Guinea Pigs

Guinea Pigs
Hallo, yup I am a guinea pig and yup, we have about 20 of us at the Sanctuary. A petshop was throwing us out because they couldn't sell us and after all that time in the pet shop, we had scabies and were covered in ringworms. Yup, hairless mangy guinea pigs, can you imagine? We were a sight, I tell you. So, Raymund took us in. His heart can't help it. We would all have been thrown out into the trash and become food for the rats.


We are as cute as they come. We whistle and we run around, and unlike hamsters or gerbils, we like to live with our own. We actually get depressed when we are isolated. Come down and come see us. We are not shy and we actually sniff at your fingers without biting them :). Right now, it is getting a little crowded. it would be great if you could help sponsor a new guinea pig-friendly enclosure for us, snake-proof of course, or if you sponsor one of us, we promise to share the food around. Scout's honour.
