Gale and Forest are Molly’s sisters, the three little girls born to Krystal and Gem whose story appears earlier on in The Pig Issue.
The 3 girls were still suckling from mums at 4 wheeks old so I decided to separate them! The girls went to live with Heath, a youthful boy born here last October. This would also be good for Molly who was provisionally reserved to go and live with Mr Melt and Friends, pending guinea pig approval.

The move went ultra smoothly, not problem. The next step was to separate Molly from her sisters, to make the move smoother for Molly she got to stay with Heath and her sisters got to live with Twig- Heath’s brother. Expecting great trauma at this point I was extremely surprised at the reaction to the split, or perhaps I should say lack of reaction! No calling to each other or pining, nothing! Lots of noise, these are vocal girls after all, but only the usual ‘feed me’ wheeks etc.
When Eclipse arrived at RGPR I decided to put him with the Squeaky Girls, Gale and Forest. Twig went to live with Krystal and Gem who made their feelings clear regarding frisky young boars from the start
The change in behaviour towards Eclipse was quite something. Gale and Forest happily played with the younger Twig and Forest was often seen sitting on him, something she would do to Gem and Krystal. But Eclipse commanded respect from the moment they met. It was a silent command but very evident. The girls were almost like guilty schoolgirls who were half sure they had been found out. Things are mopre relaxed now and there have been some food fights but that air of respect is apparent.
Forest and Gale are funtime girls who would like a large cage for zooming please. Their new Human must be sensible and not be tempted to give in to them, they are very cute but also clever, their Human will be twice as clever and one step ahead of them!
Being slightly deaf would be a benefit too, their wheek is incredibly high and just happens at random times, optimistically…
