LISTING REMOVED Silver Spring, MD: Two male guinea pigs being rehomed due to moving. They get along well, so can be adopted together (
GUINEA PIG LESSON: adopt them together! Bonded pairs who are separated can suffer severe depression leading to weight loss, anorexia, and even death). They're cuddle bugs who love hay, carrots, and oranges. They better love hay!
GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs need high quality hay (oxbow, kleenmama's) in unlimited quality all day in order to wear down their constantly growing teeth and aid their digestive processes. Carrots and oranges should only be given as occasional treats.
Proper Diet.
* AAGP recommends quarantining
any new guinea pigsfor 2-3 weeks and
confirming the sex yourself.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
