Last night I seen an advert on a free ad site with 3 guinea pigs "free to a good home". I emailed and was suprised this morning to have a reply and the person lived just across the border.

Two females and a male, I only had room for one more beyond my two girls, so was interested in the male, not wanting to split up the girls who lived together seperate from the boar. But could I leave the girls there?

Thankfully I found a home for the girls as well. After quarentine they will be moving in with two other girls and a neutered male. xx>>>

The Girls:

My Boy, now named Hugh McMoo:

They are good weights and seem pretty healthy, though our boy hasn't ate much, if anything this evening. Tomorrow I'm going to get him plenty of grass which, according to his previous owner, he loves.

All about two years old. One female has previously had a litter, the other one, two or three. Our boy has sired a few litters. The previous owner liked to "let them have families". No questions asked about where they were going. Just, when I was putting them into our car, if I was planning on breeding off them. I politely answered no, they are going to be pets.

They are skittish, not used to being handled much, but nothing time, love and veggies wouldn't cure. :)
 
Lovely piggies. Well done for taking them. I'm loving your boy's new name too - made me smile.
 
Hugh McMoo is a fabulous name! :)

Hope they all settle in well to their new homes. Good for you x
 
Thank you everyone for your comments!
Hugh is utterly adoreable! As was the two sows. :) (For anyone who is wondering, I'm Splat 'n' Dexter's daughter)
 
Thank you for the lovely comments. :)
Miss Piggy and I came up with the name together; I was going for Moo-moo and she said you may as well call him Hugh... and it became Hugh McMoo. I don't think there are too many guinea pigs running round with that name. :))

I see Mr McMoo has become your avatar already. I'm gonna tell Nutmeg on you! :x
 
Oh I am so pleased you have rescued them. I hate to think they have been breed constantly. I am glad they will have good lives now.
 
Beautiful x) So pleased they are with you now and can enjoy the rest of their lives in a wonderful caring home.
 
Thank you for the kind comments.

McMoo is settling in tonight. Eating his hay and grass, even enjoyed some lettuce and cucumber tonight. (Parsley and pepper were ignored.) He came out for a cautious nosey about earlier when we were in the room. I think the noise from the girls that got him curious.

I'm gonna contact a few local vets this evening to see who has the most experiance regarding neutering piggies and consider our options.
 
Well done to you both xx>>>xx>>>

Oh they're just gorgeous x)droolx)drool

cough cough............ anytime you'd like to put more pigtures on PLEASEEEEEEEEE DO SO x)
 
Thanks. :)
I'm really please with how well Hugh McMoo is settling in. He's eating plenty and starting to look interested when we are about, as oposed to hiding and freezing. He's not a stupid guinea pig, he's quickly worked out everytime we arrive in the room it means food!:))
