🐹 Adopt a Rescue Guinea Pig Month 🐹
Here at the Ark we love guinea pigs and, considering it is now ‘Adopt a Rescue Guinea Pig Month’, we would like to share some fun facts on these beautiful animals! ♥️
Did you know...
Guinea pigs need companionship as they are very sociable animals 🥰
They need daily leafy greens and peppers to meet their vitamin C need 🫑
They love to explore and are very intelligent so need plenty of enrichment 🧠
They are natural self-groomers that clean their fur and skin daily 🫧
When excited they can be very vocal (volume up) 📣
After hearing all of this, how could you resist the urge to adopt a guinea pig? 🤭

March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month, and rescues everywhere are full of incredible piggies looking for homes.
Guinea pigs are social animals that thrive with companionship and proper care. When people understand their needs, they make amazing pets with big personalities.
If you’ve ever considered guinea pigs, adoption is a wonderful place to start.
And if now isn’t the right time to bring piggies home, supporting a rescue still makes a huge difference. Groups like The Guinea Pig Sanctuary take in guinea pigs that have nowhere else to go and care for them until the right home comes along.
Rescues run on volunteers, fosters, and donations, and every bit of support helps more piggies get the care they deserve.

Did you know March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month? 🥰 Well now you do. Many guinea pigs are surrendered, abandoned, or lost, creating a high need for rescues. #adoptdontshop
🐹💛 March is National Adopt a Guinea Pig Month!
We’re celebrating the tiny squeaks, big personalities, and second chances these little companions deserve.
Many guinea pigs arrive in shelters due to impulse purchases, moves, allergies, or guardians underestimating their care needs.
This national month was created in 2002 by the ASPCA to raise awareness and help more guinea pigs find loving homes.
Guinea pigs are social animals who thrive with a buddy, and many shelters have ready‑made bonded pairs waiting for adoption.
They also have special needs — including Vitamin C‑rich veggies — and can live 5–7 years with proper care.
If you’re ready for tiny zoomies and big heart‑melting moments, meet the guinea pigs in our care. Your perfect pair might be wheeking for you. 💛🐹

March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month 🐹, which makes it the perfect time to introduce two very special little friends who are hoping to find a home together.
Meet Rocket and Ivar, a bonded pair of guinea pigs who truly do everything side by side 🥰 Whether they're cuddling up for a nap, exploring their space, or wheeking excitedly when snacks appear, these two are always happiest together. Rocket is the curious explorer of the duo, while Ivar is a devoted snack enthusiast who never misses treat time 🫐
Guinea pigs are social animals who thrive with companionship, enrichment, and space to explore. They enjoy time outside their enclosure, nibbling their favourite veggies, and relaxing with their best friend nearby.
Rocket and Ivar are looking for a loving home that'll welcome them both and give them the care and space that guinea pigs need to thrive 🤗

Small pets, huge hearts, and an 8-year friendship. 🐹✨
Did you know March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month? While these "pocket pets" are small, the crisis facing them right now is significant.*Surrenders are up 40% this year, and these little guys are waiting longer than ever to find their "forever squeak."
A guinea pig isn't just a "starter pet"—they are a 5-to-8-year commitment of purrs, popcorns (that adorable little jump-and-twist they do when they’re happy!), and a lot of cilantro! 🥬
Just look at the amazing Guinea Pigs being fostered by @adopt.yvr.piggypigs for the @bcspca, or the incredible work being done at @laguineapigrescue, @occavyhaven and @metropolitanguineapigrescue. They are the perfect example of why these animals deserve a second chance to "popcorn" in a loving home. 🍿🐹
I just posted a NEW BLOG about:
✅ Why adopting a bonded pair is a game-changer.
✅ The 8-year reality (they’re in it for the long haul!).
✅ How YOU can help even if you can’t adopt (Hint: Check out the "Piggie Pantry" project!).
I was going to keep all these cute piggie secrets to myself, but

Guinea pigs are tiny, adorable, and make the cutest little noises — and we’ve got a whole bunch just waiting to add their cuteness to your life.
Curious about adopting these little guys? Here are some basic care facts to get you started:
🔵 Guinea pigs require at least 7.5–10.5 sq ft of floor space for 1–2 pigs and at least 13 sq ft for 3 pigs — but bigger is always better.
🦷 Did you know a guinea pig’s teeth never stop growing? That’s why hay is the most vital part of their diet. It helps wear down their teeth and keeps their digestive system functioning properly.
🧠 They also enjoy a variety of toys and mental stimulation, like exploring or searching for treats.
What better time to adopt than during #NationalAdoptAGuineaPigMonth? Stop by the APA to meet these sweet faces.
