For a couple of weeks now we have had two guests from the rescue. Guinea pig boars Rhett and Harley have come to stay awhile as they recover from being neutered. They are living in separate cages, one on top of the other, on the opposite side of our living room from our pen.
They had their surgery two weeks ago and must wait 6 weeks before they can safely be introduced to some girls. They have healed well and must now just sit it out. Both boys have been at the rescue for months and have been introduced to a number of boars who were looking for friends, but both boys proved to be too rude and the behaviour was not tolerated for long by the prospective friends. They also don't like each other and so their best prospect for a new home is with girls. Since Suzy will not re-home to a home if she thinks breeding is on the agenda, the best option for them was a visit to Dr. Snippy!!
So 4 more weeks and they can both meet some of the lovely girls at the rescue, or some of the sows waiting to come in to find a friend.
They are rather shy but I'm determined to get some nice photos as they are both rather spectacular.
