Hi everyone, I'm new here and as I said in my introduction post, here is a picture of my current guinea pig Oscar. He will be one tomorrow I can't believe how fast he's grown up. I've had him since he was 8 weeks old when he used to fit in my hand with plenty of space xx>>>, he adores lettuce, I think he would sell his soul for the stuff. He also has the biggest set of lungs and always reminds me when it is dinner time. He broke the world record for the highest jump by a guinea pig but before we where going to film it to send it off, he managed to break his toe, though not by jumping. So now we are having a bit of a break from the records. So any way here is Oscar !

PS: Your nearest recommendable good standard rescue is The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue in Stoke-on-Trent if you are looking for a boar friend. They may not have a suitable boar in at the moment, but they may be able to keep their eyes open for you and do the bonding for you at the rescue. http://www.thepotteriesguineapigrescue.co.uk/
Otherwise, there is a very good exotics vet specialising in guinea pigs in Telford if you are considering having Oscar neutered so he could live with a girl or two after a 6 weeks post op wait. I hope that you can find him a companion of some sort eventually.
 
Thank you, we where planning on getting one from the RSPCA, as there was a suitable one under treatment but there has been a bit of miscommunication as they are now saying there is a few months wait which is unfortunately to long an they told me a few weeks in the beginning. Our current pet shop has some babies at the moment, and we no the breeder, who is lovely and really looks after her piggies. I'll look at that rescue to see if they have a piggie suitable, I would of course prefer to give a home to a rescue. Thanks for you help it's really appreciated ;)

Character compatibility is key to a successful boar bond, so it is very important that boars can meet before they come home with you. Otherwise you can easily end up with two single boars. You might find our boar guide at the top of the behaviour section very helpful.
