Adoption information
About Myrtle, Tina & Cinderella
These three lovely ladies came to us from an aged care facility. Cinderella (born 26 February 2024) is mum to Myrtle and Tina, who were born in May 2024.
Over time, the residents lost interest, and the facility found it difficult to provide the ongoing care and attention these guinea pigs deserve. Because of this, we wouldn’t yet recommend this trio for a home with young children - they’re still quite frightened and learning that people can be kind and predictable.
However, if you’re a calm adult looking for gentle companions - perhaps someone who understands anxiety and quiet moments - these girls may be just the ones for you. Sometimes, healing works both ways.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
