Meet Dakota
Dakota is a young male that just loves being held by his humans. He will sit on your lap and be loved on for hours.
BUT... because of a past trauma by a previous piggie, Dakota is TERRIFIED of other piggies being in his same living space.
He does fine living BESIDE other piggies, but just can't be with them. He has also been neutered in the hopes of calming his hormones down, but we still feel it's in Dakota's best interest to not have a friend living with him. He would do best as a single. As long as he has a human that will interact with him regularly or have a neighbor, he will be happy.
These wonderful little creatures live an average of 5 to 7 years. We’ve even seen them live until they were 9-10 years old! Children under the age of 12 should always be supervised by an adult when holding guinea pigs. Also, a responsible adult should supervise their care and well-being. Email us at wheekcare2017@gmail.com for more information including our adoption form and our Guinea Pig Care Packet with the essential information all guinea pig owners should have.
