Meet Max, Winkys new BFF. They are both incredibly energetic and so fun to watch!

I was thinking about keeping them but now I'm not sure. Winky is definitely adoptable and if the right adopters come up I think it might be best.

Oh they definitely have nuzzling noses! Winky is so trusting it's really cool, he's super sweet. Max is a spaz! He wheeks for pellets while eating a bowl full of pellets!!
Winky is huge!! I'll have to weigh him tomorrow and post an update, he's gonna be a big boy!

So I started putting the word out that I was looking for a spayed older female for Leo. I figure another baby male won't work once his hormones kick in, an adult male would be an issue cause they'd both be struggling for dominance and I just worry about Leo's heart.

Wee Companions just got back a spayed 2 year old female! She was originally found left at a vets office in a small cage with toe males. She was pregnant and after the babies were weaned they tried her with several other females unsuccessfully. She didn't wanna get along with any of them so they had her spayed. She was adopted as a buddy for a male who wasn't getting along with other males. That was March 2013. In December one of the volunteers was skimming through Craigslist and saw an ad for a male and spayed female guinea pig and they recognized them as former WC piggies! They contacted them and got them back (as required by the adoption contract). Unfortunately the male has a cancerous memory tumor so they had him neutered while removing the mass and decided to pair him up with another female who also has cancer and keep them as sanctuary piggies. This leaves Holly as an available spayed female and in desperate need of a stable FOREVER home.

Meet Holly, Leo's new love.

They hit it off instantly and actually snuggle! It's the sweetest thing ever! She is timid but once you hold her she settles in and starts to relax. I love her!
