Winston and Toby | Heartbound Guinea Pig Rescue & Sanctuary

Toby and Winston are a charming 3.5-year-old bonded boar pair who balance each other out in the sweetest way.

Their story

Toby Age: 3.5 years old Breed / Coat: Abyssinian (Himalayan markings) Sex: Male (Intact Boar) Status: Bonded to Winston (Must be adopted together) Toby is the adventurous spokesperson of this charming duo. With his stylish Abyssinian rosettes and handsome dark Himalayan points, he brings plenty of spunk to the cage. While his brother takes a little time to observe from behind a fleece hideout, Toby is right at the front, ready to inspect hands, lead the search for fresh hay, and lobby for leafy greens. He’s bold, curious, and acts as the steady guide for his gentler brother. Winston Age: 3.5 years old Breed / Coat: Long-Haired (Pure White) Sex: Male (Intact Boar) Status: Bonded to Toby (Must be adopted together) Winston is a delicate, snowy cloud of a pig with a gentle, tender heart. He leans on the shy side and appreciates a calm, predictable approach rather than quick surprises. Once he’s safely settled in a lap with a cozy cuddle sack—or feeling secure next to Toby—he relaxes completely. His gorgeous flowing coat will require regular brushing, sanitary trims, and a dedicated routine to keep him comfortable, making him perfect for someone who loves slow, soothing grooming sessions.

Care notes

Their Bond & Setup Needs The Dynamic: A classic "brave leader and gentle shadow" pair. Winston draws confidence from Toby's bold nature, and the two are deeply bonded companions who must remain together. Housing: They are accustomed to a spacious C&C enclosure. They will need a minimum of 10–12 square feet (such as a 2x4 grid setup or larger) on clean fleece bedding to keep Winston’s long coat pristine. Diet & Care: Raised on quality timothy hay, twice-daily fresh greens, and daily Oxbow vitamin C tabs. Ready to welcome this sweet gentleman duo?
