LISTING REMOVED. Joni is a boar I've written about before, but now he finally has a picture! Right now he is at the Montgomery County Humane Society. You can find his listing on PetHarbor; he is under "I lost my pet" and his ID is #A312251. He is estimated to be two years old and has been at the shelter for four days now.This picture makes me sad not only because you can't see handsome Joni super well, but because the food he is eating in this photo is not good food for guinea pigs. The colored pieces are equivalent to junk food-the guinea pig picks those out to eat and then he doesn't get the necessary nutrients from the regular pieces. He will become used to only eating the colored pieces, gain weight, and become sick. Quality pellets are like those made by Kleenmama's Hayloft, or Oxbow Hay Company. Remember, alfala pellets for babies and nursing/pregnant mothers, timothy based pellets for adults.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
