Spot is a handsome, tri-color smooth-coat, one-year-old, male guinea pig looking for loving guardian.

This boy was housed alone in a household full of guinea pigs where the males were not getting along. But with people, he is chill, sweet and easy to handle.

Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy hay (or Orchard hay if you have allergies), limited pellets, and fresh greens including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, etc. And, since guinea pigs, like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, guinea pigs need daily Vitamin C in the form of red pepper or Vitamin C tablets, etc.

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 a family 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 Spot, 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 him including cage, hay, litter, food, hidey hut and water bottle.
