Pets in need of homes

Momma Spud and her daughters Popcorn and Nibbles — Petraits Rescue

Guinea Pig Momma Spud and her daughters Popcorn and Nibbles are a trio of lovely and sweet female guinea pigs looking for a loving guardian.

Momma is 20 months old and her daughters are about one year old. They get along so beautifully and enjoy sharing a huge cage and snuggling.

They are sweet, talkative and fun guinea pigs. They make adorable whistles, squeals, chirps, squeaks and purring noises-especially when they hear their food coming.

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays, limited pellets, and fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, etc. Guinea pigs, like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, so they need to supplement with red pepper or 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/.

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 great with children.

If you’re interested in possibly adopting Spud, Popcorn and Nibbles, please contact [email protected] to meet them.

They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Their adoption fee of $80 as a trio benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $50, we’ll include absolutely everything you need to care for them including a huge cage, food, hay, litter, hidey huts and water bottles.

And, yes … Friends of Petraits can handle contact-less/socially distant adoptions during this pandemic.
