* Starsky and Hutch found their forever home together with a lovely family! *

We rescued Starsky and Hutch from a shelter in Quebec. Thank you Freedom Drivers volunteers for getting the pigs to us safely!

Starsky and Hutch are a lovely pair of piggies. Starsky is more accepting of pats and handling than Hutch, but they’re both very friendly.
At their visit with Dr. Davis at Virgil Animal Hospital, it was noted that Hutch is in the beginning stages of a condition called impaction, which is somewhat akin to constipation. You can read more about the condition here. Dr. Davis cleared out Hutch’s bum, and let us know that his affliction isn’t too serious at the moment, but that he should have regular vet checks, and his adopter should be prepared to have to clean out Hutch’s bum daily if it comes to that. Otherwise, Starsky and Hutch are healthy, happy and ready to find their forever home!
They need to be adopted as a pair.

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:
