Please don't
BUY while shelter pets are waiting. ADOPT your guinea pig instead!
Healthy and Lovable. Most
guinea pigs at the rescue are given up just because children are tired of them, and they
are perfectly healthy and well adjusted!
(Of course, if your heart is for
special needs piggies, we have those too.)
About Guinea Pigs.
Guinea
pigs live 5 to 7 years on average, so please consider this when adopting. We have babies,
young and senior guinea pigs
available for adoption.
Guinea pigs are happiest not living alone, and they form
a close bond with their cagemate. Please adopt a
friend for the guinea pig you already have, or a lovable bonded pair from our
wonderful choices at left. (Don't worry, caring for two or three guinea pigs in one cage is
really no extra work.)
Before you bring your guinea pigs home, put together an inexpensive
and properly-sized cage that's large enough for them. You'll
want to provide safe bedding (aspen or Carefresh), Timothy hay
and pellets,
fresh raw vegetables, and clean water. Look out for
POISONOUS
veggies and bedding! And
just like us, your guinea pigs may need to see the doctor sometimes.
