Name: Frodo
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Guinea Pig
Ref number: 2
Personality:
Frodo is a sweet boy who can be a little timid at times. Since being at the shelter, we have watched his confidence grow. He will benefit from a calm and patient owner that will continue to help him build his confidence and trust around people.
Behaviour:
Frodo initially lived with a male (Bilbo), but unfortunately they had to be split due to fighting. Frodo is now looking for a female companion to settle down with and spend his days chatting away to and eating hay.
Housing:
Accommodation can either be an indoor or outdoor enclosure, which must be a minimum of 6ft x 2ft (for two piggies). This could be an indoor C&C pen or a large outdoor shed. Housing can be discussed with staff. He must be bonded with at least one female guinea pig (or more), but the enclosure size would need to accommodate the amount of piggies in the group.
Children/pets:
Frodo can live around other pets, but to be kept separately from them. He can be rehomed with primary school aged children (5-11 years), but young children must be supervised if interacting/handling them.
Vet history:
Frodo has been castrated and has no other health concerns. He will need to be groomed on a weekly basis due to his long coat, to avoid matting.
