Jenga and Herman are adorable, easy-going, gentle four-year-old, bonded male guinea pigs looking for a loving guardian together.
These boys came to Friends of Petraits Rescue when their human didn’t feel like she had the time to care for them any longer.
Jenga is a neutered tri-colored Abyssinian guinea pig; Herman is a blond teddy bear guinea pig.
Jenga had been used as a young pig for training exercises so he was very accustomed to being handled and even knows some commands. Herman tries to maintain his dominance as an un-neutered male and occasionally humps poor easy-going Jenga.
These boys are large, sweet and easy companions.
Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays; a handful of guinea pig pellets, and fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Guinea pigs, similar to humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, so they need to supplement their diet with red pepper and many other vitamin C-rich foods. They love their fresh foods.
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, their nails trimmed, and their habitat nice and clean.
If you’re interested in possibly adopting Jenga and Herman, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/guinea-pig-adoption-application/.
They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
Their adoption fee of $70 as a pair benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $75, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for them including a large cage, pellets, hay, hidey huts and water bottle.
And, yes … Friends of Petraits is handling masked, minimum contact, socially distant adoptions.
