I bought little Willy a friend named Bear. Although he's a dog shaped dog toy... but don't tell Willy because he thinks he's a guinea pig!

It's just to keep him company until he gets himself a friend.

Is it cruel of me to move 'Bear' around the cage/run as if he's alive, and make him 'groom' willy by nudging his mouth at him? Willy definitely likes it, squeaks at him and when he's being groomed he lifts his chin.

He also sleeps with Bear, but I've not caught this on camera despite my efforts! This is the closest I got ..

Any 'lone' piggies I've had for whatever reason have had a little 'friend' for company - cute to see them snuggled up together x)
Even after bonding etc. the piggies have still got their original 'friend' around :))
 
Yes ofcourse :) He's been unwell since I've had him but he's now better so the hunt will begin soon. At the moment I am very busy (sounds awful) but my plan is that once I finish uni on the 28th the active rescue/bonding will begin as I can clear/deconstruct my desk for a bigger cage. He's very content at the moment, but it wont be long until he gets a friend.
 
Willy has such beautiful hair and colours. Both my boys have a piggy sized stuffed bunny. Hazelnut still prefers to cuddle up to the toy bunny rather than cagemate Peanut Butter.

Good luck on getting him a real piggy friend!
 
I was making the toy move again earlier in his cage, and making it 'popcorn', willy started popcorning in response :)
I then had to do something and left the toy on top of his playstix and I came back to Willy nudging the legs of the toy. Felt so bad! He's been cuddling it since.
 
Glad he like's his cuddly friend. He is beautiful by the way love the hair and his lovely colouring x)
 
I tried to get a picture of him sleeping with Bear again, but he woke up last second and spotted me! grrrr
