My story

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

Peanut Butter is an adorable six-month-old, blonde neutered male guinea pig looking for a loving guardian.

He is thriving in his own habitat but loves chatting with the other pigs in other cages. So, he may really enjoy the companionship of another guinea pig – male or female, now that he is neutered!

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays; a handful of guinea pig pellets, and fresh vegetables including red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, kale, cucumbers, carrots with tops, tomatoes, etc. Guinea pigs, just like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, so they need to supplement with a one-inch square of red bell pepper and many other vitamin C-rich foods. He enjoys munching on his salads and hay and makes all sorts of happy wheeks and whistles when he hears his food coming.

Please read up on guinea pig care and diet before adopting by visiting this excellent web site http://www.guinealynx.info/
He would love a home with people 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 Peanut Butter, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/guinea-pig-adoption-application/ and follow up by e-mailing freindsofpetraits@gmail.com to make an appointment to meet him.

His adoption fee of $60 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $75, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for him including a large cage, litter, pellets, hay, hidey hut and water bottle.

He is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
