I never actually thought about getting a guinea pig until I went to a shop in Prestwich called Viper And Vine. But there he was, my gorgeous grey and white piggy. It was pretty much love at first sight.
Two weeks later and he knows I'm his mummy :)

Parsnip is a docile little piggy but gosh he's noisy! He chuckles and chirps all day long while he's pottering around in his cage or if I'm playing with him. He knows all the right buttons to press. If he wants a cuddle he squeals and watches me until I pick him up! Cheeky piggy :)
 
hehe thankies I think he's such a handsome boy :) he's only 11 weeks old so he's got a bit of growing to do yet as well :) it's funny how attached to him I am already <3
 
aww hes adorable (: have you thought about getting him a friend? (:
 
I would love to get him a friend, to be honest. But I've heard so many dangerous things about having him neutered and then people say two male piggies wont get on very well.
What would everyone suggest? Parsnip would love a buddy but the other piggy would have to be as gentle as he is I think or he might not like it very much.
 
theres alot of happily bonded boars on the forum (: because hes young he'd be best bonded with an older male
 
Hmm I'll have to look into it! I'm sure he would love a friend to play with while I'm at university :) I'd deffinitely be getting a rescue guinea pig this time though rather than one from a shop like Parsnip was.
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of piggies. What gorgeous colouring the piggie has and I'm sure he will have a wonderful life with you. He sounds like quite a character..
 
hes gorg, i have a 8 week old boar with a 5 month old boar if that helps, and my last two were similar ages and male x
 
What a beautiful boy, he's a handsome chap x) I think a friend will be great for him too, if it helps i have two bonded boars and they are so close to one another, hope you find that perfect friend for your piggie soon :)
 
Hi Parsnip, whee are called Amber and Coco and whee would love to come and live with youx) But our Mummy says you haven't been newted or something and she's too young to be a grandma :{

awww he's gorgeous welcome to the addictive world of piggies :))
 
Thanks everyone! I'm considering getting him neutered just so there are more options in terms of friends for him :) He's being a messy piggy right now, tipping his veggie bowl over. Ah well he's worth cleaning up after :)
