My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Mochi and Cocoa were brought in by their previous owner on January 9, 2026.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Mochi (#960340) and Cocoa (#950885), a delightful duo of guinea pig best friends who are looking for their new home together! These two gals are absolutely inseparable, sharing a bond that is as sweet as their names. Whether they are snuggling up for a nap or exploring their surroundings, you will rarely find one without the other. Because they rely so much on each other's company for comfort and happiness, they are a package deal and must be adopted as a pair to ensure they continue to thrive. To keep these ladies feeling their best, they require a diet rich in high-quality timothy hay and fresh, dark leafy vegetables. Most importantly, Mochi and Cocoa need their daily dose of Vitamin C to stay healthy and vibrant-this is a non-negotiable part of their care routine! They love snacking on Vitamin C-rich treats like bell peppers (especially red and yellow), parsley, and juicy orange slices. Beyond their nutritional needs, they are looking for a home that understands guinea pigs need plenty of room to move. Forget those small hamster cages or cramped enclosures; these girls are high-energy zoomers who need a spacious, open area where they can run, popcorn, and show off their "zoom zoom" speed. When it comes time to head to their new home, Mochi and Cocoa have some specific travel preferences to ensure they arrive safely and stress-free. They are looking for a family that will come prepared with a sturdy, secure pet carrier. Please leave the flimsy cardboard boxes at home, as these sophisticated ladies require a safe and solid transport for their big moving day. If you have the space, the veggies, and a heart big enough for two, Mochi and Cocoa are ready to bring a double dose of joy into your life.
