Xander is the first guinea pig that we got and he's the most
special (even though you're not meant to have favorites). He's really
friendly and loves meeting new people and will always allow strangers to
pet him. He loves having trips out in the car, any fruit and vegetables he
can get and getting shoulder rubs. Xander has been sick a lot so he has a
very special place in our heart. He has a problem with allergies and often
has a crackly chest and problems breathing. It took a long time to figure
out what was causing this and despite all those vet trips, he still loves
people and never developed a fear of them. He also had a really serious
abscess when he was about a year old and he was rushed to the emergency
vet. We were told that if we had waited till the next day he would have
died. He also has very sensitive skin, because of his allergies, so he
needs a lot of extra love, which we are happy to give him. He has been
neutered and lives with four lovely ladies, but before his operation he
fathered a litter and so gave us three lovely pigs that are just as
good-looking as their dad.
We love Xander so much and we would love for him to be Pet of the Day. He
loves attention so we're sure he would be thrilled to get it :) !
