About Pumpkin
Hi my name is Pumpkin, I'm a 6 month old desexed male. I was born in the refuge as my mum was part of the NSW guinea rescue that occured earlier this year. I'm on the search looking for my forever home!
My foster parents like to say that my personality is like both sides of the coin, some days I'm very energetic and wriggly and just want to explore and do zoomies and other days all I want is cuddle and many naps - I am a huge fan of hideouts and Donut beds, I also really love head rubs and cheek kisses, but brace yourself, I tend to wheek very loud when I'm happy and feeling the love.
My favorite things to eat are carrots, lettuce and celery (especially celery leaves). I would really love a friend but just haven't been lucky enough to find the right friend as of yet. I have been lucky enough to spend time with children and given how young and energetic I am, I tend to get super wriggly so if my forever family members are comfortable with holding a younger guinea then I would feel more safe and less prone to wriggling out of your hands to explore. I am very shy when I'm with strangers so please be patient with me as it takes me some time to build the trust and comfort with new humans but moment I do oh my the fun memories and affectionate bonding moment we will have will be so worth the patience.
I would be a great addition to your family, I bring a large amount of energy, sounds and love to any household and i am really looking forward to meeting you future forever family.
