Chicago, IL – Adopt Jelly the Young Neutered Male Guinea Pig
Jelly is an adorable six-month-old, chocolate and caramel-colored, neutered male crested guinea pig looking for a loving guardian.
Jelly has been neutered and is thriving in his own habitat. He loves chatting with the other pigs through the bars of his cage. He may enjoy the companionship of another guinea pig. And, now that he’s neutered, he can live with a male or female!
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, cucumbers, carrots, 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 his fresh foods and looks forward to his daily salads.
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 possibly adopting Jelly, 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.
He is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
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.
