2 bonded, curious boys. 4 years old
Our Story
These boys are named Calico and Pip. They just turnt 4 in March. I have had them for about 6 months, and they are the sweetest things ever. We are still working on them being picked up, but once done they enjoy being he'd when you are sitting down. They love dried peas and carrots, but otherwise prefer fresh fruits and veggies. Their all-time favorite is kale, however they only get it at most once every two weeks to prevent calcium build up. Calico had a cyst on his side when I adopted him from a local rescue, but it has since been treated with antibiotics and drained, and has not made a return, thankfully. Their last vet visit was in late November/ early December. Their teeth are in perfect alignment, and they have no other health concerns. They are a bit bigger than other guinea pigs I have gotten to care for and meet, but not to drastically.
Rehoming because
I adopted these two in November. About a month after I had to do a last minute, unexpected career change and now I do not have the time to properly bond or take care of them. They deserve to be with someone who has the time and energy for them, more than I do now.Timing

Can you SHIP?
Sorry, NO. Please do not contact the owner and ask about shipping guinea pigs. It is NOT possible. Please look for guinea pigs LOCAL to you! That's what this site is for--helping you find a guinea pig close to home to adopt and love.
But I want THAT one!
Yes, that one is adorable and looks just like the one you must have for your very important reason or you will not be able to go on living. But, there are many more in your area that are just as wonderful. Perhaps they are not listed here, but they can be found. The piggy in need waiting for you near your own back yard might look a little different, but could melt your heart anyway!
