My Story
Our adoption process can be found on our website here:
https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process
Estimated birth date: 12/1/20
Personality: Chatty, Curious, Friendly toward humans, Friendly toward other animals, Funny, Inquisitive, Nervous, Sweet, Slightly shy
Favorite treats: There are very few treats that Guacamole will not eat! Alfalfa based pellets, most fruits & veggies, and pea flakes
Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food, Fruit, Veggies, Leafy Greens, Western Timothy Hay, Tiny Friends Farm Gerty Guinea Pig Scrummies ( We are trying to transition away from the Tiny Friends food)
Favorite toys and activities: Guacamole likes to explore! He's very curious, and a little bit nosy at times. He loves eating almost anything, taking naps in, and eating big piles of hay. He enjoys treat-dispensing toys and chewing on a good ole paper bag.
Potty trained: Not really, but he and his bondmate tend to do most of their business in their hay boxes/areas.
This animal’s daily routine: Typically the routine is pellets right away in the morning, then enrichment, free-roam time, and veggies in the evening, .
BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Hot Sauce and Guacamole are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.
Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Guacamole has met a cat and dog, and was curious about both, getting nose to nose and sniffing them.
Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Yes, in small doses, he doesn't seem to mind them, but is fairly shy to most people.
Health concerns: None
Behavioral concerns: None
Other Notes: Guacamole is a very handsome guinea pig, and is such a silly little guy. He often makes quiet exploring/curious squeaks, and always seems to want to know what you're doing. He is a bit shy, as most guinea pigs are, but can be brave at times, too! He is excellent at using his very cute looks to beg for more treats and veggies.
Hot Sauce & Guacamole came to MNPPR when their previous owner was no longer able to provide attention.
Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the PetSmart in St Louis Park at 5640 Cedar Lake Rd S, Minneapolis, MN 55416. for meet & greets, & adoptions.
Fee: Hot Sauce & Guacamole have a combined adoption fee of $60
We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.
