Sixen with Coco

Meet little Sixen and Coco!<br/><br/>Sixen and Coco are sweet brother pigs best described as shy but curious piggies who enjoy gentle pets on the forehead and gentle interactions. Sixen is the more outgoing one of the pair and will come out and be curious before Coco, but if you give them some time and gentleness, they'll both be curiously peeping at you! They're big fans of lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes (on occasion) and will sometimes jump for joy like popping popcorn when they're excited for their treats! They like to spend their days curled up in cozy spots napping or munching away on lots of hay. They'll be so happy to find a home-- hopefully with you!<br/><br/>Ready to Adopt?<br/>The guinea pig adoption fee is $35 (for a single, pair or trio).<br/><br/>As most of our small animals are in foster care, if you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about this pet, the best way to start the process is to call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us at springfield@dakinhumane.org. If you already have a cage, please send a picture of your cage when you inquire.<br/><br/>We've made a video about how to set up guinea pigs for success! Check it out, above with the photos. Set your new guinea pig up for success!<br/><br/>Guinea pigs are incredibly social animals who need to be kept in pairs/groups to thrive. If there are two names listed together (eg Peanut Butter w/Jelly), that means that the two animals are a bonded pair of friends, and must be adopted together.<br/><br/>Housing requirements: Guinea pigs need horizontal (ground) space.<br/>- 1-2 guinea pigs: 6.5 square feet cage, but more is better<br/>- Three guinea pigs: 8 square feet, but more is better, especially if they are boys<br/>- Expect to spend around $100 on guinea pig housing and supplies to prepare for your new pet.<br/>- The least expensive and largest way to house your pigs well is by creating a C & C cage, which is a DIY creation!
