Chicago, IL – Adopt Kuro the Smooth-Coated Calico Guinea Pig
Kuro is a sweet, shy and handleable, two-year-old, male, calico smooth-coated guinea pig looking for a loving guardian.
This little boy is fairly quiet for a guinea pig, but I’m expecting as he becomes more comfortable the squeaks and chirps will come!
Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy hay, a small amount of pellets, and fresh greens and veggies including romaine, red leaf, green leaf, cilantro, parsley and bell peppers. Please read up on Guinea Pig care and diet before adopting, by visiting this excellent web site http://www.guinealynx.info/
Kuro lived with a family that thought they acquired same-sex guinea pigs. Turned out they took in a couple who had an unexpected litter. So, they were given up to rescue. Kuro was the daddy of the litter.
Kuro is healthy, vet-checked and enjoys being held, cuddled and pet. To meet and possibly adopt him, please contact me directly at sheri@petraits.com or 773-777-2891. He is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. His adoption fee of $20 benefits rescued pets.
If you need a complete starter kit including a cage, hidey hut, water bottle, pellets, litter, hay and everything you need to care for your piggie – that is available for $60.
