Meet the Piggies: Abby-Roo

Name: Abby-Roo because she looks like an "Abyruvian", a mix between an Abyssinian and a Peruvian. The addition of "-Roo" to her name can also be attributed to her fluffy rooster tail.

Age: estimated 6-9 months old

Weight: 729 grams/ 1 lb, 9.7 oz

Description: white Abyssinian with a tufted rooster tail/shark fin

Favorite foods: grass, tomato, romaine lettuce, corn husks, cucumber 

Favorite activities: gobbling down grass, playing tug-of-war with food from Revy's mouth, doing zoomies around the cage, leaving piggy beans in neat piles located in difficult-to-reach corners 

Story: Abby-Roo was rescued by Cavy House from a local shelter while pregnant and gave birth to two adorable boars soon after. Our slaves happily adopted her after it became apparent that she and Revy would get along as cagemates. Abby-Roo enjoys being petted and purrs every time her rooster tail is tickled. She is currently not particularly fond of trying new foods and prefers to stick to familiar edibles (of course, this may change as she becomes more accustomed to her new home). 

Abby-Roo's little white shark fin can often be seen zipping around the cage whenever she decides to sprint laps. She tells us she is considering dressing up as a shark for Halloween, just to keep Revy on her toes.
