My Sisters’ Pages: Hammy, Feebee, Buttercup

Bitsy was adopted from the Willamette Humane Society October 2009. Bitsy was a “confiscated” piggy taken from some less than nice breeders. She is VERY social and loves her sisters and her big clean cage!

With a really loud wHeEk that can be heard all around the house when she wants snack time, Bitsy always gets what she wants. She also likes sleeping in corners with her face smooshed against stuff.

Bitsy was diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer) on March 9, 2012. Bitsy’s story is archived on the guinea pig blog.
