My story

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

Hi! My name is Ziggy and this is my lady friend Raya.

A couple of months ago I was neutered, I met Raya and it was love at first sight. She is so funny and pretty and within 20 minutes of meeting her the nice ladies at the rescue saw me popcorn for the first time!

I am about a year and a half old, and Raya is maybe 6 months old (as of March 2024)

I am an Abyssinian guinea pig (brown and white) and Raya is a Teddy (black). Teddy guinea pigs are so soft and they have curly little whiskers. They can get dry skin so they need to be brushed and bathed from time to time. Especially as they get older.

They need a home without small children and preferably with adopters who have experience with guinea pigs. Because of Raya's special breed, she needs a little extra specialized care.

Ziggy will let you pet him inside of the cage and LOVES cuddling. Raya likes cuddle time too although Ziggy likes it more.

All of our piggies are fostered in LA, OC and Ventura Counties so please message us if you would like to meet any of them.
