These two little guinea pig sisters are about 4 months old. Their names are Pink/Foster and Purple/Foster (but really, they are brown :) They have silky fur, which is a little longer in the back. One has a white mark, so you can tell them apart. Both seem healthy and active.

Since Pink and Purple were living at the animal shelter for about a month, they had learned to be a bit scared and run when people approached them, but they are young, and a few weeks of being handled and fed fresh vegetable treats will cure that.

Guinea pigs are very social creatures and do better in pairs and so Pink and Purple must be adopted together. The adoption fee for both will be $40, which will include a free check up at a vet of your choice. For more information or to visit Pink and Purple in Germantown, please contact Lisa @ Lis332@aol.com / 240-605-5040.
