My story

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

Cleo and Marie are a pair of one-year-old talkative, sister tri-color Abyssinian guinea pigs looking for a loving guardian.

Cleo is mostly white, while her sister Marie is mostly black. They have always lived together in a tiny hamster cage. They were relinquished last night to Friends of Petraits Rescue when their human, a college student, moved to a no-pets apartment.

This adorable duo have not been handled much, so they are a bit skiddish at first. However, once you hold them in your arms, they are sweet and gentle. They eat unlimited timothy, orchard and botanical hays, two cups of fresh salad daily including cilantro, green, red leaf, and butter lettuce, spinach, parsley, and share a half cup of guinea pig pellets. Guinea pigs need daily vitamin C from fresh pellets, a 1-inch square of red pepper, or some of their dark leafy greens.

Please read up on guinea pig care and diet before adopting by visiting this excellent website http://www.guinealynx.info/

These girls would love a home with people who will handle them daily, keep them well-fed, nails trimmed, and keep their habitat nice and clean.

If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting Cleo and Marie, please fill out the adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/guinea-pig-adoption-application/ and follow up to make an appointment by contacting friendsofpetraits@gmail.com

Their adoption fee of $50 for the two guinea pigs benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue Group. For an additional $50, you can purchase their “upgraded” 2 foot by 4 foot Midwest guinea pig habitat and a starter kit of all the supplies you’ll need to care for them.

They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
