: Brown and white female guinea pig being rehomed due to allergies. Come with cage, hidey home, water bottle, food dish, toys, some bedding, food, hay, and vitamins. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Don't put the vitamins in the water, they're not water soluble so they stop working after five minutes and then make the water taste bad, reducing water consumption by the guinea pig.
