NJ-Somerset Regional Animal Shelter-boar; tips

Somerset Regional Animal Shelter is an award winning shelter that cares for about 1,000 animals a year. The shelter also provides humane education to schools and other interested groups.

ADOPTED! Aaaaand, they have a handsome guinea pig named Licorice!

To be honest, the description they provide for Licorice worries me a bit. So I'm just going to post his picture, and refer you to some sites to read up about how to care for this cutie.





Learn about a proper sized cage here: C&C Cages
Learn about Guinea Pig diet from Guinea Lynx here.
And now that you know about quality pellets and unlimited hay, visit Kleenmama's Loft.
Learn about Guinea Pig bedding from Cavy Spirit here.
Learn about "what's normal" in a guinea pig from Guinea Lynx here.
Learn about what providing a "forever home" for Licorice implies here, another valuable Guinea Lynx page.

The sites that I've linked to aren't nearly as many as I could. Guinea Pigs are complicated animals, socially and medically. It's important to learn as much about them as possible before adopting, and stay open to new knowledge.

For example, if you're putting Vitamin C in your guinea pig's w a t e r, you've got some reading to do!
