Piggy best friends
I have a guinea pig named Bon, and him and i have bonded since day one. my very old guinea pig had passed away and we wanted to get another one to accompany our other boar, snickers. we checked shelters around us and no guinea pigs were there, and there was only one guinea pig in our area, one at petsmart who had been there for two months without finding an owner. we went there and i held him and fed him a carrot i had brought, and immediately we seemed to bond. i brought him home and he was so incredibly lovey to me. back to today, i hold him multiple times a day and he snuggles up underneath my neck and pancakes, and licks my face. does anyone else have a really affectionate piggy? do share!

You might check Petfinder next time you want to adopt. I don't know how far Boston is from you, but there are several shelters in the metropolitan area that always seem to have a number of guinea pigs available:

Are piggies are friendly enough but not that friendly. They aren't so keen on being picked up and snuggling but a couple of them will tolerate being petted and stroked. Our Boar used to get kind of exited when I swept up his cage popcorning and licking and nibbling my hands although he hasn't done that since he got snipped on Tuesday.
3 out of my 4 boars are very affectionate. It's down to 2 out of the 3 since I lost Scruffy. Mr Bubbles likes to snuggle under my chin. He licks my face and nibbles on my beard. Dean stretches out on me and lays his head down kind of like a dog would. Sammy is a runner, but sometimes he calms down enough to snuggle under my chin or against my arm.
