This page contains periodic updates about Pearl from Megan, Pearl's new caretaker, and Angel, her rescuer
and former caretaker.
12-19-06 Angel: I hear that she is doing wonderful, she is over 500 grams now. She doesn’t
like to get her teeth trimmed at all. She has a new buddy named Honey and she meets with four other female guinea pigs during
play time at least every day. Pearl has her new Mummie controlled now. Every time she makes the Critical Care mix, she starts
shrieking for it like crazy and starts running around until she gets it.
1-28-07 Megan: “Pearlie's privileged piggy slave”: She is doing well
and now weighs 582g. She sometimes will snuggle with a member of my herd, but has yet to form any truly close friendships.
She must miss her former cage mate. We trim her incisors every two weeks or so, and thankfully she is still healthy. She currently
prefers normal piggy food to her mush... so I take that as a good sign.
1-29-07 Angel: She is now 589 grams. She does not ask for Critical Care much. She would rather eat
like the others. But Megan still gives her Critical Care to keep her weight steady. Megan and her hubby calls her Lil’
Monster Pearlie. I am still waiting on pictures of her.
2-17-07 [Megan's photos]: New photos of Pearl: "round and fluffy"!
5-12-07 Angel: Pearl is doing good and she is somewhere over 600 grams now and getting
big. She now lives with Alfie and Diamond so she has 2 buddies now.
6-22-07 Angel: Pearl turned 1 on June 17th and she is gaining weight. ... She was
battling an URI for awhile and I am not sure if she overcame the URI yet.
