Additional information
Like other small pets, they should be kept safely away from other animals in the home. As prey animals, they may feel threatened by the presence of other species, such as cats and dogs.
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. Some confident piggies can rule the roost with their wheeking for veggies and demands of a cheeky little head rub from the get-go. Being prey animals they can get spooked quite easily, and it may take time for some guinea pigs to feel safe in their new home. Like any animal, treating them with kindness and patience, you will provide them with a safe environment for them to gain confidence.
What type of environment would suit me?
The minimum accommodation for a pair of boy guinea pigs consists of a 6ft x 2ft sheltered space, such as a hutch, Wendy house, shed or indoor accommodation. Along with a 6 x 4ft wooden framed run with a removeable/hinged lid, or equivalent indoor free-range space (if no access to garden) with a minimum of 18inches high.
During the winter or anytime the temperature drops below 15’C, guineas pigs can become hypothermic if no proper measures have been put in place.

About Jack and Daniel
Jack and Daniel are a pair of entire boys looking for a home and owner wanting to spend time to help build their confidence. Since coming into us they prefer to stay hidden under lots of hay and hides. With this being said, Daniel is started to be brave by coming over to see what tasty treats are on offer which is helping to encourage Jack too. They really enjoy a mixture of forage to munch on along with some herbs such as mint, basil and coriander. If you can offer these boys their forever home, please do get in touch via the website.
