Rex is an almost 3 month old male Teddy guinea pig! He is looking for a home along with his brother Cody. They are on the shyer side, but being so young there is still a high potential for them to become more hand friendly if their adopter dedicates small amounts of time throughout their day to socializing them.
Guinea Pigs have a vegan diet that consists mainly of high quality Timothy Hay, supplemented with 1/8 cup of hay-based pellets per day. Guinea Pigs also need 1 cup of fresh veggies every day, including things like romaine, green & red leaf lettuce, escarole, parsley, dill, and bell peppers. They also need additional Vitamin C supplements because they do not create their own-just like us!
Guinea Pigs are social animals and should be kept with or near at least one other guinea pig of the same sex. They should be kept in a solid base cage, with a minimum size of 7.5 square feet-approximately 2ft x 4ft, with room for food, water, enrichment, and places to hide.
Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in this pet, please review our adoption process at www.lowellhumanesociety.org/adoption/#process so you're prepared to adopt & stop by the shelter with the required information to take home this pet.

For the health and safety of the pet you are interested in adopting and your existing pets, we ask that you provide proof of current vaccinations and spay/neuter status for pets in your home. (We may be able to call your veterinarian if you do not have a copy available.)
A new pet is a family decision and we ask that all members of your family meet the pet and agree on the suitability for your household.
