Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
Guinea pigs can make lovely pets for all the family, they are loveable and charming little animals. Due to Tornados wary personality, we would recommend a more quiet home where she can settle in on her time. With a family that will give her the patience to trust and fully show what a wonderful personality she has hidden under her nerves.
What type of environment would suit me?
Guinea pigs can live indoors or outside; they enjoy having plenty of time on the grass grazing during good weather days. The ideal accommodation for a pair should consist of a 5ft by 2ft (152cm by 61cm) hutch or indoor cage and a 6ft long by 4ft wide by 18 inches high (183cm by 122 cm) wooden framed run with a removable/hinged lid for the grass.

About Cheese and Tornado
Cheese is a neutered boy who very much loves spending time with his female companion Tornado. The pair are often seen sitting under a hide together munching on their favourite forage and herbs. Cheese is the more confident guinea pig out of the pair and is helping Tornados confidence to build. Cheese will come over to see what treats he may be able to take from your fingers, and gives the occasional wheek for more. Tornado is taking a little longer to settle and will prefer to stay under the safety of her hide, if you give her some time, quiet and patience she will have a small mooch around finding the treats we have hidden. With a family that can understand that guinea pigs are naturally a wary animal, these two will really blossom and become a wonderful little pair! Or, if you have a single or group of females that wouldn’t mind a couple of extra feet following them around, Cheese and Tornado would love to become a herd with some new friends.
If you can offer this pair their forever home either as a pair or with more female friends, please do get in touch via the website.
