Waddles

Waddles is a precious little guy with a timid nature. He has a fondness for kale and apple slices. While initially hesitant, he has made progress in taking treats and is sometimes comfortable staying out to enjoy them. Beyond treats, Waddles enjoys the soothing presence of a good story. Reading to him during non-treat times has proven to be a comforting and bonding experience. Waddles remains very nervous and skittish, but there have been positive steps forward. He has shown courage to come closer, take treats, and even go nose-to-hand by the end of the interaction. Waddles would thrive in a calm and quiet home where he can feel secure.
___

Guinea pigs require a minimum pen size is 36"L x 24"W x 18"H which provides room for running, possibly climbing multiple levels, foraging, hiding, food, water, a hay box, and possibly a litter box. Cage bottoms should be solid, rather than wire, to prevent painful foot ulcers. To keep your piggy happy and healthy, provide environmental enrichments, such as tunnels, chewing and foraging activities. Keep them in a social area of the house but away from kitchen fumes/smells, loudspeakers, and direct sunlight. Guinea pigs' teeth are constantly growing and are kept worn by chewing hay, so always provide unlimited amounts of hay.
