About Phineas and Ferb
Meet Phineas and Ferb!
We are seeking a loving and responsible home for two delightful guinea pigs named Phineas and Ferb. These charming companions are not only friendly but also have unique care requirements that potential adopters should be aware of.
About Phineas and Ferb:

- Ages: 3 years old
- Breeds:
- Phineas: Satin Texel (long-haired
- Ferb: Abyssinian (medium-haired)
- Temperament: Both are friendly and social. They get along wonderfully and must be adopted together.
Important Information:
While Phineas currently show no symptoms of health issues, it is important to note that satin guinea pigs are at a higher risk for a condition known as
**Satin Syndrome** or **Osteodystrophy**, which can lead to bone density problems as they age. Regular health monitoring and veterinary care are essential for their well-being.
What You Need to Know:
- **Grooming Needs:** Phineas, as a Satin Texel, requires regular grooming to maintain his long, luxurious coat. Daily brushing is recommended to prevent matting and to keep his fur healthy.
