Pets in need of homes

Geronimo — Petraits Rescue

Geronimo is handsome tri-color smooth-coat male guinea pig looking for a loving guardian.

Geronimo was purchased as a baby and put in a cage with an older female who he mated with resulting in two litters before all eight guinea pigs were given up to Friends of Petraits.

If you notice the little smirk on his face, Geronimo is a funny personable and talkative guy who is enjoyable to spend time with. Since he’s always lived with females, we don’t know how he’d do with other male pigs. But, he’d probably be happy to chat with another pig through their cages while they get to know each other.

He deserves a loving environment and wonderful care. Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited timothy and/or orchard hay (which is better for those with allergies), limited pellets, and fresh vegetables including romaine, parsley, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, red peppers for vitamin C, etc. Guinea pigs are one of the few animals (like humans) who don’t manufacture their own vitamin C and require vitamin C treats or a slice of red pepper daily.

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

He would love a home with people who will handle him daily, keep him well fed, and keep his habitat nice and clean.

If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting Geronimo please contact [email protected].

He is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

His adoption fee of $30 benefits the friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $50, we’ll include a starter kit of everything you need to care for them including food, cage, hay, litter, hidey hut and water bottle.
