My guinea pig clan has grown again with the addition of a ginger and white guinea pig called Poppy.
She was from Pets at Home and she has moved in with Fudge, who I adopted from the RSPCA. She was ten weeks old when I bought her.
Poppy and Fudge are getting on well. He is being a good boy and looking after her, although I was worried about him squashing her – he is a fair bit larger!
She was a bit shy at first but is starting to grow in confidence and in size. It always amazes me how quickly young guinea pigs grow and how they are fully functioning in such a short space of time.
Let’s hope Fudge and Poppy have a great friendship over the years. Fudge has had the snip though, so we won’t have any little Fudge/Poppies!
