This month's pig of the month is..... Gwen! Below is a little bit of information about her, so read on to find out all about our Pig of the Month for February!!*Gwen is about two years old, and is a similar age to Holly, last month's Pig of the Month.
*Like all of our other guinea pigs, we rehomed Gwen from the RSPCA.
*Gwen is the proud mum of Tiggy, Sooty and Mousey Brown. Her babies were born on the fifth of January, 2009. We didn't realise Gwen was going to have babies until they were actually born, because the RSPCA home we got her from were unaware of it themselves! Before they had rescued her from her previous owner,she had given birth to two or three litters already, and the people she lived with didn't take her baby boys away from her when they were three weeks old.
Because she had had so many babies, Gwen was very underweight when we got her, and as her babies got bigger inside her, we thought it was her getting fatter because she was eating well! The day before the babies were born, I was cuddling her, and I could feel four little lumps inside her - her babies! No-one else belived that she was pregnant, so it came as a shock the next morning when I went to feed them, and there were four extra bundles of fluff! Sadly, on of her babies, Ruby, died when she was just three months old.
