Mama M and her baby Moo were two of a group of guinea pigs surrendered to a Niagara area shelter by their owner because they had too many animals. Moo is approximately 8 weeks old, and poor Mama M is already pregnant again. We’re glad we could get these two out of the shelter and into a quiet foster home where Mama M can have her babies in peace.
Moo has to be the cutest baby guinea pig we’ve ever seen. Super adorable! These sweet girls are now settling in at their foster home and doing well so far. We hope Mama M’s pregnancy and delivery go smoothly and that mom and all the babies can find their forever homes when they’re ready.

Welcome to Ladybird, Mama M and Moo! We’re so happy you’re here!
