Candy

**THIS CRITTER IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING AT THE SHELTER** If you see an animal you're interested in, fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website https://everettwa.gov/161/Adopt-a-Pet Meet Cookies and Candy, two adult male Guinea pigs. Both are very active and can be a little squirmy with a new handler, but they settle down quickly. They are very friendly, inquisitive and playful. They eat fruits and veggies from your hand. Both enjoy light scratches behind the ears, on top of the head and on the bridge of the nose. Candy is a red and white American Crested cross. American Guinea pigs are the most common varieties with a distinctive smooth hair coat. Candy is a medium sized Guinea pig and easy to handle. Both Guinea pigs have hearty appetites. They love romaine lettuce, carrots, English cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, apples, celery, broccoli, kale, oranges, clementines, peaches, strawberries, pears, parsley, grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon. They eat OxBow's adult Guinea pig pellets and timothy hay. Cookies and Candy make happy chirping and "wheeking" sounds when they hear the rustle of bags or the refrigerator door opening, anticipating the arrival of their fruits and veggies. Guinea pigs need to be handled with care. They have a lot of energy and move quickly. Adult supervision for young novice handlers is recommended. Though not litter mates, these adorable boys get along well and should be adopted together. Are Cookies and Candy the perfect pets for you?
