About Cheese
We are Cheese & Vegemite, a male Guinea pig & female Lop eared rabbit. We are the best of friends & would loved to be rehomed together if possible. We often groom each other & play chase around our pen. Vegemite likes to hop over Cheese if he’s blocking the race track.
Cheese is very gentle & shy. He is happy to be held & stroked. He is very much a little piggy 🐷 & LOVES his food 🥒🥬🥕🥦🫛 Sometimes he likes to sneak off & enjoy all the fresh treats that Vegemite can’t have 🤫 My curly nails grow very fast & need to be trimmed regularly.
Vegemite doesn’t like to be picked up much but she loves you to sit with her, stroking her super soft fur & feeding her tasty snacks. She loves to dig & scratch around in her bedding. I also love to chew on toys & wood.
We are used to small children & love their gentle affection.
We come with all our home comforts, an indoor cage as well as an outdoor hutch & pen for when it cools down again or a quick grass snack on cooler evenings.
We’re a bit more heat tolerant than rabbits. At the moment, in the heat of the Pilbara, I go into a safe outdoor cage in the late afternoons with leaves to play and burrow in. During the day I am inside the house where it's cooler.
What else will I need to be happy? A gnawing block, a brush once or twice a week, fresh water in a metal spouted drip bottle and my own sleeping area - with a cover on top. Guinea pigs need their home cleaned every day and their bedding changed every week. We can live for up to ten years. And we make great pets for gentle children.
I CAN FLY TO PERTH!
Flying for a few hours is very important for animals in remote locations because it gives us the opportunity to be adopted. Talk to SAFE about flying me to you in Perth.
