Mops I got Mops when he was about two years old. His previous owner developed bad allergies, so he lived for a while in my breeder's house until I got him. I guess one can say he was my first rescue pig.

He was the second partner of Pummel.

Mops was pretty big, and had two long curls behind his ears. His hair was not long and not short, something in between. That made him look special. When he moved in, he wasn't in such a great shape, so he didn't really move around a lot (he wasn't used to it). But after a while he really likes the freedom and he even started to popcorn around.

He never had major health problems until he got cancer. It started with paralyzed legs. After treatment for neural problems for a couple of weeks he developed a huge tumor in a very short time. That was horrible. Now he is in guinea pig heaven, without any pain.

If you like this pig, maybe you'd like to get some unique gift items. Feel free to check out the stores featuring Mops: Knoeddelmeister's Guinea Pig Store - Mops and Knoeddelmeister's Guinea Pig Store - Mops 2.
