I have ALWAYS wanted a black piggie & when i saw the lovely Henry at Kate's (Cornflower Cavies) needed a home i could not resist.
Kate had named him Henry, which so suits him but i wanted to add my own bit.
Todde is old english for Fox (his breed) hence Henry Todde, affectionately known as Toddie.
He was a bit of a bully with his previous cage-mate so he's living alone at the mo but has Wilbur next door to chat to.
Thank you so very much Kate for allowing me to adopt him, i am in love :smitten: :smitten:
Anways enough of the talk here he is...........

Posing nicely

"Folklore traditions involving guinea pigs are numerous; they are exchanged as gifts, used in customary social and religious ceremonies, and are frequently referenced in spoken metaphors.[7] They also play a role in traditional healing rituals by folk doctors, or curanderos, who use the animals to diagnose diseases such as jaundice, rheumatism, arthritis, and typhus.[8] They are rubbed against the bodies of the sick, and are seen as a supernatural medium.[9] The animal may also be cut open and its entrails examined to determine whether or not the cure was effective.[10] These methods are widely accepted in many parts of the Andes, where Western medicine is either unavailable or distrusted. " :(
"Among the Quechuas, black guinea pigs are considered especially useful for diagnoses by folk doctors.[2"

Poor piggies!
 
"At this time the guinea pig also played the role of the evil spirit collector in traditional healing rituals. In Andean medicine the guinea pig was rubbed over the body of a sick patient, and when it started squeaking they believed it had identified the affected area! Black guinea pigs were considered especially holy, as in the wild black is the rarest colour, most wild guinea pigs are brown or grey, similar to the agouti colour we see today."

So you have a potential holy healer there!
 
Aww, he's a real beauty, I'd never seen a piggie with a different coloured tum before! He's a lucky boy to have found such a great home :)
