* Chip found his forever home with a wonderful person and other guinea pigs to be friends with! *

Chip ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a “stray.” He’s a cute and friendly little guy. Chip spent a few weeks at HAS before a foster home opened up and we were able to rescue him. We got him into the vet for a check-up, and he was given a clean bill of health. He settled in great at his foster home and now he’s ready to find his forever home! We are asking that he have another male, or spayed female pig in his forever home so he has a friend.

Wondering if a guinea pig is the right pet for you? Check out this website for some of the basics of guinea pig care. They’re not the simple “starter pet” they’ve been made out to be for many years…

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:
