My story

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

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

Estimated birth date: 6/1/22

Personality: Edwin is a very talkative, cuddly piggie. Edwin love to lay down on the couch or in your lap and kick his back feet out and just relax with you. He will let you know when it is dinner time just in case you forgot or are busy doing something else.

Favorite treats: Oxbow Vitamin C tablets and Nature Salad

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

Favorite toys and activities: Loves free roam time

Potty trained: No

This animal’s daily routine: Breakfast, fresh hay at 7:30am, dinner at 7:30pm and fresh hay, pellets and supplements at 10pm.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): No, but needs a friend in adoptive home.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Cat, Dog - Did not seem to care. Bonding was previously attempted with another guinea pig but the other guinea pig was overly dominant.

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Yes - he was great with school-age children

Health concerns: Edwin has had an eye surgically removed before entering our care for an unknown reason.

Behavioral concerns: None

Edwin came to MNPPR as a transfer from another rescue.

Other Notes: He only has 1 eye but does everything a 2 eyed piggie does. Just need to make sure he hears you coming or he gets frightened. We always call out his name as we approach him so he can turn around to see us.

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 Petsmart - 299 12th St SW, Forest Lake, MN 55025 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: Edwin has an adoption fee of $35

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

Edwin'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 Edwin or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.

More about this rescue

MN Pocket Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, focusing on education and public outreach. Our intent is to keep all animals in their homes, with their families, whenever possible. We are committed to rescuing those pocket pets that are in jeopardy of being euthanized or are in danger of being abused, left unattended or in other types of vulnerable situations. We ensure all animals receive proper veterinary care, medication and special training for any behavioral issues, as well as to arrange safe, temporary homes for these animals until stable forever homes can be found. Our team is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who work passionately to serve the underrepresented and often misunderstood niche of pocket pets in the overall rescue community and general public.
