Fluffy is an adorable, one-year-old female Abyssinian guinea pig looking for a loving guardian.

Fluffy was turned into Friends of Petraits Rescue after being purchased at a pet store with a male pig. She soon gave birth to babies and separated from the males.

Guinea pigs are happiest in pairs, and we’d love to see Fluffy find another female guinea pig to bond with.

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays, pellets and although I’ve been offering fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, etc. She’s starting to nibble the greens that she’s unfamiliar with. 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/.

She would love a home with people who will handle her daily, keep her well fed, and keep her habitat nice and clean.

If you’re interested in possibly adopting Fluffy, please contact [email protected] for an adoption application.

She is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Her adoption fee of $35 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $100, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for her including a large cage, pellets, hay, litter, hidey hut and water bottle.

And, yes … Friends of Petraits is handling masked, minimum contact, socially distant adoptions.
