My story

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

Streaky and Freckles are a pair of adorable six-month-old tri-color guinea pig sisters looking for a loving guardian together.

They get along well together and love fresh foods and squeaking and wheeking together.

They will need daily handling to continue their progress in sociability.

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays; a handful of guinea pig pellets, and 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 many other vitamin C-rich foods. They are huge eaters and enjoy their fresh foods and looks forward to their daily salads. They whistle, wheek and squeal when they hear their food coming.

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, and keep their habitat nice and clean.

If you’re interested in possibly adopting Streaky and Freckles, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/guinea-pig-adoption-application/

They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Their adoption fee of $60 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, litter, pellets, hay, hidey hut and water bottle.

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