Mars and Monte Guinea Pig Guinea Pig Olympia, WA

Mars and Monte are a bonded pair of male guinea pig brothers. They were born in August of 2022.

Mars and Monte are from a home where their parents were allowed to breed which created a huge issue for the home trying to take care of all the guineas. Sadly the boys didn't get handled much so when they came to us they were quite skittish with loud sounds and arms reaching into the cage.

Being in a loving foster home that is consistent with socialization has made a big difference in their confidence! They still aren't fans of being picked up, they'll try to wiggle away, but once you have them in your lap they're calm and content! They love treats and will eagerly stand up on the side of their enclosure waiting for something to snack on.

The boys are typical teenagers and sometimes have a lot to say about the other in their space. A perfect home would be a large enclosure with two of everything so there is no bickering. They eat a LOT of hay and get so excited when a new pile is put inside their enclosure to enjoy. Mars especially loves snuggling into blankets. He even will roll himself up like a little burrito before taking a nap!

Mars and Monty's adoption fee is $35. If you're interested in adopting them, please email us at tinytailsandscales@gmail.com.
