Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: rabbit - no direct contact but can hear and smell him, doesn't react; guinea pig in other room - no direct contact, wheeks back and forth with her around dinnertime; cat - indifferent
Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Elsa does not have contact with children in her foster home. She did have contact with children in her intake foster home, and enjoyed being held and petted by them.
Health concerns: Elsa is currently being treated for bumblefoot.
Behavioral concerns: None
Other notes: Elsa is a Peruvian guinea pig, which means she has long, continually growing fur that will need regular brushing, trimming, and general maintenance to stay clean and allow her to move around unhindered by her hair.
Elsa was returned to MNPPR after her family could no longer provide care or provide a buddy for her after her cage mate passed away.

Fee: Theresa & Elsa will have a combined adoption fee of $60
