About Rocco And Reggie
Meet Rocco (the rex) and Reggie (the Abyssinian), the two bonded guinea pig brothers.
Both boys are sociable and are eager to find a forever family to call their own. They have previously interacted with a calm dog and displayed no signs of fear, even approaching to give the dog kisses. This indicates they would thrive in a home with a gentle dog that can give them space when needed. Additionally, they are surprisingly quiet for guinea pigs, only making noise when it's time for breakfast. If you’re looking for guinea pigs that won’t disturb the peace, this is your chance!
Rocco is typically the first to trust you, eagerly approaching the cage bars for any treats you have. He’s quite the foodie and squeaks to remind you when it’s time for his morning salad. He absolutely loves his pellets, so feeding him will win over his heart in no time. One of his many quirks is that he enjoys climbing on top of his hidey houses, which adds to his charm. He also adores his free time, not just for the grass he munches on, but because he absolutely loves sunbathing. You can often find him stretched out, soaking up the sun while taking a snooze!
Reggie, who isn’t quite as adventurous as his brother, looks to him for guidance. His relaxed personality makes him an ideal cuddle buddy. He enjoys lounging on your lap for some gentle pats and the occasional treat. Reggie particularly likes his fresh greens and eagerly waits by the cage door for his salad. When he’s not munching on something tasty, he can often be found snoozing in the cutest positions. Reggie also loves running through his tunnels and can be seen zooming around in them!
Rocco and Reggie would thrive in a home filled with plenty of fresh greens and pellets. They would do well in various households, remaining unfazed by occasional loud noises or the vacuum moving nearby. They get along well with younger kids, provided the children treat them gently and understand when to give them some space. These boys are also comfortable with any resident dogs you may have! They would greatly appreciate a home where they can free roam or enjoy time in an outdoor pen, as they love to stretch their legs.
If you’re looking to welcome a pair of charming guinea pigs into your life, Rocco and Reggie are the perfect choice. Contact us to find out more about adopting these sweet brothers and giving them the loving home they deserve.
