When I got my skinny pig Pinkie, everyone told me that guinea pigs are herd animals so I needed another. Therefore, a month after I got Pinkie, I got Peanut from a breeder. And it was hate at first sight with the two of them. Maybe once or twice did they have a good moment, when they were scared or something. But 99% of the time they were biting each other, scratching, rumbling, rubbing their butts everywhere so their scent overpowers, etc. It was horrible. Nightly I would get woken up by that familiar, “BRRRR . . .” and then when attacking, “MEEP MEEP MEEP!” I couldn’t do it anymore, I wanted Pinkie and Peanut to be happy so I gave Peanut away. I will miss him, he was born February 16 2015 and I got him in April a month after getting Pinkie. However it wasn’t too hard to get rid of him, I’m sad to say; I never formed an emotional attachment to him. Luckily though, the people who bought him constantly send me photos of him. He looks really happy in his new cage! Plus there’s a skinny pig next door in the cage beside him named Phoebe. Possible girlfriend, perhaps? (Sorry, Pinkie. No girlfriend for you.) Maybe I will see you again one day, Peanut. Long live the skinny pigs! (Or stinky pigs, as I call them.)
