Brownie Guinea Pig Young - Adoption, Rescue for sale in Novato, California

Brownie and Smores are best friends and must be adopted together. They are both big so we STRONGLY suggest a cage that is bigger than what they are in now. The more room they have to move around the better. And as much as they love each other, with more room they won't squabble. They were both bought at a pet store for the family children, but they lost interest and now they are here. They are well socialized and should be fine for any family.As with all gp's, it's best to calmly approach them and go slow/easy when picking them up. Going slow will put them more at ease, plus being prey animals they can get scared very easily. If their new family has kids parents should always supervise any interaction. GP's have fragile backs and spines. If not held properly that can easily be injured. Besides needing daily attention and love, GP's have specific dietary needs. They can not produce Vitamin C which is critical for them to stay healthy. You can get drops for the water, but it dilutes too quickly and it's a waste of money. Most people buy them vitamin tablets to eat (we recommend Oxbow brand). If they won't eat them, you can crush them, add water and then very slowly syringe feed it to them. (You can get syringe's in the baby aisle at most grocery stores).In addition to vitamin tablets make sure they get a large helping of fresh veggies every day. The ones with a lot of Vitamin C are: Parsley, Lettuce (Romaine, Butter, Loose Leaf, NO Head Lettuce), Cilantro, Green or Red Peppers (just a few small slices), Dandelion Greens, small slice of Tomato or one Cherry Tomato. You can also give one baby Carrot three - four times a week. For fruit: a small piece of Cantaloupe, a small slice of Orange, Kiwi,Strawberry, Honeydew Melon. More Vitamin C options can be found at Remember that giving them Vitamin C is crucial to them staying healthy. (See Smore's write-up for more care information.)
