My husband was going to purchase me a 3d pregnancy scan for xmas - however after a chat we decided not to have one due to past experiences with scans.

So my hubby this year hadn't had chance to buy me anything for xmas as he'd been saving for the scan.

As you know we lost Bruce and my old Mr humphrey last year which devastated me. After taking all 4 of my remaining piggies to the vets and disinfecting the shed over and over again we finally got the all clear and all my piggies are claimed to be fit and healthy.

My hubby has been acting odd for a few days with keeping his mobile on silent and finally sneeking off tonight when i thought he was leaving for work.

He finally returned with this gorgeous little fella

As humphrey was actually my daughters guinea pig she has claimed this little man as her own and named him Bobby.

Bobby is 11 weeks old and is a lunkarya cross swiss/rex - Lunkarya's were always a fav of mine but i've never had the pleasure of owning one so i'm thrilled to bits.

Now for the medical side of things.

I plan on housing Bobby with my Winnie-Willow - my question is when could i get him neutered? He currently weighs 634g so obviously he has lots of growing still to do.

Bobby is staying in my bedroom for a week or two before going into the shed - once he's in the shed i'll place Willow in a cage near him so they can live side by side until he has his manhood under control! lol

This is my beautiful winnie willow

Any advice regarding the neutering is very much welcomed as i've never had a guinea pig neutered before x
 
Hey hun, congrats, he is gorgeous!

How old is he? I had my boy done at approx 3 - 4 months, not sure what weight he was.

He is 11 weeks old, i have 2 cavy savy vets that i can get to so i may ring them both tomorrow and see what weight/age they suggest. I think i would honestly feel a bit more comfortable if he was a little older or heavier.
 
Congrats he is gorgeous! handsome boy
 
This little boy is cuddle mad! He was that relaxed on me his leg nearly fell off :))

I can't wait for his personality to start showing - if its anything like his hair we have some fun times ahead!
 
Awwwwww x) Look at that chookie leg, what a cuddle monster!
 
i know i have said it already but he is so cute looks just like me first thing in the morning
we share the same looking bed hair lol
 
lol his hair certainly is wild!

My hubby isn't too keen on having Bobby neutered as he's petrified of losing him to the GA. I'm going to book a vets appointment when i've decided which vets is best and then i'll take my hubby too so he can ask any questions and see if that helps him - i think its more to do with the lack of information he has than anything else.

In the meantime though he has us hoomans to keep him occupied and it wont be long until he can venture into the shed and live next to his soon to be wifepig.

Winnie is going to be overjoyed! We had been trying to pair her up with Jessie but Jessie is just far too dominant for her - she's far too dominant for me to be fair she still bites us all when she doesnt get her own way lol
