Hello, I have a guinea pig that I rescued from a person off craigslist several years ago, and i have been doing some research on him because he is somewhat different than any pig i have ever had. When i went to get him, the lady said she was re-homing him due to having a female. But i suspect that it was because of his very terrified skittish behavior. He was a baby when i got him and he was small and so scared. Within a few months he doubled in size so i put him on a diet, of the minimum pellets and mostly hay and veggies, but he continued to gain weight. He is about 4lbs now and he is only 3, and no matter what i do he will not lose weight. he is absolutely huge. I don't think this picture does him justice. i know that cuys usually are orange or red, and that they may have extra front toes, but he obviously doesn't have those, here is the website i found, he fits everything but the top two and the last one, on this list. https://www.laguineapigrescue.com/cuy-reports-and-sightings.html I wanted to ask you all and see if he is, he is somewhat not as skittish and scared but its only if you hold super super still and allow him to make all the moves and things. Other than that he freaks out, right after i took this picture he ran and hid under my blankets. Please let me know what you think, he is about 3 years old. And he has a huge nose and ears that hang down.
