really, who could see a beautiful pig like this and not take him home? So you see, it's really not my fault.

(He is a purebred and was tagged by the breeder, but he had a pink spot on one of his feet so he was dropped at the farm store with two other females. Poor little pig :( )
 
He's gorgeous, sweet little guy. He can look forward to a loving home now :)
 
Poor boy! He is a gorgeous fox and will hopefully have a very loving and happy home with you!

Thank you! He was returned twice after being dropped of by the breeder, don't know why, never seen a satin fox before and he's an absolute doll with me. He's in quarantine right now but hopefully he'll get along with one of the pigs. I'm going to try two bonded pairs, though the trio get along fine right now, Dexter is often left out.

Do you have a trio of boars? It's unusual but not unheard of for boar trios to get on, but pairs may end up a better combination :)
 
PS: Please be aware that there is a risk of ending up with three single boars when trying to extend a boar couple to a trio, as the dynamics change entirely. If possible, rather go from on one stable pair to two pairs.

In my experience, guinea pigs that are very people orientated can struggle with other guinea pigs, so you have to also brace for that if you have never experienced it before.
 
Can't blame you at all! He's a cutie :luv: I'm sure he'll have a great life with you.

And follow Critter's and Wiebke's advices! :nod:
 
I hope you manage to successfully bond two bonded pairs once your new sweetie has come through his quarantine period. Sounds like a good plan esp. as trios can be unstable.

I already have a trio, and i am going to try two bonded pairs now. I'm not extending a pair to a trio.
 
He looks like a Percy (my Stan was Percy for a while but he looked more like a Stan!)
 
Wow look at him so handsome :nod: :luv:
Are u going to try pairing him with Dexter first? Hope it goes well :)

Is the breeders tag in his ear removable? Poor boy!

Such a gorgeous boy, congratulations on your new addition :wub:

I think maybe I would have succumbed to his charms too ;)
