know you should be trimming your Guinea pig’s nails monthly or more often if they tend to curl or have other unusual growth patterns? I like to use a pair of cat nail clippers that are small and easy to handle. This is a great article to learn exactly how to do a proper trim.

A lot of guinea pig parents often find the infamous nail trim session daunting! If that is your case, we’ve created a step-by-step guide on how to trim your guinea pigs nails so you can start conquering guinea pig spa day like a pro! For more piggy grooming tips, take a look at our blog about teet...

Animals amaze me. To a tiny piggy we are predators 100x their size, yet we’re able to earn this level of trust where they look to us for safety and the highlight of their day is this. This little girl is out of our boy, Comet, in our profile picture and another tri colored female. Little Ava hit the jackpot with her new family and I love that her mama shared this with me♥️

03/31/2023

Getting some seeds started this week and couldn’t leave the piggies out. There’s kale, broccoli, spinach, parsley, squash and cucumbers in there. Our gang gets spoiled with all of the organic produce on the farm. Our strawberries are also coming up and we’re hoping our fruit trees start producing this year. Stay tuned!

Shout out to Hippity Hop Express for transporting my two boys to my buyer in Kentucky this past week. This is my first time using a transport service and I was absolutely blown away by how organized Susan was. Everything was super simple from arranging the transport to drop off. Rates were very reasonable and the boys received the best care and luxury accommodations. Definitely my go-to for transportation from now on. Thank you Nick for the recommendation!

Sending this guy to North Carolina this week. Can’t wait to see what he looks like when he’s full grown! That hair 😍
