How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by their previous owner.
Why this pet is the one for you:
Say hello to Pauly! Guinea pigs are small, silly furry potato-like creatures that live on a diet of grass and vegetables. Guinea pigs are herd animals, meaning they usually live in large groups! Pauly and his bestie Apple (900654) are looking for their new home! Apple and Pauly will need to share an enclosure that is no less than 47"x24"- but more space is always better. Because they are prey animals, most guinea pigs may be nervous about being picked up. But once a guinea pig builds a relationship with their people, they enjoy snuggling in their adopter's laps for pets! TIP: the way to a guinea pigs heart is through their stomach with treats (did someone say cilantro?!)! They can be big talkers and will express how they are feeling with different sounds - be sure to listen, to get an idea of what they are telling you!
