Why Guinea Pigs Are Great
Hi everyone, my name is Porky and I’m here with my friends Pumpkin and Ginger. We’re a trio of bonded guinea pigs here at AWS who are just so excited to find our new home together. Our friends at AWS thought we’d be the perfect bunch to highlight why guinea pigs are great! And as the most outgoing of us, I’ll take the lead to tell you what makes us so awesome.
Us Guinea Pigs are Social
While my two friends can be shy at first, they show their social side once they warm up to you! Guinea pigs are very social beings that like to be together, which is why we are very happy to be a trio. We like to mingle with people as well, and over time can even learn to recognize your voice! We are known to thrive on companionship, both with humans and other guinea pigs.
We’re Easy to Handle
Another reason why guinea pigs are great is that we’re generally easy to handle. Being small and easy-going creatures, we are pretty easy to care for. While some of us can be more shy and might scurry away at first, many of us don’t mind being scooped up for pets and snuggles. We make great first-time pets to teach children how to care for and handle a pet as well!
Each Guinea Pig’s Personality is Unique
Between myself, Porky, and my friends Pumpkin and Ginger, we are all unique in more than just our looks! Every guinea pig’s personality is different, and that’s what makes each one of us great. While I’m more curious and willing to explore, Pumpkin and Ginger are okay watching me be the extrovert of the group. We all have fun in our unique ways!
We’re Perfect for Smaller Spaces
Unlike a big dog that may need lots of room to live, we don’t take up much space! We enjoy a clean and well-kept space that doesn’t take up much room! So, if you live in an apartment or a smaller space and need some cute companions, us guinea pigs could be a great fit for you.
Now that you know why guinea pigs are great, you should come meet us! We’re lots of fun and love to nibble on our food. We’ll keep you entertained with all of our scurrying around and chatter! So, if you or someone you know is interested in adopting, come by the Adoption Center or give us a call at (207)985-3244.
