Jackson - Male Guinea Pig (Novato, CA)

Jackson - Male Guinea Pig

Jackson and Timothy are bonded and must be adopted together. Their last family had very little time for them so they are slowly getting used to handling. They are both sweet and with more attention will be easier to handle. They do enjoy being on laps for petting. Their cage needs to be at two feet by three feet or bigger. They will require a yearly vet exam and nail trimming about every 4-6 months. There should be two hiding boxes..one for each in their cage. GP s enjoy chewing on wicker and wooden toys blocks that you can get at pet stores. They also like to chew on toilet paper rolls that can also be stuffed with hay. They do not need treats or salt licks.They will need time outside of their cage every day (inside of course). They need to stretch but more importantly they need to get out for mental stimulation. Find a safe area in your home where they can t get caught behind something or crawl into a small space..like a long hallway or a small bathroom. Put some towels down in case they potty and it ll help with traction.They should be picked up with both hands because they have very delicate spines and bodies. If not held properly or dropped they can easily be injured.Their cage should not be placed near heat or drafts. It must be cleaned every 2-3 days so they stay healthy and it won t get smelly.
