Meet Gertrude

Little bit about Gertrude, the Rescuoodle

Hi, my name is Gertrude! I am waiting for my forever home; could that be with you?

I have been given the clean bill of health by a vet, all that's left for me to do is find the perfect person to spend forever with 🙂

Guinea pigs are social creatures so at least two should be kept in the same enclosure together. Guinea pigs are prey animals, for this reason hides should be provided for your pets, the easiest way to make a hidey hole is to cut an entry way out of an upside-down cardboard box.

Guinea pigs get overheated easily so efforts should be taken to keep them cool in the heat of summer, ideally at temperatures between 18-20 degrees Celsius. It is important to expose your guinea pigs to at least 20 minutes a week of sunlight.

Guinea pigs are unable to produce Vitamin C so plenty of fresh orange, capsicum, parsley and other fruits and vegetables should be provided.

Well hat's everything about me, hope to see you soon. <3

Love from Gertrude Xxoo
