Siren

Siren is a male Guinea Pig. Hello from Siren! He is an adult male white, black & brown American Smooth guinea pig. He is a little shy at first but does enjoy coming up to you to greet you at his front door, and gets extra excited when he sees you holding veggies! He came in with 3 other guinea pigs and was fighting with them on intake, so we believe he would do best as a single piggie. Due to this, he will need extra attention from his adopter to ensure he stays happy & mentally stimulated (enrichment is great! Stuff an egg carton with hay, or an empty paper towel roll!). Guinea Pigs have a vegan diet that consists mainly of high quality Timothy Hay, supplemented with 1/8 cup of hay-based pellets per day. Guinea Pigs also need 1 cup of fresh veggies every day, including things like romaine, green & red leaf lettuce, escarole, parsley, dill, and bell peppers. They also need additional Vitamin C supplements because they do not create their own-just like us! They should be kept in a solid base cage, with a minimum size of 7.5 square feet-approximately 2ft x 4ft, with room for food, water, enrichment, and places to hide. Follow the below steps to bring home your next bestie! Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in this pet, please review our adoption process at www.lowellhumanesociety.org/adoption/#process so you're prepared to adopt & stop by the shelter with the required information to take home this pet.
