Oakley
* Owen and Oakely found their forever home with a wonderful family! Yay! *
Oakley and Owen ended up in a Quebec shelter as “strays.” They came to Ladybird from Quebec with the amazing help of the Freedom Drivers.
Shortly after their arrival, Owen and Oakley had a vet visit and were given a clean bill of health. The boys are now ready to find their forever home! We’re asking they be adopted together.
Owen and Oakley are super sweet pigs. They stand up on their tippy toes to see what you’re up to, and they run right over to anyone who comes into their room. They LOVE snacks. They haven’t turned their noses up at any fruit or veggie they’ve been offered as of yet. Their favourites are romaine lettuce, dandelion leaves, and carrot.
Their current cage is two Midwest Guinea Pig Habitats put together. We’re asking they go to a home where they can be offered at least this much cage space, or more. The bigger the better when it comes to housing of any animal!
Wondering if guinea pigs are the right pet for you?
Check out this video for some of the basics of guinea pig care.

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:
