My story

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

Oreo and Hershey are an adorable pair of fun, wiggly, and handleable nine-month-old, male guinea pig brothers looking for a loving guardian.

These boys were turned into Friends of Petraits Rescue when their humans said they found new hobbies that kept them from having enough time for their pets.

Guinea pigs are happiest in pairs, and these boys love each other and get along beautifully.

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays; fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Guinea pigs, just like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, so they need to supplement with red pepper and other vitamin C-rich foods.

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

They would love a home with people who will handle them daily, keep them well fed, their nails trimmed, and keep their habitat nice and clean.

If you’re interested in possibly adopting Hershey and Oreo, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com for an adoption application.

They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Their adoption fee of $35 each benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $75, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for them including a large cage, pellets, hay, litter, hidey huts and water bottle.

And, yes … Friends of Petraits is handling masked, minimum contact, socially distant adoptions.
