BINGO AND CUSTER: Bingo's morning routine consists of dragging his veggies into his pigloo to eat. He likes running through his tunnels, and towel tents are always a hit. Bingo is still getting used to cavy-savvy humans. Talking to the boys when approaching the cage or before coming around any corners/doorways is much appreciated. Bingo will reward you by settling down nicely for lap time. Custer was born into the rescue in October. Custer loves to play and wheek updates about his day. Custer likes to squint when he is happy and when extra excited he squints with both eyes. They are a great bonded pair for a family. (Orange County Cavy Haven)
