Romeo rodent goes online

Sooty's fame has spread far and wide

An amorous guinea pig who found fame after enjoying a night of passion with 24 females at a South Wales farm now has his own website.

Sooty wooed the lady guinea pigs at the Little Friends Farm in Hopkinstown, Pontypridd, after fooling his way into their cage.

He became the proud father of 42 baby guinea pigs from his two nights of passion.

The romeo rodent's owners have created his website, and he has also appeared on Japanese television and been awarded life-long membership of London's Stringfellows nightclub.

Sooty had two nights of passion

Sooty is also rumoured to be considering an advertising deal with a pet food supplier.

Park owner Carol Feehan, 42, said: "I'm sure a lot of men will be looking at Sooty with envy.

"We knew that Sooty had gone missing and we looked for him everywhere but never thought of checking the pen where we keep the females.

"He was absolutely shattered - we put him back in his cage and he slept for two days."

Sooty now has his own website

Staff at the farm park tourist attraction suspected Sooty might have struck lucky, but it was not until 10 weeks later that his night of passion started bearing fruit.

The farm park - which is closed for the winter - was faced with the task of trying to find homes for Sooty's brood of babies.

After an appeal was shown on BBC Wales, homes were found for all 43 baby guinea pigs within half an hour.
