2 Guinea Pig boars seek perfect home...
Hi,
I don't know if this is the correct place for this, but I am looking for an experienced home for two rescue pigs. Well, I say rescue... here's their story:
About 2 years ago, we saw a pig in a petshop
ops: who had very obvious sarcoptic mange. We told them this, they ignored... so we bought him
ops: I know we shouldn't have, but we were far less sensible at the time. Anyway - long story short, we hated seeing him without a friend, and found another poor pig with sarcoptic mange too (equally in a petshop). We tried to get them both living together, while treating them both, but the second pig, poor lad, had the mange spread to his side, and he had a nasty wound, which the first pig always worried at.
so we split them up for treatment. This took a very long time, and by the time both were clear, they were really not the happiest boys to intro.
Any road, they sort of never left. We advertised them for good homes for a while, but the right home never came along, and we didn't want them to go alone, or to a home without sufficient things to fulfill their needs...
We kept on working with them, for months and months, and recentlyish they've gone in together, and live happily together, with no issues, both of them happy and glossy and sleek and gorgeous.
Now that the time is right for them, now that they are company for each other etc, I am looking again for a perfect home for them, and I wondered if there's anyone on here who keeps pigs or may like to start? or if anyone can offer me any advice?
Also if homes are found further afield, is there anyone who would volunteer to homecheck for us?
thank you so much
