I just knew there was another guinea pig out there that was about to come home with me. I just sensed it.
This is a young guinea pig, perhaps 4-8 weeks at most. I am not sure of gender yet. Probably its a male, but he is small and young and it is late and I wanted him to settle down for the night.
The person who had this tiny baby claims it bit their child. They brought it into the reptile centre(where I volunteer) determined that it would be fed to a big snake!
We don't do that to discarded pets. Instead the person who was there at the time was very vague about what we would do and then hid the guinea pig until I could get there.
What is the matter with people!
I can understand realising that a guinea pig is not going to work out as a pet and therefore wanting to get rid of it.
What I can't understand is the deliberate intention to see the animal die. This is a tiny baby guinea pig and the guy wanted a big snake to eat it. It is kind of a sick revenge on a tiny animal.
He doesn't bite, but he was pretty hungry. So maybe his nibbles were a way of saying "Please sir, I want some more"
Meeting the Muffin.
Biscuit seems fine with him.
First family dinner
He is not shy about helping himself
He seems to like the cucumbers best. Good thing I am going shopping tomorrow. I am going to need more veggies.
I think they are going to be fine together. He is certainly a pretty little guinea pig and very sweet.
More pictures tomorrow and I will figure out a name.
