Amelia, Mia, Emma, Olivia and Isabella are a family of five female guinea pig family members looking for a loving guardian – together or as a partial family.

These girls get along really well and are fun to watch as they go about their family routines. They share and bicker over food, but as long as there is plenty of hay and greens, they get along just great. They range in age from six weeks to six months.

Obviously, a family that was overwhelmed by their breeding guinea pigs dropped them off at Chicago Animal Care and Control. And, from there, they landed at Friends of Petraits Rescue.

They eats a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays, limited pellets, and I offer them fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, tomatoes, oranges, cucumbers and cilantro, etc.

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

They would love a home with people who will handle them daily, keep them well fed, and keep their habitat nice and clean. They are wiggly, but allow me to easily trim their nails and hold them.

If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting any or all of these five, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com.

They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Their adoption fee of $35 each benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $100, we’ll include a kit of everything you need to care for them including food, large cage, hay, litter, hidey huts and water bottles.
