Hi my name is Liz, I'm 22 & I live on the Wirral which is just across the water from Liverpool; I'm originally from Leicester.
I have two sows called Daphne & Bauble (13 weeks), & a little boar called Rusty (7 weeks)...they live opposite each other at the moment but I want to make an indoor C&C cage so they can live right next to each other. I also have two lovely hammys called Bernie & Henry.
I currently work as a temporary receptionist in a hospital but I'm trying to find a position as a trainee veterinary nurse somewhere in Merseyside. I have an interview next week & will hear about another job very soon, so fingers crossed!! As well as loking after my own animals I also volunteer one day a week at my local RSPCA where I look after the rabbits & piggies...they always have such gorgeous piggies & luckily they always find homes really quickly.

Hi, I'm Chrissie from the Squeaky Pigs Forum. Also know as "The Oils Lady" as I make all the Gorgeous Guineas skincare products.
I am 40-something and live in Reading, Berkshire with my partner Sam and 11 Gorgeous Guineas. I've got a mixture of boars and sows right now, but prefer boars given a choice. Ages range from 2 - 6 and their names are Gucci (aka Gucci the gorgeous golden guinea weighing in at a whopping 3lbs 9oz!), Scruffy, Butternut, Sonar, Chatterbox, Florence, Marbles, Ice, Snowball, Mr Nosey & Mr Cool.
Favourite breed: Golden Agoutis Least favourite breed: Bog Brush Pigs (Rex's!!)
In my spare time I do all the Homechecks for the Reading / Oxon RSPCA before guineas are adopted, and we've rehomed 30 piggies so far this year. I also do healthchecks / worming / teeth etc for the CCT in this area.
That's about it for now.
Chrissie

HI everyone,
I'm Alyson also from the squeaky pigs forum. I live in Manchester and work at the Univeristy. I have 3 pigs Pebbles, Anowy and Jack. Unfortunately when I moved to Manchester I had to leave them at my mum's in York due to house problems but I go back and see them regularly. Alyson ;D

Hi, I'm Alex (25) and I live in the South Manchester area with my boyfriend James. As from tomorrow we will have 5, rather than 3, piggies - Betty, Boris, Babs, Bertie and Beryl. I have a degree in journalism and am currently working as a freelance reporter for a paper over in Dewsbury (West Yorks). However, I am doing a post grad psychology course as I have decided to train to be a psychologist (don't worry I shan't be analysing you tee-hee!) Good to see a lot of the SP crowd on here and also nice to see some new names cropping up too! Alex x
