Junior Guinea Pig
Linking in to my introduction thread, these are the four boys which have sadly passed away.
Sylvester 2000 - 2006
My first guinea pig, he bit me twice when I first had him. But after that, he was the most lovable piggy I've ever had. He would say hello, run up to you, lick your arms & when you were lying down on the chair he would run up your belly and sit on your chest and lick your face. He was so sweet!
I took him to a gardening centre mini guinea pig show & he came 3rd! Took him to a 'proper' show & we didn't come away with a placing, but we came back with Sunny so he had a friend.
I decided to put this piggy to sleep because he was just old (organs shutting down, looked too uncomfortable), but he kept fighting & eating! The worst day ever, I cried and cried. I love him so much. RIP Sylvester <3
Sunny 2002 - 2007
A breeder at a guinea pig show gave me Sunny, at first he would keep bullying Sylvester, but eventually they were best friends. A very greedy piggy but protected Sylvester. Double Trouble when he teamed up with Sebastian lol! RIP Sunny <3
Sooty 2004 - 2007
I bought Sooty from a pet shop, he was extremely shy and nervous. Had lots of trouble with him regarding mites. I think the whole shock of mites eventually got to him & I found him dead. He was very cute and even though he kept himself to himself, a lovely piggy. RIP Sooty <3
Sebastian 2004 - 2008
(I bought him with Sooty) The comedian and the most confident piggy I've come across. His rock star hairdo suited him lol! He always managed to escape out of his run & I caught him doing it, climbing up the fence into Sunny's part of the run. He was so lovable and funny!
One night however, my dad woke up to hearing him squeaking, he went down stairs and saw that a fox had him in his mouth. The fox got scared and luckily dropped Sebs and ran off. Dad ran up to him and luckily he ran under some leaves for cover. I got woke up and saw him fitting, rung up the vet and they said they couldn't do anything. So I wrapped him up in a towel & as soon as he was wrapped up he knew he was safe & stopped fitting. I put him in a shelter with his towel and got a syringe with sugar & water and fed him drop by drop every so often. So from 4am till 1pm I was nursing him. I picked a dandelion leaf (his favourite) and he started eating it! He managed to fight through it. I looked at his neck where there was saliva - no bite marks at all. Vet visit later, he was fine. The most lucky pig ever!
Unfortunatly years later, I found him dead. But he was the most lucky pig (and the funniest!) I've ever come across. RIP Sebastian <3
