Other notes:
Tango is a very friendly Guinea pig if you walk into the room she is standing on her back feet with her front feet on the bars waiting for head scratches or ear scratches but she’d prefer if you keep your scratches on her head since she’s not a fan of body pets. She’s learning to like being carried but she’s still a little unsure. She’d love to just hang out with you while you watch TV or read.

Tango came to MNPPR as a transfer from animal control after she was found outside with several other guinea pigs.
