Skittles as some of you know was not doing well after his teeth were filed down. After a month of syringe feeding and round the clock care he had shown no sign of improvement. Last week I took him to Glen who discovered that he had developed an abscess on his jaw and it was pushing his jaw away from the rest of his mouth. Glen told me the best thing to do would be put him to sleep which of course was horrible and filled with :0
About two weeks before that I told my boyfriend that I wanted to get Skittles a friend. I didn't tell him I was interested in getting one from a rescue and wanted to wait until he was better, and he got me another Guinea Pig from a pet store. Guinness is about 3 months old and he and Skittles bonded right away. They spend a lot of time snuggling together and following each other around.
Obviously I needed to get Guinness a friend after Skittles passed and the vets put me in touch with a local Guinea Pig rescue. I went there a couple days ago with Guinness and after trying two different boars who Guinness did not like at all, he met Petey who is 14 months old. They bickered for a little bit but started to get along. I brought him home and have re-named him Hamish. He and Guinness get along wonderfully most of the time, though there are moments where I still need to separate them.
Here are the boys
