This is Teddy, our new 12ish week old guinea pig. Guinea pigs are very social creatures and need a mate. When Winston died, Scout spent a couple of days looking for him and squeaking loudly, obviously missing his buddie. Pets at Home had a few baby guinea pigs but Teddy was the prettiest. And he's so, so soft to touch. And tiny...
Although the guinea pigs appear happy in each other's company, it is advisable to introduce them to each other slowly. So Scout is camping out in the kitchen, literally
They look like Little and Large together, it's rather funny ;) Teddy attended Day Two of Elements, just briefly, where we got some help naming him. Apparently Bear Grylls is heading up the Scout movement now; we didn't like Baden, and Sophe wasn't keen on Bear (although I loved the irony) so Teddy he is :)
awww! LOVE Teddy!!

Oh, Sarah I've only just spotted this and he's so cute! Is he coming to Port Sunlight? (Better not tell the committee I'm encouraging livestock...) You could stamp & stitch a little baby sling for him!
