I stupidly went to P@H today to buy some sticks (never did buy them!) and wandered past the adoption bit. Inside was Benjamin. As you can see, he is no longer there....I saw him and couldn't just leave him there... I know it's not technically a rescue, but he needed a home.
He is 9 weeks old. And very confident! It said he has been on his own...not any longer! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

You can't get all of them in one, lol!
He could be a mismarked Tan but definately not a fox, I have said in the Breeds section he is more like a Tri-Colour (white, lilac and golden).

His right eye had a golden eye circle(which would be reconised as Tan) but ther other doens't look like it had a circle around it, just looks lilac.

I've seen chocolate foxes Emma O0 Toddie is a black fox but has silver agouti eye circles & belly :smitten: :smitten:

They do indeed, but they do not come in just black, they can come in Lilac, Chocolate, Beige and Slate.
They also have 'Pea spots' with are little white hairs at the beginning of the ears.

Well, he seems to be settling in OK. He spent the afternoon in with G&M yesterday and there seemed to only be a bit of dominance rough and tumble with no threat of fighting. So, after a sleepless night, all is well this morning! Minty (who spent much of yesterday chirruping and rumbling) and Benjamin are out having breakfast together...and everything is calm! Will try for pics later...
 
I can see why you got him, must have been love at first sight, he is very Handsome :smitten:
Glad Garry and Minty are happy with the new addition.
Can't wait to see pics of them all running around together. :)
 
I'm back living at home at the moment - fortunately just me and my dad. He had a bit of a wobbler when I first got Garry and Minty, but could soon be found waving veg in front of them, speaking to them in that stupid voice! Keeps telling them that they'll come to no harm and be well looked after here! He didn't take that much persuasion yesterday really...I think the words 'little finger' and 'wrapped around' spring to mind! ;D

A rescue in my books includes taking home any unwanted guinea pigs. So as far as I'm concerned, you did a rescue! O0

He's stunning. I adore his colouring, he's such a pretty pig to look at. I'd love to have him in my shed, he's gorgeous! :smitten:

I was out with my dad and was adamant that I shouldn't buy another piggy. I'm telling you, I was rooted to the spot by his cage...I think I was on the verge of having a kiddy fit in the shop if I hadn't got my own way. I'm 28 for crying out loud! ;D 98)

;D I'm almost 27 and I verge on having kiddy fits if I come across a pig needing a home and my fiance is putting his foot down! ;D :embarassed:

I told him it was good karma! When I come back as a piggy (I'm applying early - it's a cushy job!) I want people to look after me! 98)

I'll bagsy me some of that! ;)
 
I posted on your other one of all of them, but these piccies of him are gorgeous :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
>:D don't blame you either... ;)
