Betty and Boop

On pregnancy hold until 10/19/2026<br/><br/>Introducing Betty & Boop!<br/><br/>Meet Betty and Boop, a sweet mama-and-daughter pair who came to us from the same situation as Jimothy and Sonic.<br/><br/>Betty was purchased from a pet store along with the male guinea pig in the family, and, as so often happens, she was already pregnant. When they came to us, Betty was extremely emaciated and missing a significant amount of hair.<br/><br/>We were told that Betty was the mama of both Boop and Jimothy and that both babies were approximately six weeks old. But there was one big problem with that story: the math simply didn't add up.<br/><br/>When they arrived, Boop looked to be around three weeks old, while Jimothy appeared to be only a couple of days old. There was a huge difference in their apparent ages, despite being told they were both six weeks old. We really don't know what happened before they came to us, but we do believe Betty has likely had multiple litters.<br/><br/>Because of that history, there's also a possibility that Betty could be pregnant again.<br/><br/>Betty is currently on a pregnancy hold through October 19th. Once that date arrives, we'll have a better idea of whether we're expecting another surprise litter. If Betty is pregnant and gives birth, her adoption will need to be delayed until her babies are old enough and she has had time to recover.<br/><br/>So while Betty and Boop may not be available until the end of October or possibly the beginning of November, we wanted to introduce this beautiful pair now and let everyone get to know them!<br/><br/>Betty and Boop will be adopted together as a bonded pair.<br/><br/>We're so happy to see Betty looking healthier and happier, and we're excited to watch this sweet mama and daughter continue to thrive.<br/><br/>Cage requirements: Guinea pigs need plenty of space to run, popcorn, and explore. Our minimum cage requirement for a pair is 28" x 56" or equivalent/larger. Bigger is always better!<br/><br/>PSA: Guinea pigs are not starter pets or pets for small children. They are sensitive prey animals with specific care, housing, dietary, and veterinary needs. They are best suited to homes with responsible older children/teens or adults who understand the commitment involved in caring for them.<br/><br/>For more information about adopting from Southern California Guinea Pig Rescue, visit SoCalGuineaPigRescue.org.<br/><br/>#SouthernCaliforniaGuineaPigRescue #GuineaPigRescue #GuineaPigAdoption #GuineaPig #RescueGuineaPig #AdoptDontShop #GuineaPigsofInstagram #GuineaPigLove #GuineaPigLife #AbyssinianGuineaPig
