Cibach
Junior Guinea Pig
Due to an influx of new piggies, mostly boys, at Suzy's rescue, 2 of her resident boars have come on vacation to our house.
These boys live next door to each other at the rescue and although they won't tolerate a shared cage, they are clearly bonded and enjoy each others company. They are currently staying on the bottom deck of my smaller pen which I have divided down the middle so each has his own space but can clearly see the other. They like to sit next to the barrier, leaning against each other and will often sleep touching noses through the grid.
This old boy is called Dyson and is affectionately known as the Pocket Rottweilor as he is very pig aggressive.

He is quite shy but does enjoy a veggie treat during lap time and is very interested in the girlie noises that often fill our living room!
This fine lad is called Daddy Pig or the Pocket Pitbull. He is also unhappy with other piggies in his space, but misses Dyson when he is not in his cage next door. Daddy Pig is not shy and will gnaw at the bars if he thinks I'm too tardy bringing the breakfast. He also enjoys lap time and in this pic had just heard our large group of girls calling because they thought he was getting veggies!

We don't know how long they will be staying but they are welcome for as long as it takes. It's a good job they are boys otherwise Suzy would have a fight on her hands to get them back!
