New Ginger Guinea!

Yays! =D=D

Today I went guinea pig shopping and am very happy with the wee man I got <3

Originally went to Gorgie Farm because I know they have a trust worthy breeding programme, sadly they had none for sale but I took my time to ask questions and get some answers. I'd already been to Dobbies and knew I trusted them far more than Pets at Home but they were still possibilities. Knowing they had both ginger males and females in Dobbies I asked if males were ok to live on their own, and I was advised that as when they fully mature they tend to fight. So my mind was made up to get myself a ginger boy =)

The guinea stock they get into our Dobbies come from a professional breeder who breeds for show and they get the rejects who can't be shown. My wee man has lovely dark eyes but his ears are too long, which makes him even cuter :aww:

He's still in his carry-box for the moment because I've still to drive back to Dundee, but as soon as he's settled and content I shall get some photos up =)
I'm thinking Hamish for a name, as it' a good Scottish Ginger name :XD: but I would like a few suggestions just to give me more choice =)

Suggest away if you have anything!

Aww how sweet, guinea pigs are fun pets <33 If I think of any names I'll suggest 'em, but Hamish is cute.
(It reminds me how my grandpa used to call ours "guinea hogs", pronounced 'gyinee hawgs' since he's from the south west lol ;) )

Thank you!
He's very unwilling to come out of his hidey hole for the moment, but it will just take time. I have joined a guinea pig forum to get some extra help and advice - man it's like owning a dog but more worrying!

I use to own one. It was the cutest little thing, but so scared of my dogs, I had to find it another home. I found a teacher who loved it! No dogs, too! =)

Yes, so true. The same thing happened with a very tame iguana we adopted. After a short while, he became less tame, lashing out with his tail. I found a great home for him, and the girl said he went back to being very tame. The only critters that do not seem to mind the dogs are the fish, the parrot, the cats, and the chickens. ;)
