BB – Black English Crested guinea pig who hasn't had a good start in life. We first acquired BB with another sow, which we named ‘Lily'. (Lily has now been put to sleep due to neurological issues).

BB also started life with a respiratory infection, not knowing if she would pull through or not we took her on as she was a beautiful little pig.

We got these guinea's from a National Pet Store in Warrington which have no regard for the welfare of their animals as we now know many of them (guinea's and rabbit's) are found in a local rescue centre with many health issues.

BB has visited our own vets and had outstanding care from them. Additionally, she has had a soft spot for Actimel a form of pro-biotic.

BB has made a full recovery and loves us calling over with the phrase ‘Come Pig' and she has now been introduced to two other sows called Sandy and Snowy. Snowy is definitely as loopy as BB. However, Sandy and BB regularly have a manic half hour chasing each other around the hutch Benny Hill style.
