How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by their previous owner.
Why this pet is the one for you:
Say Hello to Ginny! You are going to have to say "Hi" whether you want to or not because Ginny will give you no choice! Mr. Social Pants loves greeting friends at the front of his enclosure and will stand with his hands on the glass waiting for you to say hi (please reference his profile picture)! Always ready for a snack, a sniff, or a head scratch, this social little piggy is looking for a new best friend...erm I mean owner (he may just think he owns you with all his personality). Guinea pigs are small, silly furry potato-like creatures that live on a diet of grass and vegetables. Guinea pigs are herd animals, meaning they usually live in large groups! At home, it is best for a guinea pig to have another guinea pig friend of the same sex. They can share an enclosure that is no less than 47"x24"- but more space is always better. Because they prey animals, most guinea pigs may be nervous about being picked up. But once a guinea pig builds a relationship with their people, they enjoy snuggling in their adopter's laps for pets! TIP: the way to a guinea pigs heart is through their stomach with treats (did someone say cilantro?!)! They can be big talkers and will express how they are feeling with different sounds - be sure to listen, to get an idea of what they are telling you!
