Meet Missy
Missy is an older guinea pig who can be shy and nervous around new people at first, but once she has had time to adjust can be very friendly. She likes to chew on cardboard and toys, and lived with many guinea pigs in her previous home. She is currently living with her sisters, and would ideally go home with one (or more) of her sisters, but can also go home to an existing female companion as well. Adopters should plan to slowly introduce her to the home and the people in it.
Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!
