Welcoming Peanut!

We recently welcomed a second guinea pig, Peanut, into our home. He's so tiny right now, about half the size of Guinness (who happens to be pretty big at 2 lbs 4 oz)! 


The new guinea pig, PEANUT!


Peanut up close and personal! (and a little scared)


Just for size comparison, this is Guinness in the same cave. 


We have them in separate cages right now for the "quarantine" phase, meaning that we need to keep them apart for a few weeks-- just to make sure they are both healthy pigs before we introduce them! I made vet appointments for both of them next week so they can have regular check ups. Then its piggy play time.

I really can't wait to introduce them. They will both be much happier having a buddy around!
