Lake Ridge/Woodbridge, VA: Bagel and Peanut are bonded five week old brothers. Bagel will even cry for Peanut if they're apart. They're friendly and active, but still skittish (typical of their age). They are being handled regularly by their temporary owners though. (The came from an already pregnant mom the owners took in).
Poppy is 3-5 months old, very curious of people and pigs, but will still get scared when he's being picked up. He likes lap time once he's actually in the lap though. He really loves floor time and snack time the most. He's been packing on the weight in his temporary home and is really enjoying the fine dining. He's the older brother to Bagel and Peanut.
Fiyero is father of the three boys, but is still "a fairly young adult" and "is probably one of the sweetest pig I have ever met." He is a sociable flirt, loves to be pet, held, and loves to cuddle! He does have impaction issues (not the teeth kind), and should go to a home with prior guinea pig experience.
All the boys live together fine now, and should be adopted together in pairs, or to a home where they'll have a friend. That pig (a male or spayed female) must be brought to the owner's house to make sure they get along. Adopters should own a C&C cage.
These pigs have a sad history and were rescued from a horrible cage by the poster. They were listed as "hamsters" on CL in a tiny filthy cage with no hay. Thankfully, that's in their past.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
