Adopt

Yes, we ask many questions! It is through your answers that we are best able to determine your current guinea pigs need (if you are looking to bond your pig) and or so that we can match every piggy with the appropriate home.

Adoption Fees

All piggy's adopted from GPRO has had their health and behaviour assessed; received an initial medication that treats the most common internal and external parasites.

Adoption Fees

First Time Owners

• If you are a first time owner it is encouraged to book a workshop with us prior to adoption. This way you can learn guinea pig care resources and guidance.

Before an adoption can be approved we require photos of the enclosure you have prepared. All enclosures must be a minimum of 8 sq. ft and should increase if over 2 guinea pigs in the enclosure. The enclosure must also be fully set up before adoption.
