Meet Blueberry — The Quiet, Sneaky Gentleman of the Trio!
Looking for a calm, sweet, and gentle soul to round out your guinea pig family? Blueberry is your guy! This handsome little gentleman may be quieter than his chatty sisters, Raspberry and Strawberry, but he brings the perfect balance of mellow energy, cuddly charm, and sweet companionship.
Blueberry is the kind of pig who loves to observe the world from his cozy spot in the hay, enjoy a peaceful snuggle in your lap, and nibble on his favorite leafy greens with quiet contentment. He’s the rock of his trio — calm, grounded, and full of love to give.


Why You’ll Love Blueberry:
He’s the calm to the girls’ excitement — and every trio needs a steady, snuggly guy like Blueberry.

His gentle personality makes him perfect for first-time guinea pig families or anyone wanting a peaceful companion.

He bonds deeply with his people and his sisters — always nearby, always content.

Blueberry may not squeak, but his soft presence speaks volumes.

Estimated birth date: 05/01/2019

Personality: Brave, Cuddly, Curious, Energetic, Enjoys being held, Friendly toward humans, Readily allows you to pick it up, Smart, Sweet.

Favorite treats: pea flakes, oxbow treats, bell peppers.

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Senior Guinea Pig Food, Veggies, Leafy Greens, Western Timothy Hay, occasional fruit (apples, berries)

Favorite toys and activities: sitting on our lap, playing in his hay bin.

Potty trained: We have a hay box set up that they use a good portion of the time as a bathroom

This animal’s daily routine: pellets in the morning; lap time, floor time, and fresh veggies in the evening.

BFF: Blueberry, Strawberry, and Raspberry are a bonded trio 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? Yes, with time Blueberry has gotten very comfortable with all children in the household (ages 7-14).

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: None

Other notes: Blueberry is definitely the more dominant of the bonded trio. He is very friendly but you might see him try to be the first to get to the food, treats, or veggies and even push his sisters out of the way.

Blueberry, Raspberry, & Strawberry came to MNPPR when their owner became too ill to continue caring for them.

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 - 1640 New Brighton Blvd, MPLS MN 55413 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee:Blueberry, Raspberry, & Strawberry have a combined adoption fee of $85

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.

More about this rescue

MN Pocket Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, focusing on education and public outreach. Our intent is to keep all animals in their homes, with their families, whenever possible. We are committed to rescuing those pocket pets that are in jeopardy of being euthanized or are in danger of being abused, left unattended or in other types of vulnerable situations. We ensure all animals receive proper veterinary care, medication and special training for any behavioral issues, as well as to arrange safe, temporary homes for these animals until stable forever homes can be found. Our team is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who work passionately to serve the underrepresented and often misunderstood niche of pocket pets in the overall rescue community and general public.
