Name: Zoey
Age: 1 year
Sex: Female
Breed: Guinea Pig
Ref number: 12
Personality:
This is Zoey, who can at times be quite shy and will often be snuggled under her igloo of hay. In the right setting she will emerge to say hello, especially if fresh veggies have been delivered to her!
Behaviour:
Since her arrival Zoey is quite a nervous sow, in her previous home her confidence with socialization took a turn, through no fault of her own. She was housed with another female guinea pig (Rumi) but unfortunately we had to split them recently, due to discovering that they weren’t as bonded as we thought. However, Zoey is now showing steps of confidence since being without her previous cage mate, and we feel that bonding her with either a neutered male or a group of females, will be much better suited to bring her out of her shell even more. Zoey will need a family who can give a calm and slow approach to build trust and a bond, as she is easily spooked with handling.
Housing:
Zoey is looking for either an indoor or outdoor enclosure, which must be a minimum size of 6ft x 2ft (for two piggies). This could be a C&C pen (with optional access to a secure run in a garden when the weather permits) or a large outdoor shed, which can be insulated and allows for natural daylight and ventilation. Housing can be discussed with staff and the size of the enclosure can vary depending on the total number of guinea pigs, but we do not rehome to hutches.
Children/pets:
She can live around other animals, but must be kept separately. Zoey can also live with children of secondary school age and above (11-18 years) due to her nervous nature and younger children must have supervision if interacting/handling.
Vet history:
Zoey has been checked by our vet and has no medical issues.
Additional information:
We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the guinea pig.
Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance. Adopters are responsible for the on-going medical costs once the animal has been adopted.
Due to the high number of applications we receive daily, regrettably we will only be able to contact the successful applicant.
Please note you have to be 18+ to apply for an animal
