Moo
Teenage Guinea Pig
Hiya GuineaPig friends, I would like to share with you all where I'm at with finding a friend for Tubby my 3yo boar. Tubby has been living alone since My Moo past on 21/12/2014 as heartbreaking as it was it didn't take me long to realize my Tubby will be on his own and was probably missing Moo as much, if not more than I was, So I had to quickly pick myself up and get thinking!
I called around all my local rescue centers, but had no luck finding a friend for Tubby. I did consider the neuter option and after careful consideration, advice and reserch I just couldn't do it.
I then found a rescue center I over looked that had 5 single boars and decided to take a leap of faith. I drove down there as I saw a handsome black boar which reminded me a little of Moo, when I arrived and went down to the Guineapig section I was mistakenly handed a beautiful 2yo PEW, after seeing him my mind was already made up this would be the boy I'll adopt. I did hold all the other 4 piggies, but I went with my heart.
Today the rescue centre will be carring out a home visit. I'm excited and nervous at the same time as there is allot riding on this, more so hoping Tubby will get on with his new friend when he finally comes home, which should be on saturday I've been told if all goes well. I never had the option of boar dating at this rescue unfortunately as they did not allow it.
I've familiarized my self with the bonding section of the forum, which is incredibly good for anyone considering introducing a new Piggie to their existing piggie family
This is there home 3 x 5 C&C, I've put a divider down the middle of the cage for the time being with the hope that after the bonding sessions I can take it away. I'll also be adding an additional 2 x 3 extension running off the right hand side if I feel its neccersary.
