Description:
Taffy is a sweetheart of a pig! She was named Taffy because her orange color reminds us of sweet candy and her Abyssinian rosettes look as though her coat has been pulled in many directions! She's very curious and intelligent! A beautiful "burnt orange" color with a pretty white blaze on her nose, she's a glamour queen! She loves her veggies and nibble rings and is very fond of floortime.

Taffy gets along wonderfully with all other pigs, and she is looking for a home with a neutered male or another female (or two, or more) to bond with!  She has met many other female pigs and lives with her foster mom's resident trio: two sows and one neutered boar but she needs a family of her own!

This guinea pig is looking for love and affection, but needs more than just a cage to live in.

Guinea pigs should never be kept alone, and our pigs are no exception. If you are not adopting as a companion for a pig or pigs at your home, you must adopt a pair or trio from our rescue so they will not be alone. These babies will not be adopted as a pet for children (though families who will share responsibility of the pet are acceptable), and must be kept indoors only.

Guinea pigs can live anywhere from 5 to sometimes 10 years or more if properly cared for. PLEASE make sure you are READY for a lifetime commitment for this animal before inquiring to adopt.

Guinea pigs need a daily diet of leafy greens and vegetables (this can be more pricey than the rest of the pigs' diet), with a premium quality pelleted food. We recommend Oxbow brand pellets. *Do NOT feed guinea pigs foods with corn or seeds added to the mix, this creates FAT and unhealthy pigs!* They also require unlimited timothy or timothy mixed hay, not alfalfa. We recommend C&C cages (www.guineapigcages.com) and can help you find supplies to build your own. To adopt one of our guinea pigs, you must already have a setup at the time of adoption OR allow us to help you find and build one for you. Adoption cannot be completed without a setup a the time of a home visit. These measures are taken strictly to ensure the best quality of life for our animals once they've been adopted.
