That's the way to do it!! (Long)

For those that didn't see it, I read this
great story in the paper this morning. Just
had to post it, sorry!

After his exertions of the night before, it
was hardly surprising that Sooty the guinea
pig was found fast asleep in the morning.

In fact, he didn’t manage to stir himself
for two days.

It was a feat that would have left any red-
blooded male shattered.

Sooty had escaped from his cage at the
Little Friends’ Farm and made the most of
his freedom by tunnelling into an enclosure
containing 24 willing females.

By the time he was found curled up next to
his conquests the next morning, every one of
the females was pregnant.

Ten weeks on, Sooty’s clean sweep has left
him the father of an astonishing brood of 43.

Carol Feehan, 42, who runs the tourist
attraction in Pontypridd, South Wales,
said: ‘I’m sure a lot of men will be looking
at Sooty with envy.

‘We discovered that he had gone missing
after wriggling out of his cage.

‘We looked for him everywhere but never
thought of checking the pen where we keep 24
females.

‘We did a head count and found 25 guinea
pigs – Sooty was fast asleep in the corner.

‘He was absolutely shattered – we put him
back in his cage and he slept for two days.
He made a right little pig of himself and he
certainly had a night to remember.’

The males are kept in separated enclosures
because they tend to fight, while the
females manage to live happily together.

Seizing his moment with the staff out of the
way, three-year-old Sooty burrowed under the
chicken wire around his 3ft square cage.

He crossed the farm park’s garden and got
into the female enclosure, which is about
ten yards away and measures 15ft by 10ft.

The tourist attraction, which is closed for
the winter, is now trying to find homes for
the unexpected arrivals in time for
Christmas.

Mrs Feehan said: ‘Sooty has landed us with a
baby boom. We’ve now got an extra 43 mouths
to feed and can’t cope with them for long.

‘They make excellent pets but I just hope
the males aren’t as virile as their dad.’

Sooty is now facing a life of enforced
abstinence after staff sealed up all the
holes in his enclosure to stop him getting
out again.

By coincidence, Pontypridd is also the home
town of Tom Jones, another sex symbol who
has no problem attracting the ladies.

‘If you ask me there’s a bit of Tom Jones
about our Sooty,’ said Mrs Feehan. ‘Perhaps
the green grass of home has made him so
virile.

‘I still can’t believe he managed to
impregnate every female in the pen – he must
have enormous stamina.’
