My story

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

Our adoption process can be found on our website here:
https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process

Estimated birth date: Unknown Adult

Personality: Cuddly, Hesitant, Nervous, Quiet, Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc)

Favorite treats: Cilantro

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food, Fruit, Veggies, Leafy Greens, Western Timothy & Orchard Mix

Favorite toys and activities: Chewing on cardboard toilet paper rolls

Potty trained: Does not use a litter box but only potties in cage

This animal’s daily routine: Fresh hay in morning fresh veggies in afternoon with floor time

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Tadpole, Hot Cocoa, & Mitzy are a bonded trio and must be adopted together.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Cat. No reaction

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? None

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: Mitzy, Hot Cocoa, & Tadpole are in MNPPR's trust training program for their nervousness and hesitation to interact with humans. Learn more about our trust training program at. https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/trust-training

Update 8/21: Working on being more comfortable with humans. She will run away but once she is being held is sweet and seems comfortable.

Other Notes: Working with treats to make her more comfortable. Is ok being held but still runs away when being picked up. She is very sweet and loves chin scratches.

Tadpole & Hot Cocoa made their way back to MNPPR along with their new friend Mitzy when their family was no longer able to provide proper care.

Due to our rescue being foster based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Roseville PetSmart - 2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: Tadpole, Hot Cocoa, & Mitzy have a combined adoption fee of $85

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.

Mitzy's care while in rescue has not yet been sponsored. If you would like to donate to provide veterinary care, food, bedding, and enrichment for Mitzy or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
