The Critter Connection

Where Connecticut's abandoned guinea pigs find their second chance at a happy home and a healthy life. We give a voice to small & furries who don't have one.

Guinea pig at the 3:30 mark. But as is often the case with Will Ferrell, you have to watch from the beginning to understand what he’s up to. https://t.co/mX86GqGkS3

This is off the beaten path, but we understand fearful creatures who hide. There’s a time zone difference to be worked out, and the aquarium’s blog post is in Japanese & needs Google Translate. But this is certainly not something that folks do every day.

@Pumpkin_Bailey What a lovely and loving picture of the two of you. It says everything that anyone would need to know about your bond.

My heart still grieves with yours. 💔

@CentralPig Oh, she’s a beauty! 🤗 She looks exactly like a foster piggy I had years ago, a handsome and charismatic boy named Sparky.

@CentralPig Ours isn’t to question why. We are directed where we are needed most. This weekend, it was Auckland that needed support. Next time, it will be someone else somewhere else.

@pao_ton_8228114 Piggy looks blissed out. 🤩

@RSPCA_official I wish that we could eradicate the phrase “starter pet” from every language. Whoever came up with it was...(channeling my inner 10-year-old here)...a real bonehead.

@SunPiggy In the past, I’ve mixed Gerty’s guinea pig food into our regular food pellets to help plump a poorly pig.

Sunburst Gourmet Blend from Higgins will also work.

Once goal weight is achieved, resume feeding with only your regular food pellets or else piggy will get very portly.

Bear with me as I’ve NEVER done this. Maybe cause I’m still sensitive from loosing my dear TM recently this pulled at my heartstrings. Google them for details if you can donate. First time I’ve donated a decent amount outside my own community.
Please retweet to help also

@mcnulty_alyson @DailyGuineaLips Of course they do.

They know that they can get away with EVERYTHING because they’re too cute to not forgive. 😉 #guineapigs

This is all that is left of the LARGE carrot cottage that Minka and Mila got for Christmas...two small pieces.

@Pumpkin_Bailey And that throwback photo of the boys snuggled up together literally brought me down to my knees in tears.

I am heartbroken for you.

[The Critter Connection @CTGuineaPigs]

@Pumpkin_Bailey No!!! Nonononononononooooooo!!! I’m heartbroken for you. He and Bailey were extraordinary souls. There have been some dark times these last few years when the tweeting back and forth with the boys helped me to see light in unending darkness. I’m indescribably sorry for your loss.

@TuftyPiggie I have five girl piggies here who are swooning. 😍

@ThreePigmigos One would think that our little corner of the Twitterverse would be free from trolls and other assorted ne’er-do-wells.

On the other end of the small animal spectrum, a couple built a museum to entertain their pet gerbils. The little cherubs insisted on eating the furniture! https://t.co/D9vj5YmqXz
