PopcornPigs
Adult Guinea Pig
Just over a month ago I took on this poorly 11 1/2 week old guinea pig. He was malnourished, weighing in at only 280kg. He had been severely bulled by two other guinea pigs and humped, increasing damage to his small body which was already affected by scurvy. He could not use his back legs and wimpered whenever they were touched.
Now.... now, he is a very different story.
Since being here he has also lost all of his incisors (at various times) due to the scurvy. However they are growing back, and he has developed the ability to walk again (and popcorn!) while being an absolutely beautiful, outgoing little chap. He has definitely found his little feet and is the loudest wheeker I have, somehow surpassing George which I didn't know was possible. He has now doubled in weight and is a whopping 595g.
"Look at my big long body"
"And piggy lips"
"And my lucious long locks"
"My mummy AND daddy love me, even if I am cheeky"
"But who can blame them? I am adorable!"
