Needs a snorkel lol. 🤿

Veggie time. 🥰 Lots of magenta coloured 💩 from eating their beets. 😂😂

Thanks Rookery Cavy Stud for these fantastic cage banks. 💜 First one has been setup in the house for the pregnant and senior cavies. 💕
The second one will be housed in the main caviary. 🫶

Excited for this breeding trio. They are getting along really nicely and both sows are currently on heat. 🤞🏼

Saffron Princess Diana getting the princess treatment after her bath today. Even managed to find her some fresh grass again! She was very passionate about mowing that down. You could smell the fumes of chewed up grass in the air lol.
Here are some photos of her growing up. She’s 5.5 months old now. 💜

She’s just turned 5 months old. 💜

Happy half birthday to Reef! 🪸
Courteous boy held in his mega wee for some quick pictures. 🩵

Thought I’d show some of Prince’s unique kiddos born over the last 2 years. He is yet to clone himself but has produced some amazing markings nonetheless! I don’t normally use the same sire multiple times but Prince is my go to guy. His temperament is so so impressive. And I love his coat of course. 🥰

Goldens look so nice in the sun, although she was squinting. 😝📸

Most of my Shelties I’ve coated out from 2019 to present. Have written their stories under each photo. 😊

Thanks to the judges for their feedback,
time and comments. Was nice to show my team, all be it small. Loved showing my longhairs, can’t wait to have more of them to show soon with a handful of pregnancies being confirmed back home.
Grateful to those who have purchased my shorthaired stock from me, I really care about those lines I continued work on but needed to make room for my love affair with longhairs to continue to thrive. Glad they all went to homes that have a passion to go all the way with their breeds which they deserve.

Thank you to all who organised the running of the shows and Sam for the great cooking!
Was cool to be able to sponsor the BIS & RIS awards from today.
Thank you Saskia for taking care of the piggies back home and making sure everyone gets their food, especially those pregnant mums. 💜 I hope to arrive back to everyone in one piece lol. 😜

Always eating. 😉

Happy 3rd birthday to our little celebrity. ☺️

Bath day for the big babies. ❤️

Falcon’s parents ready to hopefully have a repeat 🔁 litter and make more little ‘birds of prey’. 🥰

Reef. 💚 4.5 months old

Falcon gets a new girl! 🧡

The wrapper pile. 😂 They were well behaved today. Especially little Diana the alpaca for her first show.
Both got BOB. 💚
Our menagerie of animals at home were quite shaken up from having me gone for the day. Got thoroughly pillaged by Maisie. 😆
The cavies and goats were very grateful for their night feed too.

Well someone has been drinking their mother’s milk. 🥛

💕Saffron Sophia 💕
4 weeks old

I think it’s safe to say Taya has gained her condition back after nursing. She’s actually not quite as huge as she looks in this photo though. 😂

Princess Diana at 3 months old. 🩷

Hope everyone had a lovely Mother’s Day with their families. On such occasions I always think of my cavy mums and of course my amazing mum Anya Mulligan 💜

Daxton 🧡🩷 { Elias x Arizona } He only wanted to sit nicely on my knee so here we are. 😂

4 months old. 🥳 Not keen for photos, would rather p*e. 😄
