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.
Currently they are being housed indoors. Snowy and Cookie could be placed in an outdoor set up during the warmer months. In winter or anytime the temperature drops below 15’C, guineas pigs can become hypothermic if no proper measures have been put in place.

About Snowy and Cookie
Snowy and Cookie are a pair of beautiful boys looking for their forever home together. Snowy is a very confident boy, he will come over to say hi and see if you have any tasty treats to offer. Cookie is a little more reserved but once he sees his friend getting some treats, he also doesn’t want to miss out! The pair love having tunnels and hides to explore, as well as lots of hay to munch on.
If you can offer this pair of boys their forever home, please do get in touch via the website.
