Oreo came into the shelter with her mother and sister as her previous owner was unable to afford to have all of them. The owner was told mom Snickers was a male, and suddenly there were bonus guinea pigs! Oreo is a one year old female described by her previous family as a shy cuddler that will chatter when she’s had enough. She was also said to be vocal for her food and a fan of coming out to run and play with toys!

Snickers was separated from her babies when they were younger due to a mixup in sexing and would need to be reintroduced to them, but there was no hostile behavior between them and pigs benefit from neighbors even if they don’t share an enclosure. Guinea pigs (particularly females) are recommended to be housed in pairs or other groups, so this would be a good opportunity to have a young family! Like mini candy bars, how could you have just one? If you’re interested in Oreo as a companion for another or with her family, come meet her!
