My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Willow is a super sweet and calm little girl. She is also quite stunning. She is a silkie, and has soft flowing white fur; but above each eye, she has a patch of light lilac. She loves to play with her cage mate and best friend, Sugar, but she also is just as happy to hang out in her igloo or under the hay bin. The one thing Willow loves above all else is to know what is going on around her; so at feeding time or when someone is passing by, she can be found at the front of her cage, trying to see what's going on. Willow and Sugar are bonded and must be adopted together.

Guinea pigs are social animals, and should always have a friend of their own kind. These wonderful little creatures live an average of 5 to 7 years, and I've even had them live up till they were 9 and 10 1/2. Children under the age of 12 should always be supervised by an adult when holding guinea pigs. They are also vegetarians. Among their favoriite veggies are Romaine, Parsley, Green leaf/Red leaf lettuce, Endive, Collard Greens, Kale, Tomatoes, Carrots (in moderation) and Green/Red/Yellow or Orange peppers, just to name a few.
