Favorite treats: Likes hay-based treats and most fresh veggies and fruits
Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food, Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food, Fruit, Veggies, Leafy Greens, Western Timothy Hay
Favorite toys and activities: Hot Sauce loves to sleep in a big pile of hay, and enjoys pushing around a treat ball
Potty trained: No
This animal’s daily routine: The typical routine is pellets right away in the morning, then attention, free-roam time and veggies in the evening.
BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Hot Sauce and Guacamole are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.
Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: None
Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? None
Health concerns: Hot Sauce has a cataract in his left eye, and some surface level spots on both eyes, so his vision is limited. These things do not cause him discomfort, and he gets around pretty well despite having less-than-ideal vision.
Due to his reduce vision, Hot Sauce is sometimes easily startled. I like to rub my fingers together in front of him so he can tell that I am near him without scaring him. He is a sweet little guy, and the loudest wheeker I have ever met! His bonded cage mate, Guacamole, sometimes picks on him by stealing his treats (often right out of his mouth) or pushing him out of a shared food bowl. Using two separate food bowls helps with this a lot.
Behavioral concerns: None
Hot Sauce & Guacamole came to MNPPR when their previous owner was no longer able to provide attention.
Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Petsmart - 1297 Promenade Pl #2a, Eagan, MN 55121 for meet & greets, & adoptions.
Fee: Hot Sauce & Guacamole have a combined adoption fee of $60
We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.
