I was at Nex for the 3rd time and this time I went there to catch a movie "Meet the Parents: Little Fockers". But that is not the topic of this post.I checked out the newly opened Pet Safari and lo and behold, they have an albino hairless guinea pig on sale! The poor thing was labeled as 'skinless pig' but a pig it is not. I feel it is one thing to be albino for a pet animal because albino hamsters always look adorable with their blood red eyes. But it is strange to be hairless for a mammal.
As I was snapping photos of this beautiful creature, yes it looks so fragile, beautiful and was staring back at me that I felt like cuddling it in my arms, I heard different views of the animal. Some love it and some loathe it. I hope whoever buys it would love and look after it very well.
Some links are shown here and I find the 2nd link to be endearing:
Then there is the equally adorable but very furry Angora Rabbit, that is on the opposite end of the scale for hair possession. A link is shown below:
For those who wants to rush out to get a pet for the new year, please think twice as it is a huge lifelong responsibility that goes with it, at least for the lifetime of the animal. Responsible ownership is the key to having a meaningful relationship between the pet and the owner.
