We found a buddy!! Yea!!

Well, I got my first pig during the summer from the humane society. He is the best thing in the world!! But then I wanted to get Fiver a buddy so I have been looking and looking in shelters, on petfinder and on CraigsList.
I wanted to get a baby so their chances of getting along are higher and I finally found a baby that was what I was looking for on CL. He is 5 weeks old and we named him Jasper!! He seems pretty shy. I don't know if he will always be this way or if he will loosen up a little. Fiver is very social so I am hoping that he will rub off on Jasper.
Jasper is still in quarantine, which is a good thing since he had lice!! But I can not wait to get them together! We are expanding the 2x3 cage to 2x4 this weekend!
Happy to share!

He's very cute! Make sure you double check the sex before you introduce them.

Re: We found a buddy!! Yea!!

Awwww, I'm so happy for you, it's hard finding the "right" one sometimes, as I very well know, I'm going through the same thing, looking for a younger male for my 7 month old dominant one! I have 2 dominant boars who were fighting and now separated, but odd #'s, leaves the one alone........Jasper is sooooo cute, post up more pics when you get a chance, he's a cutie pie!!!!

Aw, he's adorable!
I've read that pigs can get lice, but I don't know how? Do they jump onto them from human heads? What a nightmare. Hope he's doing well now!

Re: We found a buddy!! Yea!!

Guinea pigs can get lice, but they get them from other guinea pigs, not from humans. It's a different kind of louse.
