Tommies Mam
Adult Guinea Pig
Tomorrow all being well Sparky will have a new pal, it seems to early for me but Sparky is so lonely. Now thanks to some amazing and lovely people on this board I have the choice of four piggies and they are coming to my house for the meeting.
I have the choice of one of 2, 7 week old babies, an 8 month old and a year old. It is so hard to choose between them but ultimately it's down to Sparky. I have heard adult boars are harder to bond with adult boars though Prince Harry and Sparky were bonded at 19months and 1 year respectively. Therefore I am thinking more along the lines of getting a baby, Sparky would be a great foster daddy I think. My major concern with getting a baby comes from my experiences with Tommy. I am scared that when he reaches puberty they will be ructions and they will fall out which would be dreadful as there is no room in the inn for a third cage.
Thomas and Sparky got on like a house on fire till Tommy around 5 months old and then all hell broke loose and I had to separate them. It most likely wasn't helped by a then friend putting them next her girls cage when they stayed at hers. Since this point Thomas has remained anti-social and aggressive to other piggies. All attempts at bonding have failed. he's not even that keen on cuddles from mum despite numerous attempts.
Any advice would be welcome.
