About Wynken and Rolo

  • Status: Available for Adoption (adoption info)
  • Species: Guinea Pig
  • Current Age: 2 Years 4 Months (best estimate)
  • Reaction to New People: Friendly

Wynken and his brother Rolo are looking for a home. They hope to stay together as they have been a pair since they were very young. 

Wynken is adorable with a brown triangle on one side of his face. He's calm, friendly, and very curious.  He will run when you reach for him like many pigs do but once you have him he tolerates being held.  We are currently working with him daily to help him come out of his shell.

Rolo is an American Crested pig. He is a sweetheart though shy. He is pretty calm though a little jumpy when you reach for him- not unusual at all for a pig. He has a beautiful colored brindle patch on his right eye, a dot on his head and ear, and adorable "eyeliner" on his left eye. He has been waiting for a home all his life and while he loves foster care, he would love to have a last name of his own!

Both of these guinea pigs are *NEUTERED* 
Please adopt these wonderful boys today.

************

This guinea pig is looking for love and affection, but needs more than just a cage to live in.

Guinea pigs should never be kept alone, and our pigs are no exception. If you are not adopting as a companion for a pig or pigs at your home, you must adopt a pair or trio from our rescue so they will not be alone. These babies will not be adopted as a pet for children (though families who will share responsibility of the pet are acceptable), and must be kept indoors only.

Guinea pigs can live anywhere from 5 to sometimes 10 years or more if properly cared for. PLEASE make sure you are READY for a lifetime commitment for this animal before inquiring to adopt.

Guinea pigs need a daily diet of leafy greens and vegetables (this can be more pricey than the rest of the pigs' diet), with a premium quality pelleted food. We recommend Oxbow brand pellets. *Do NOT feed guinea pigs foods with corn or seeds added to the mix, this creates FAT and unhealthy pigs!* They also require unlimited timothy or timothy mixed hay, not alfalfa. We recommend C&C cages (www.guineapigcages.com) and can help you find supplies to build your own. To adopt one of our guinea pigs, you must already have a setup at the time of adoption OR allow us to help you find and build one for you. Adoption cannot be completed without a setup a the time of a home visit. These measures are taken strictly to ensure the best quality of life for our animals once they've been adopted.
