Meringue
* Meringue found her forever home with amazing people and other pigs to be friends with! Yay! *
Mama M gave birth to two perfect babies on February 18th, 2025. Mousse and Meringue were the cutest siblings, and their mom did a great job raising them. At four weeks old, the little family had a vet visit, and they were all given a clean bill of health. Mousse was confirmed to be male, and Meringue female. After the appointment, Mousse was separated from his mom and sister, and we’re hoping he will find a forever home asap so he doesn’t have to be alone for too long.
Meringue has lots of energy, and can be found zooming around her enclosure at top speed. She loves his snuggle sack, and will have serious naps when she’s all tuckered out from all the zooming. Most times, she snuggles up with her mom for nap time. Meringue loves the daily leafy greens she is offered, and a favourite activity is hanging out in a timothy hay pile and munching the day away. Despite daily handling by her foster family, Meringue still has a bit of a skittish nature that she gets from her mom. She will come to the side of the enclosure, stand up on her hind legs and wheek loudly when she knows a treat is coming. She will now take treats from your hands if you’re gentle and slow with movement.
Meringue is available for adoption with her mom, or on her own, but there must be other female or neutered male guinea pigs in the home for her to be friends with
Wondering if guinea pigs are the right pet for you?

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