Adult Guinea Pig
Hey guys, haven't posted in a while.
We lost Kenya and Zuki last year within a few months of each other. Zuki went first and we got Kenya a baby called Oscar, Kenya died a few months later (we knew it was coming but it wasn't expected so soon) anyhow, so not to let Oscar be alone, we got him another friend (introducing George). Well George came with a cold, so we had to separate them after bonding, whilst George had treatment. When we tried to bond, they had been apart too long and were both in their (puberty state I'm assuming) so bonding wasn't successful. George was too full on and Oscar was too defensive causing them to get quite cross with each other. Once they've both calmed, we'll try them again. Right now they live side by side in separate cages.
Anyways, to the reason I'm posting. I'm very close to my piggies, because of them being alone, I have them out a lot and hold them for long periods of time. Obviously this means they are very very tame. Oscar isn't as tame as George but it could just be their personalities.
George seems to be 'in love' with me lol. Basically, he never wants to be anywhere but with me, he constantly sits and licks my cheeks/face and tries to get my lips, but he tends to bite those so I keep him away. He's constantly nuzzling me, my neck, chin and he likes to stretch out and sit on me for ages. He's been doing this thing lately where his balls enlarge and he opens his bum (although it could just be the difference between when his balls are small and big) and he pushes his bum into my face LOL no matter where I put him (on my knee) he'll get back to my face and do the same thing.
Just wondering if this is him basically choosing me as his piggy mate haha I can't find anything on google about it.
