Junior Guinea Pig
Hello Everyone,
I posted in the rescue forum looking for a baby boar for my first piggy in a long time Tomato. It just so happened that my local rescue had a little boy returned because he wasn't the female they were expecting. So he was hoping sometime would adopt him as a companion for another piggy. He was called Goldie but I'm thinking of a new name when I get to know him a little better. I picked him up on Thursday and he is a little cutie, about 10 weeks old, which is ideal for introducing him to Tomato who is around 2-3 years old.
They met each other in the run on the lawn and things went so well that they spent several hours together yesterday and are out in the run again today. There is a lot of talking and sniffing, a little popcorning, chasing and mounting and the odd bum shuffle and side kick but nothing serious
The only thing that concerns he is that the little one seems to be doing most of the mounting. I would have thought the older pig would be dominant but I suppose it doesn't always follow?
So here they are sniffing:
Not too concerned, just munching some grass:
Bit of a dodgy moment here:
A couple of Tomato posing for the camera, making sure I get his best side. His ear was already split when I rehomed him, the previous owners didn't seem to know how or when it happened but he was housed with a rabbit so it might have been from him:
