I am so excited Grin! We're getting 2 baby boys - one's totally blind bless him. They're fab - one's a swiss and the other's a teddy so both look like they've been plugged into the mains Grin. I've just been and bought an enormous luxury hutch for them, and a massive outdoor run is on it's way...pet shopping is just so much fun! I got a food bowl that says "guinea pig" on it - do you think I should write it in braille too for the blind one? Grin

They're here! We actually came away with 3 - the breeder had a teeny tiny little runt from a litter of 6 who just hasn't grown. His brothers and sisters have all left for their new homes but he's the same size as a newborn but 6 weeks old Sad. I've put a pic of Blind Bernard, Brian and Barry the Runt on my profile Smile.

Gorgeous piggies.
Pay really close attention to the little one. When they get older the big ones are very likely to bully him.

Very cute! Nice of you to take the blind one and the "runt" / not everybody would have done that. Have fun!
