Hey! My name is Meaghan, and this is my precious little nugget, Zuko:
Sorry for the sideways photo, it is right side up on my computer?
Anyways! We rescued this little guy about a week ago. Apparently he had been living under my boyfriend's brother's porch for THREE WEEKS alone after randomly showing up in his yard one day. I guess he had been feeding him carrots, but he refused to bring him indoors because they couldn't afford a cage. They also refused to let me take him from the yard... so later during the night my boyfriend and i went back, lured the little guy out with strawberries, and caught him. Just before a long rain storm too. We immediately went out the next morning to purchase everything he needed. I scoured craigslist and the neighborhood for lost guinea pig posts but nothing came up so we are keeping him permanently.
Currently he is housed in a decently sized bunny cage, but it's small even for him so idk how a bunny would enjoy it at all. Not much running room. We have purchased the supplies to make him a large C&C cage! It'll be almost 3x6 i believe! I am super crafty and have a ton of fleece already from other projects and i'm excited to make him a bunch of fleece pads and pillows and tunnels etc!
We also plan on bringing him to the vet for a check and to get him neutered! After that we'd like to adopt a female companion for him! I REALLY want an Abyssinian guinea pig! I love their fur!
Here are a couple videos i took of him!
