Pets in need of homes
Campfire and Marshmallow — Petraits Rescue

Marshmallow and Campfire are a pair of adorable, fast and wiggly, three-week-old, male Abyssinian and Smooth coat guinea pig brothers looking for a loving guardian together.
These boys were born to a pregnant momma pig relinquished to the Friends of Petraits Rescue and beautifully socialized in a loving foster home.
Guinea pigs are happiest in pairs, and Campfire and Marshmallow have been together since birth.
Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays. They are currently eating young guinea pig pellets, and fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Guinea pigs, just like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, so they need to supplement with red pepper and many other vitamin C-rich foods.
Please read up on guinea pig care and diet before adopting by visiting this excellent web site http://www.guinealynx.info/.
The boys would love a home with people who will handle them daily, keep them well fed, and keep their habitat nice and clean.
If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting Campfire and Marshmallow, please contact [email protected] for an adoption application.
They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
Their adoption fee of $85 as a pair benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $100, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for them including a large cage, pellets, hay, litter, hidey hut, toys and water bottle.
And, yes … Friends of Petraits is handling masked, minimum contact, socially distant adoptions.
