My story

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

Meet Mochi! Guinea pigs are social animals, so while it's not required, it's a good idea to adopt in pairs! It is very important to do research on guinea pig care prior to adopting. They need proper housing, enrichment, and socialization. Adopters will also need access to an exotic vet in order to get proper guinea pig medical care and check-ups. If you are intrigued by Mochi, come on down to Anti-Cruelty and meet with her today!
