So how did you find out about this piggie and her rabbit friend?
It was my daughter who thought of the name Jewel, as in Rio, the movie. She is too old to breed so she will just live out her life with the girls. Strangely enough they give her a wide berth, I've gone in there and she is at one end of the cage and the rest of the girls are at the other.
The lady who owned them lives in Rugby, and it was earlier in the year that she contacted me on my Facebook Page and asked if I could rehome Rio. She just didn't have the amount of time needed to spend with him. I was unable to go and collect them for obvious reasons, and she never was able to deliver them here. So, I thought about the courier I had used recently and I put the idea to her. And, finally Rio and his buddy made it here.
I was in a bit of a dilemma about the guinea pig being in with the rabbit. It's against what I believe in. I would never put them together because a rabbit can seriously hurt a guinea pig. The lady told me that this guinea pig didn't get on with any other guinea pig which is why she was with the rabbit. At least she doesn't attack any of the other pigs, she just likes to be on her own but I don't have the space for her to have her own cage so she will have to get along with the other piggies.
