We hope your week is off to a great start! Tonight we have a story to share that’s almost too incredible to believe.
A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a family who had spotted a guinea pig near a parking lot they visited often. After patiently working to catch him for nearly a week, they finally succeeded and made the long drive, over an hour, to bring him to us. We named him Tater Tot. Despite his time outdoors, he was in decent condition, just a little underweight from the ordeal.
But the story didn’t end there.
About a week later, the same family reached out again. They had spotted another guinea pig in the exact same spot. Once again, they managed to safely catch him and made the same one-hour trip to bring him to us. This little one, now named Nugget, was also in fairly good health but noticeably more underweight.
When we introduced the two boys, something remarkable happened. There was no rumbling, no dominance displays, none of the typical behavior we usually see during introductions. It was as if they already knew each other. We truly believe these two may have been companions before their time outside.
Tater Tot and Nugget are now safe, thriving, and gaining weight. They’ll be ready for adoption soon and will stay together, because some bonds are meant to be. 💛🐹🐹
