Adopt a Guinea Pig (medium coat)
Bilbo & Cooper the Guinea Pig needs a home
Bilbo and Cooper are sweet but shy brothers who were part of a group of 12 guinea pigs rescued from a cockfighting ring. The neutered boys are about 6 to 8 months old. They were the oldest in the group and likely were next up to be used for bait. They are very healthy and love interacting with people, despite all they have been through.
Bilbo is a black crested piggie with a tan stripe. He is very curious and is the bolder of the two boys. He will take food from your hand and allow the occasional cheek or head scratch. Bilbo loves lap time and enjoys his cuddles. Cooper, who orange and tan, is quite shy although he is the louder wheeker of the two if he thinks you have a snack for him. He leans into while you hold him and makes little purring sounds. However, he gets spooked for no apparent reason and will suddenly and without warning try to jump off your lap in a state of panic so you always need to have a firm hand on him. Because of this, he would not be the right piggie for a younger child.
Bilbo and Cooper have an excellent appetite for their Oxbow pellets and Timothy hay, and they enjoy a variety of fresh vegetables. The boys love to eat and they have yet to meet a veggie that they won’t try! Bilbo and Cooper will need to live in a Rescue-required Cubes and Coroplast cage of at least 2 cubes by 4 cubes located in a room the family spends time in so everyone can enjoy their company. We also ask that anyone adopting them lives a driving distance from Mt. Airy, MD.
The adoption fee for Bilbo and Cooper is $90 ($45 per neutered male). Are you interested in finding out more about adopting this lovable pair? Then please send an e-mail to [email protected]. NOTE: We respond to all inquiries so please check your Spam folder.
