Having her Cakey and eating it…
The lovely Chantilly who had such a tragic start to her little life has finally found love and friendship in Cakey who has also had a rough time of things lately. Chantilly was discovered by a German Shepherd Dog on some wasteland, running with a group of guinea pigs.
On arrival she was obviously pregnant and obviously still only a couple of months old. Guinea pigs are able to give birth at an early age and much of the time it goes without complication, however being present when Chantilly gave birth to Mr Big and two pups that were dead on arrival was not something that I found enjoyable. Chantilly had the most stressful time giving birth that I’ve seen.
She was a good Mum though and soon back to her old self, thank goodness no one’s told guinea pigs about post natal depression…
The time came for Cakey to choose his sowfriend and Chantilly and Miss Tickle went over to his holiday home to meet him. Both girls did well in the match making stakes and cakey would have been happy with either of them, though Chantilly did seem to have the edge- or maybe she was just more flirty…
Cakey’s little Human chose Chantilly to be Cakey’s next friend and first sowfriend. Both are now living in brand new accomodation after the honey moon period at the holiday home. We hear that this is a very well matched and playful couple. Chantilly’s new name is Lemony Chase.
