I recently adopted a guinea pig named Pancake. He was about three years old, and while he adjusted to the change of homes well he seemed to be a little depressed. I logged on to all the cavy websites I could find, and read 5 books on social behavior of guinea pigs. I realized that he must be lonely. Even though I have at least 2 hours of floor time with him a day. So after much consideration I decided the only way to lift his spirits was to get him a friend. I was a little apprehensive about finding another guinea pig to adopt in NYC because it took me soo long to find him. So I called around to different places and found a Petstore that had an adoption center for small furry friends.
I called them up to see if they had any young male guinea pigs for adoption and they did! So the next night I rushed across town after work, and checked out the selection. I found a spirited little one and knew that he was the one. I took him home, and let him settle into his new home. They both have slowly become familiar with each other and are soo cute when they cuddle. The younger one is Wilbur (he is the multicolored one). So I took these pics of them today, and decided to post them. Enjoy! And thanks to everyone who helped me find them.
Adopted in NYC
and Pancake is ADORABLE!! so is Wilbur! I'm glad he has a companion, they do very well in groups. Since you have two piggies now have you expanded your cage? Do you use the C & C Cages... for two it's best to have a 2 x 4 or bigger.
