Shamrock — Petraits Rescue
Shamrock is a gorgeous six-month-old, black and white male crowned guinea pig looking for loving guardian.
This little guy is fun, but he got his sister pregnant so he was given up to rescue. I don’t know if the family knew they had a male and female.
So we know he gets along with female pigs but we don’t know about other males.
Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy hay and (or Orchard hay – better if you have allergies), limited pellets, and fresh greens including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, etc. And, since guinea pigs can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, he needs daily red pepper or Vitamin C tablets.
Please read up on guinea pig care and diet before adopting by visiting this excellent web site http://www.guinealynx.info/.
He needs a loving family who will handle him daily, keep him well fed, and keep his habitat nice and clean.
If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting Shamrock, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com.
He is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
His adoption fee of $30 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue.
For an additional $50, we’ll include a starter kit of everything you need to care for him including a small 18” x 28” cage, hay, litter, food, hidey hut and water bottle. If you’d like a larger cage, 17” x 40”, that is available for $75.
