Adopt a Guinea Pig (medium coat)
SQUEAK the Guinea Pig needs a home
Meet Squeak!
Squeak is a sweet guinea pig who is bonded with Pip - they would like to go home together! They would love to go to a quiet home with a family that is going to give them time to warm up to them. They are a little shy and not used to being handled, so guinea pig savy kids would be ideal.
We''ll need to see a picture of the guinea pig habitat that Squeak will live in. She''ll need a large enough enclosure to give them space to move around. At minimum a single guinea pig should have 2 feet by 4 feet of floor space. And to add to it, provide lofts with ramps for added space. Make sure the floor of the cage is covered if its a wire-bottom cage. Guinea pigs need grain, hay and fresh fruits/veggies every day. They need a secure hiding house, (you can use a store bought plastic one or a cardboard box), litter box with soft bedding, and plenty of enrichment and toys. Never give rubber or soft plastic to guinea pigs. Only give them safe to chew wood items or various cardboard items from around the house, (toilet paper rolls, paper bags, etc). They also need gentle handling to help them get used to people. There are many ways to design a guinea pig enclosure and if you want ideas, feel free to visit and have a staff member walk you through it.
