Rose's Story

Rose is a 3-month-old American guinea pig with a tan and white coat and a shy little personality. New people can be a bit intimidating for him, so he spends much of his day tucked away in his hides and may dart away when hands approach. Give him some quiet time, though, and his curiosity starts to win out. After sitting with him for a few minutes, Rose began coming over to sniff hands, although he was still nervous about sudden movements.<br/><br/>Rose has been enjoying out-of-cage time in a playpen with volunteers, and he seems to really like having the opportunity to explore in a safe, enclosed space. He may be tricky to handle for now, but he can usually be scooped up along with one of his favorite hides.<br/><br/>Rose has lived with children before and could potentially do so again with respectful handling. He also gets very interested in other guinea pigs and has been known to oink at his neighbors. Guinea pigs are social animals and typically do best with another guinea pig of the same gender, so his adopter should consider bonding him with another male pig.<br/><br/>And if you want to win Rose over, he has already revealed some of his favorite snacks: bell peppers, parsley, and blueberries.
