Bonding An Unexpected Pig

[Rayvn]

Check out this handsome devil . Well, here's the story. I got a phone call this afternoon from one of my friends, and she told me that someone she knew had to get rid of a guinea pig, or she was going to give him back to the store. I said that I could probably take him. A few hours later, a car pulled up to my house and my friend handed me a box containing this little guy. It looks like parts of his ears were chewed away. I'm keeping him in Leonardo's old cage until I can properly introduce them (assuming that he's a boy, which I believe he is). Any tips on how? Any links or ideas would be very helpful. Should I take him to the vet before I put the pigs together?

I was thinking of naming him Donatello or Raphael. What do you think?

By the way, I'm not very good at identifying breeds, but I think he's a peruvian. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!

He is awesome! Definitely looks like a Donatello. Thanks for helping him out and congratulations!

What a sweet face! Looks like a peruvian/abby mix. Peruvian's don't usually have cowlicks like that. He's adorable.

you did a good thing taking this guy in! i'd also suggest a trip to the vet to have him checked out ear to bum!

I think Raphael or Donatello would be cute for him. He could also be a Picasso, Mattisse, Monet, Warhol......He's a beauty.

Ninja Turtles! I love the Ninja Turtles! He is ADORABLE. I'm so glad you took him in rather than letting him go back to the stores. He's gorgeous! He looks more like a Raph rather than a Donnie too. Just something about the face. Congrats on the new little guy!

He is a cutie. Make sure you do keep him Quarantined before intros, and def get him checked out. I think he looks like a Donatello, but I just love that name so I am biased .
