Elmer has been adopted!

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by a Good Samaritan on May 30, 2021.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Wheet wheet! This cutie is Elmer! A wonderful guinea pig looking for some new digs. Elmer enjoys snacks, a comfy house, and play time with his favorite humans! Guinea pigs are incredibly social animals who need to be kept in pairs to thrive. Elmer is looking for a buddy, so if you have a single, male Guinea Pig at home, they might make the perfect pair! If not, ask us about other guinea pigs available to be bonded to Elmer! Guinea pigs need a lot of ground space to run around and stay healthy. Two guinea pigs will need a minimum of 10 sq feet of space (more is better!) to call home. An easy and inexpensive way to give your pigs a DIY piggy palace is called a C&C fleece lined cage (google it!). Guinea pigs need lots of daily timothy hay to munch on, extra space to run around in, and toys to keep them active and enriched! Healthy greens and veggies are also an essential part of their diet, as well as a daily dose of vitamin C in the form of a supplement or a slice of orange! If you'd like to learn more about adding Elmer to your family, come down to the San Diego campus to speak with an adoptions counselor!
