Just an update on our lovely guinea boys
Bertie & Horatio are (touch wood) getting on well. They have a mad five minutes now & then when they take it in turns to do full lap of the cage with popcorns at the far end
. They sleep pretty near each other & Bertie is better about sharing with Horatio now although we still get the odd bit of rumbling & chasing. Horatio is getting braver about people, he wasn't much handled before he came to us & is putting on weight nicely. Bertie is also gaining weight which makes me think he is happier to have a friend again.
Little Pip is doing ok too, he has gone up from 300g to 390g last night
. We are working quite hard with him on taming now as he had become a bit less keen on being caught from his cage & had nipped a couple of times. He is very happy to sit on laps & eat hay once he has been caught & then curls up & goes to sleep right there on your lap. I think he may just have stolen my heart... We are waiting until he is a bit stronger to get him a friend. He drinks a lot of water & I want to get him checked out properly by our exotics vet & get his urine dipped just in case of diabetes before we try to pair him up with another older rescue boar.
I will pop some more photos on soon.
