This week I thought it would be good to showcase Zoe the Guinea Pig as I have not featured a Guinea Pig yet and Zoe is quite remarkable.
Zoe was born amazingly back in July 2007. Anyone who knows anything about piggies will know that the average life span is around 5-6 years. Zoe is a month away from her 7th birthday which is quite something. Zoe has recently suffered some ill health but this is down to her age.
Over the years Zoe has seen many changes including the move from Horsted to Gillingham. She has outlived her own daughter Sparkette who died a couple of years ago. Zoe had a tumour removed a few years ago and developed dry skin on her back which all students notice when they do health checks on her.

"Is this woman in every photo?!" |
Zoe is an albino which means she lacks any colour pigmentation causing white fur and pink eyes. Zoe currently lives with another female Guinea Pig called "Pimms" and they have been together since the Autumn of 2012. Zoe previously lived with her daughter Sparkette and two other females called Badger and Amber who all sadly died during 2012. Zoe is popular with the students and is very friendly and cuddly as you can see from the photo.
