Herbert is a small young male who is really sweet and is learning how to be pet. He is a snuggle-boy in the making, and needs a patient family ready to help on his journey.
Also! He is a visible roan, and so can never be bred (though guinea pigs shouldn't be in general for numerous reasons) because he carries a gene that can produce a blind, deaf, possibly toothless pig called a "lethal" who will likely not make it a day or two, and if they do they will be dependent on their human for survival. ANY pig can carry this gene.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
