Pet of the Week: Meet a trio of guinea pigs looking for a new home – WWLP.com

(Mass Appeal) Its time for Mass Appeals pet of the week were introducing you to not one, not two, but three guinea pigs, ready to join your family. Lee Chambers from Dakin Humane Society introduces us to our Pets of the Week.

Name:Oreo, Peanut and Sabel to be adopted together

Breed: Guinea pigs

Age: 1 year (Oreo and Peanut) 2 years (Sabel)

Sex: Female (all)

Color: Black w/ white (Oreo), white w/brown (Peanut), white w/gray (Sabel)

Guinea pigs like us need a spacious habitat equipped with hiding and napping spots, things to climb on, safe wood to chew, and guinea pig toys. Our diet should consist of grass hay available at all times, with a small amount of timothy pellets. We dont naturally make our own vitamin C, so we must get it daily from our diet. Snacks like red pepper, kale, mustard greens, dandelion greens, and other leafy greens will do the job nicely! In fact, we love these snacks so much that we will call wheet, wheeeeet when we see you bringing us some! Our average lifespan is 5 to 7 years. If you are interested in more information, contact the adoption staff at springfield@dakinhumane.org and include your name and phone number.
