Guinea pig found abandoned in a field

[Catherine]

A woman out walking her dog found an abandoned guinea pig. When you look at the before and after picture, I would say that he was neglected and perhaps had been out there for a little while.
Abandoning is a terrible thing to do to a guinea pig. They are so not suited to life outside. All they really know how to do is eat. They do it very well, but that doesn't help them defend themselves or even find shelter.

He is one lucky guinea pig. Things ended well for him. It could easily have ended badly. It is going to take a lot of gentle care to get him over the trauma of being abandoned.
