Guys as you may know I've been complaining about the lack of guinea rescues in Belfast (Northern Ireland). Well my mums friend Lynda has two rescued ones (1 boy who has found a home and a baby girl), turns out (I never even knew this woman even HAD guinea pigs!) But anyways if people don't want them they give them to her and she finds them new homes.
My mum forgot all about what she did as she hasn't seen her lately and today they met up and me getting a new piggy must have arised, can you believe the luck?! Destiny I tell you :p I need to take her (it's a baby piggy girl that some woman owned but has to give away cus her kids keep annoying it, she's doing the right thing I think). I was gonna not take her until after Toby's neautering but she's moving to Dublin next week!
But fear not she's living in a diff cage.
Have I got all this right ? ......
Toby will be able to hear her squeak and stuff so it will get him used to the sound of another pig and interact somehow. The new piggy shall be in the new cage and Toby shall remain in his cage. They won't really have any contact until after Toby's second ivermectin treatment and when they do have contact it shall be in an neautral terriotory and this shall carry on until after Tobys neutering (and 4+ weeks after so he can't get her pregnant) so they shall interact after his mites have cleared up but like in my lap to avoid any humping :{ haha but will not actually live together until 4+ weeks after Toby's op.
Does this all sound okay? If I'm doing anything wrong please let me know I will not take offence :)
I'm soooo excited!! xx>>>
 
You shouldnt even risk putting them together even under supervision for play time..it only takes a few seconds for the deed to be done!

Having them in seperate cages next to eachother is fine though until after his neuter op :)

Lol thanks what if my mum holds Toby and I hold the girl both lyk in towels and let them sorta sniff eachother and stuff?
 
I agree Toby will be overwhelmed by the scent of a female after so many years alone it's not worth the risk putting them together without a barrier, my old boar who we deemed the laziest boy in town obviously possesses amazing high jumping skills since we found him on the girls side laying on his side looking spent :))

Lmao okay then :P It's just it will kill me not having them really together you know? But if it's for his own good!
 
Yes, it's not fair to get him all wound up over the scent of a girl. It is definately for his own good.
 
Once he is neutered he will be fine. I wouldn't even chance it in a seperate run its not worth winding him up. Keep them well apart and then when he is neutered he will love her! :)

Thanks! So a few weeks he will have farmilarised himself with her noises and stuff?
 
Once neutered you can put together after 4/5 weeks some vets say sooner but I won't commit to that just incase. He'll be fine. :)
