Hi im Kayla,and my piggie doesnt have an official name yet(ideas?) I have always wanted a guinea pig(ok, for 2 years) But had never liked the pet store piggies because they were to skiddish and squirmy when you tried to hold them. The nearest rescue place is 4hours from where I live and I couldnt drive. Anyways I was at my local petshop buying crickets for my tarantula and I saw this piggie in a cage behind the counter, I asked why he wasnt with the rest of the guinea pigs they had for sale and the lady told me a lady dropped him off because she was no longer using him for breeding. So I asked if I could hold him and I instantly fell in love with his sweet calm nature.I asked if he was for adoption and she I could just have him because they didnt have any use for him. I know I shouldnt have gotten him from a petstore, but at least I didnt add to the cruelty by paying for him. Anyways, I know everyone loves pictures so heres a few, i'll post more later.   Any name ideas? He is a he. Thanks, Kayla       |

He is very handsome and looks like he needs a dignified name. How about Franklin? Your favorite characters from books and movies might give you some name ideas. |

Though you got him from a pet store, I think you can call it a rescue. He's very cute! How about Mr. Darcy for a dignified name? Pride and Prejudice is the only 'classic' that I enjoyed... |

Thank you all for the replies. He was dubbed "todd" by my boyfriend who insisted he be named tank, so we settled on todd. So far he has been a complete joy and hasnt even seen what his cage looks like yet because he has been going absolutely every where with me. Everyone who meets him just loves him. |

I know I should get him a friend, but for now I think he should be ok considering he spends about 2 hours a day in his cage so he shouldnt be too lonely. |
