About Hippo
Hi there, my name's Hippo!
I am a chatty, active little ball of piggy fun who can't wait to make your home my own! I love to spend my time with my favourite people so would love to live a mostly indoor lifestyle. When the weather allows, some supervised time outdoors sounds great to me!
I am a curious little guy and would love lots of things to do during the day to keep me entertained! I enjoy running through tunnels, investigating new boxes and squeaking lots when I get my favourite leafy greens!
I haven't spent much time around small children so if I were to go to a home with kids they will need to be gentle and respect my space. I do enjoy being stroked and patted, but like most guinea pigs I prefer to do this with my feet on the floor.
I may like to share my space with another friendly Guinea Pig! We would need a slow introduction in the home to ensure our friendship starts off on the right paw!
My long, luscious hair makes all the other piggys jealous! So I will need your help to keep me looking my best. Regular grooming is a must.
