I contacted Irene who runs Cavy Haven" a Guinea pig rescue in Winsford to see if she could find me a new friend for Beau, she told me to take him along and she would put him in a pen and introduce some of the piggies to him and see which who he liked best, she called it "speed dating" for piggies!!

So last Wednesday we took him along and he chose a gorgeous 4 week old, chocolate and white, male rex, we have named him Hurley.



Here is Beau chosing between him and another piggie (I wanted to take them both as they were both so cute but we only had room for 1 )



Oh and guess what else we came home with?????????????



We have named him "Paris" I will try and get some better pics of him soon.

Irene said that they have to separate the male piggies from their mum at 3 weeks!! It does seem young to be away from mum but they are fully weaned by then so can go to their new homes. Hurley does look so little next to Beau even Irene was shocked at the size of him, I cant understand why he is so big as I don't overfeed him Irene says some breeds are just big
