Cinderella

Cinderella 4406794 and Chocolate 4406811 are both one year old Guinea Pigs who need to be adopted together. They are gentle girls who are good with kids six and up. Their original owners did not take them when they moved.
We need to be TOGETHER !!!!  Guinea pigs are social animals, so it is best if they live in PAIRS.
Usually females cohabit well as either siblings OR mother and daughter pairs. Males should NEVER be placed with females under any circumstances even for a short period.
Do NOT keep Guinea Pigs outside in the Texas climate.  Guinea pigs can have heatstroke at 85°F and also canNOT tolerate cold.
