Once done let us know by sending us a email by using the contact form below!

Next step to complete the adoption process is : 

We will need a pic of the enclosure you have ready for them. Min requirement is 8sq ft total. 

.

**We have Midwest cages available for sale at the rescue which fit 8sq ft total requirement for $40 which is cheaper than Amazon. ** we also have coroplast 2x4 for sale $30 if you want to DYI a c&c cage which we also highly recommend. **

Some examples of enclosures we recommend and are pre approved:
 Midwest cage

 C&C cage

PLEASE SEND US A PICTURE OF THE ENCLOSURE YOU WANT TO GET IF ITS NOT ONE OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. Some enclosures say they are 8sq ft total but are not due to bottom floor being smaller than the top cage which is wider and which gets measured for sizing.

.

Kaytee (Large)

Prévue (Large)

Bedding (fleece is recommended since it’s most sanitary, economical and environmentally friendly) *we sell fleece at the rescue that are lined with absorbent material starting at $65 we also have sets liner + lap pad +cuddle sack +bottle pad— ask us about it if we still have in stock *

2 Water Bottles (glass is most sanitary and easier to wash in dishwasher) 

.

2 Ceramic Bowls  

.

Must be ready like Timothy hay, Timothy pellets and vitamin c tablets (pls avoid the vitamin C drops in water since they don’t get the full amount and is a waste) 

Once full pictures of enclosure with everything inside are sent and are approved we can set an adoption date.

Guinea Pigs are herd animals, and need to be in a group of 2 or more to have a fulfilling and healthy life. When alone they tend to get skittish, depressed and anxious.

Single Guinea Pigs 

Males have a 20% chance of bonding whilst females have 80% chance. For this reason we also allow single Guinea Pigs to get adopted out so long as you have another Guinea Pig(s) at home OR would like to adopt two single Guinea Pigs from us. The single Guinea Pig enclosure need to be 8sq ft total min EACH!

We ask that the Guinea Pigs enclosures are placed next to each other so they can see, hear, smell and touch each other whiskers and paws through the wires. This also keeps Guinea Pigs happy and less lonely knowing they have a buddy next door. Some Guinea Pigs like alpha males prefer to have their own space as well so this type of setting works perfectly for them.

Please fill out our adoption form if you are interested in adopting single or bonded Guinea Pig. Please follow up with a email at rescueottawaguineapig@gmail.com.

Please note that our adoption process is subject to approval. 

 

If it’s your first time owning a Guinea Pig please let us know so we can share some reliable resources and informations.
