A guinea pig called Sooty had a night to remember after escaping from his pen and tunneling into a cage of 24 females. He romanced each of them in turn and yesterday was the proud father of 43 offspring. Staff at Little Friends Farm in Pontypridd, South Wales, have since secured Sooty's pen and begun looking for homes for the guinea pigs.
His owner, Carol Feehan, said, "I'm sure a lot of men will be envious of Sooty's abilities. We knew he had gone missing after wiggling through the bars of his cage. We looked for him everywhere but never thought of checking the pen where we kept 24 females. We did a head count and found 25 guinea pigs. Sooty was sound asleep in the corner. He was absolutely exhausted. We put him back in his cage and he slept for two days."
