About Elmer
Elmer is an absolutely adorable guinea pig whose lovely personality is sure to shine through as you grow to know him. With his excited dinner-time wheeks and cartoonish expression, Elmer will bring an element of joy into your home.
Elmer is looking for a home with another guinea pig or two, and would thrive in a calm setting where he can gradually build his confidence. With some treats and gentle interaction, you'll be sure to win him over. Like most guinea pigs, Elmer doesn't show his love through cuddles, but through trusting you enough to approach you.
Elmer would prefer a home with teenagers or adults only, and hopes that you will appreciate his bravery as he adapts into a new environment. If you have cat or dog family members, please put thought into how you will keep them safely away from his enclosure.
Are you looking to expand your existing guinea pig family and think that you can provide Elmer with a loving home for the rest of his life (4-6 years)? If so, send us an enquiry and we'll get back to you as soon as possible to get this lovely boy adopted!
Elmer will be microchipped prior to adoption, and you will receive proof of this procedure. We kindly ask that after adoption we be permitted to remain an emergency contact on his microchip in case you are ever unreachable for any reason. He will also be treated with a parasite preventative before leaving us.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
All of our animals are seeking indoor only homes. We do not adopt out any animal to live alone (excluding entire male mice). If you do not have one or more compatible animals of the same species, you must adopt a bonded pair or group.
Once you apply to adopt, we'll talk with you about proper care of the animals you're looking to adopt, discuss any concerns you or we might have, and tell you more about our available animals. To speed up the process, please include as much detail as possible about your situation, other animals, experience with the species you're looking to adopt, and intended housing/diet when you apply. If there's a particular vet clinic you intend to use, please tell us the name (otherwise we can help you locate one that is knowledgable in small animals).
As part of the adoption process we require photos of a complete, suitable set up. We can provide care advice, and suggest contacting us prior to buying any cages or items for your new family members as many sold for small animals are not appropriate. We've also outlined our housing expectations on our social media, but don't be intimidated! We are here to help, not judge.
At the time of adoption, you'll be asked to pay an adoption fee and sign an adoption form. You'll receive an adoption packet including a detailed care guide for the species you've adopted, an adoption certificate, and any relevant veterinary records (proof of vaccination and sterilisation, microchip details, etc).
