* Grampa and Captain Jack found their forever home together with a lovely family! Yay! *

Grampa and Captain Jack were surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services by their owner because they were no longer able to care for them. They had a short stay at HAS before we were able to get them out of the shelter and into a loving foster home.
Grampa and Captain Jack had a health check at the vet and they were neutered. Now that they’re healed from their surgery, they’re ready to find their forever home! We’re asking that Grampa and Captain Jack be adopted together.
Here’s a report from their foster home:
“Grampa and Captain Jack are two remarkably adorable guinea pigs. They get along well both with each other and with humans. They are occasionally vocal, something that never fails to crack me up. They enjoy Timothy hay immensely, as well as apple, and lettuce. They sleep for a good part of the day, but when they aren’t, they enjoy chewing on wood, eating (of course) and talking to each other. Captain Jack enjoys being pet, whereas Grampa, with his wiry hair, is a little more skittish, and would prefer you express your love through treats.”

Guinea pigs need much more room than the typical pet store guinea pig cages offer. Here are some websites that have great examples of the type of cages pigs can live happily in, so that they have lots of room to move around and explore:
