My story

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

MEET POTATO!

Potato and her cagemate Crouton are a bonded pair seeking their forever home together! Potato is 100% the boss pig in the relationship, and when she meets new piggies she likes to make it very clear that she`s in charge. This can be a bit intimidating for other piggie friend--so slow and steady is the name of the game if you`re planning to introduce these gals to an existing herd.

Like any pet, guinea pigs require a lot of care and attention. It is important to familiarize yourself with their daily and long-term needs before adopting a new pig. Since guinea pigs are prey animals, they`ll need a little extra time and patience adjusting to their surroundings before their unique personalities can truly shine! Guinea pigs are talkative and clever, and make wonderful companions when they`ve bonded with you!

In order to adopt, we will need to approve a photo of the enclosure Potato will be living in before you take them home.

Potato has been seen by our vet team.
