Omera is an adorable, talkative, active and fun, one-month-old, female guinea pig looking for a loving guardian.

Tiny little Omera came to Friends of Petraits Rescue when her human dropped her off at Chicago Animal Care and Control as part of an unwanted litter. She is the only female and would LOVE a home with a neutered male or another female guinea pig. She would be very lonely living as the only guinea pig in the home.

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, 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. She loves her fresh 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 Omera, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/guinea-pig-adoption-application/.

She is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Her adoption fee of $60 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $75, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for her including a large cage, litter, pellets, hay, hidey hut and water bottle.

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