Binkxi Guinea Pig Guinea Pig Wolcott, IN

We have an adult male guinea pig looking for his forever home. His name is Binkxi! Binkxi came into our rescue at the beginning of December, and is now ready to go to his forever home.

Binkxi was brought in with his buddy guinea pig. They had been found in an alley by the owner’s brother. The owner took them in, but unfortunately did not have a good setup for these guinea pigs, and told us that they were keeping them in their garage with a heat lamp on them. We’re not sure whether or not this was really the case, as Binkxi was covered in soil, as if he had been outside. Unfortunately, his buddy had already passed away by the point they were brought to us, and Binkxi wasn’t far behind in his body condition. The buddy was absolute skin and bones, and Binkxi was just a slight bit better. We treated him for mites, due to the soil that was found on him. In the two months he’s spent here with us, he’s put on considerable weight and is now at an adequate weight for an adult guinea pig. He is very sweet, despite what he has been through.

Because of all of this, we unfortunately do not know how old Binkxi is, other than to say that he is an adult. He is a tricolor American male guinea pig (white, black, and just an itsy bitsy bit of brown).

Binkxi is your typical guinea pig in that he does move away from you when you go to pick him up, but once you are holding him, he is super sweet. He will chill with you, no problem. He enjoys hiding in his igloo and his favorite snacks are apples and carrots (though he does like his hay and leafy greens as well!). He’s definitely come around in the time we’ve had him, so we’re sure that the more time you spend with him, the more he will continue to come out of his shell and be super sweet with you as well. He’s super sweet and does well with being handled and petted. He will sit nicely in your arms when you’re petting him. He does well with having his nails trimmed. He has never bitten.

This guinea pig will come with some food to start you out with (2 pounds of guinea pig pellets) and a printed out version of our guinea pig care packet. We also have additional supplies for sale, such as cages, food, food bowls, water bottles, hidey houses, and more.

Do you need a cage? We have multiple cages for sale, everything from smaller guinea pig cages to larger ones. You can buy a cage similar to what he is living in for $25. We also have this type of cage (used) -- https://www.petsmart.com/small-pet/cages-habitats-and-hutches/cages/midwest-guinea-pig-habitat-plus-5171984.html -- for $30. If you are looking for a cage, please check with us, we often have a variety of cages available (even other than what’s mentioned above).

Regardless of past guinea pig experience, all potential homes will be asked to read our guinea pig care packet and fill out our adoption application/guinea pig questionnaire. If you are unwilling to do this, please do not waste our time or yours. No guinea pig will go to a new home without an adoption application being filled out - no exceptions.

Binkxi is located in Hammond, Indiana (46324). Sorry, but we do not ship.

The adoption fee for Binkxi is $25
