Now to the good questions!! |
| 1. Why do you want a guinea pig?? |
|
| 2. Have you ever owned a guinea pig before? |
|
| 3. How much do you
know about guinea pig care? |
|

guinea pig you would like for a friend: |
|
| 5. How would you
feel about waiting for your special friend if none are available at

your guinea pig will have: |
|
We strongly recommend that each habitat be
equipped with a house, a ceramic food bowl, a water bottle and a hay
rack. Your piggie's new home must be ready for occupancy the day of
adoption.
No cedar bedding will be used!! It will harm your guinea pig!
|
7.
Since Guinea pigs love to watch T.V. and be "where-the-action-is",
in what room of your home will your new friend's habitat be located?
(Rooms with a high humidity level, such as laundry rooms, are not
acceptable.)? |

While the entire family might enjoy and love your
new friend, This Little Piggy &
Me would like to know who

he must have an adult (over the age of 18) to look after his health
and well-being. |
