Meet our new addition!

On Sunday we went up to Animal Lifeline rescue in Sutton - Surrey which was very close to London! It took us approx 1:45 hours to get there. Gino fortunately coped very well with the travelling and was snoozing the whole time. For those who don't know or remember, I took Gino on at the end of August from a family who did not look after him properly- he had a poor life. As Gino is estimated to be 5/6 years old. We decided it would be a good idea to adopt a neutered male with the intentions of the future. When the inevitable happens and Gino passes away we can bond the young boy with my girls - Ruby & Daisy.

We had the choice out of 12 neutered males that were all 12 weeks old and in a group together. It was so hard choosing but we decided to go for one that was quite small and was different to our other pigs - they had quite a few agouti mixes and as we have 3 already we decided to go for something completely different. Our little boy is black & cream with a little crest He does have a scab wound on his nose which was most likely the result of having so many males together but hopefully this should clear up very soon.

He does have no name at the moment as can't decide on one. Although my my mum wants to call him Alfonso and my dad wants to call him Giuseppe! I quite like Gizmo too!:roll:

I apologise for the quality of these photos - these were taken on my phone!

He's adorable!! I like Alfonso

Giuseppe the piggy

Gorgeous! he reminds me of one of mine when I was little - Ginny.

I only have rabbits now but I do love Guinea Pigs - such wonderful animals. Hope they get on together - lucky Gino!

Squee they are both gorgeous

they are lovely, I do like alfonso how do you pronounce the other name?

Aww what a cutie! I think Giuseppe goes nice with Gino

Absolutely gorgeous! love the pic of them snuggling!

Awwww I love love love baby piggies

Gino must be astounded at how his life has turned around!

What a handsome piggie! Gino is so lucky to have a home with you.
Gosh...all those names are great. I would have a hard time choosing...I like both Gizmo and Giuseppe, though his name may turn out to be Pillow since Gino is using him as one.
Love the rosette on his forehead, that little tuft of fur is fantastic!

Have you posted piccies of your girls lately? I don't recall seeing them. (hint-hint)

Lovely photos.
