What other pets do you have?
This is Harry the Labrador (who inherited his name from a long line of Harry the Hamsters!)
And Rufus the Guinea-pig - having a bath for his skin, and not best pleased about it!
I have three other pigs too, Matilda, Fievel and Bronwyn. Rufus and Matilda came from a rescue centre along with Matilda's sister Daisy who died before xmas. Rufus was on his own but had just been neutered, so I got all three and he had a little harem
. Fievel came into the vets whilst I was working as a nurse - sad story, he was sold from a pet shop (P@H
), and returned 6 weeks later, the new owners wanting to return him as he was "defect". He had a broken leg, which had healed in an awkward position - basically imagine your forearm snapped in the middle and then healing at a right angle pointing in towards your body. The pet shop believe it or not gave them their money back! Then bought him to us to be put down! Their was nothing else wrong with him, and he could walk fine (with a bit of a limp), his only problem was he was absolutely petrified of people. I had a spare hutch so he came straight home with me. Rufus didn't like him though so we neutered Fievel too and I got a girlfriend for him (Bronwyn) from the pet handling barn at uni - I chose quite an outgoing pig to try and bring him out of his shell a bit - but now she just bosses him around! He is much better with people now, will always be a bit more nervous than the others I think.
That's my lot at the moment
