NEW GUINEA PIG!!!!!

I'm am very happy to announce that with the edition of the bigger and better cage (that is more than enough room for 5 Guineas), I decided to get another Guinea Friend. I like to introduce to you...

PHIDIAS!!!

Phidias is a baby Tan & White Abyssinian. I would guess he is only about 3 weeks old judging by his size. And he has even more cowlicks than Alvin! His colors also blend together in a very unique and beautiful way. And his ears and and some of his feet are darker than the rest of him. His colors look like some tan paint was poured into some white paint and left to dry without being mixed or blended together. He's like a work of art and he is named after an Ancient Greek Sculptor and Painter.

As you can see I gave him a bath as soon as I brought him home. The conditions he was in before was horrible! The bottom of him was wet and stained. He didn't have a shelter before so he hid underneath his water bottle, which dripped. He also had Cedar Chips for bedding, which is not healthy for small pets. They breathe in the dust which causes respiratory problems.

He seems like he has a very outgoing personality. He was more curious than scared when I was taking him home. He purred when we petted him. And he took very well to Rascal. They seem like they'll be best friends!


Here's a video of Rascal & Phidias playing. When Phidias jumps in the air, he's popcorning. Guinea Pigs do that when they are happy =)
