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 girl guinea pigs consists of a minimum 5 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.

About Muffin
Muffin is a lovely little lady with the sweetest nature. She can be quite shy when meeting new people and prefers to take things at her own pace, but with a little patience and kindness, her gentle personality begins to shine through. She enjoys a calm, quiet environment where she can feel safe and build her confidence. Once she learns to trust you, Muffin is a delightful companion.
As a single female guinea pig, Muffin will need to be bonded with a female companion or a neutered male, as guinea pigs are happiest living with a friend. She would be best suited to a home that understands shy animals and is willing to give her the time she needs to settle in.
If you’re looking for a gentle little guinea pig with a heart full of sweetness, Muffin could be the perfect addition to your family.
