Gherkin's Story

Hi, my name is Gherkin! Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/><br/>-Personality: Curious, skittish, energetic<br/>-Can Live With Kids: Yes, although they can not be the primary caretaker.<br/>-Can Live With Other Guinea Pigs: Yes, guinea pigs are social animals who should never live alone. They should always be in pairs or groups. Introductions should be slow and structured to ensure everyone gets along.<br/>-Litter Box Trained: No<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No<br/><br/>-Additional Information:<br/><br/>Meet Gherkin, a sweet little guinea pig who is looking for his forever home. Gherkin is a little wary of being handled, but with proper socialization he will be a great companion. He will need a nice roomy cage with daily exercise, and his diet should consist of unlimited grass hay, high quality guinea pig pellets, and fresh greens daily. If you think Gherkin is the guinea pig for you, adopt today!<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
