We own two female(?) guinea pigs (Dora and Boots). We’ve had them since the end of last year, but a couple of months ago Dora ‘went on holiday’ and came back from the pet shop with a slightly different coat on. At the time of Dora’s holiday we asked the pet shop to ensure that Dora was a female.
On Thursday I went to their cage and discovered a baby guinea pig in the cage (we’ve christened him ‘Tico’).
A friend of ours (Bob), suggested that we take a more liberal attitude towards the situation and that there was nothing wrong with lesbian adoption. Given that I’ve seen no paperwork being exchanged by our guinea pigs and guinea pig social services we suspect that a more likely explanation is that Dora (henceforth known as Dora/Diego) is in fact a dad.
Tico is very cute, but we need to do something about the situation before he is joined by other off-spring and we become overrun by rodents.
Tico!

I am just surprised you only had one!!
They say that in south america these animals are bred for eating. I bet they taste very good, bit like rabbit.
