My story

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

Jumpy is a handsome one-year-old, tricolor male crowned guinea pig looking for loving guardian.

This little colorful guy is fun, energetic and moves fast … thus the name Jumpy. We tried to introduce him to other guinea pigs but he doesn’t have any friends yet.

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy hay and (or Orchard hay - better if you have allergies), limited pellets, and fresh greens including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, etc. And, since guinea pigs, like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, he needs daily red pepper or Vitamin C tablets.

Please read up on guinea pig care and diet before adopting by visiting this excellent web site http://www.guinealynx.info/

He needs extra socialization, so he will do best without small children and with someone who will handle him daily, keep him well fed, and keep his habitat nice and clean.

If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting Jumpy, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com

He is being fostered in Naperville, Illinois.

His adoption fee of $30 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue.
