As many of you know, having had lots of guineas for many years, have been unable to have any more (yet) as have moved house and currently have no lawn or suitable accommodation but am lucky enough to have two grey and white guinea nephews in a house a few doors away.
They are a lovely family, and the two boy guineas are so happy and well looked after, and auntie guineapiglet is often to be found round there armed with parsley and dandelions.
Yesterday, one of their neighbours was loading the car up to take their singleton boy to the rescue centre because they 'no longer needed him', after having him on his own for nearly four years. My guinea nephews' mum said she would have him and has kindly offered him a home with her own boys - have been round a few times and he is soooooooooooo beautiful, blond, lovely eyes, and such a sweet little face. He has been on his own for such a long time. Today they are all out in a divided up big run, all squeaking happily and being very content together - he let out the most ginormous squeak, almost as if he has finally found his voice, and looked like such a happy little soul to finally find some friends to at least share a hutch with. It will take time, and we are not sure whether they will ever be fully integrated, but it is so hearwarming to see the pleasure on his face at finally discovering there are other creatures in the world that look like and sound like him.
to the guinea mum for offering him a home, what a star and in a nice way - they are all out in the sunshine, a very happy sight to see!
