On Saturday during our adoption clinic at Global - Pitou Minou et Compagnons, we received a call about two guinea pigs abandoned in a box in the parking lot at Kirkland's Wal-Mart. They were delivered to us that afternoon. They are described as two six-month-old boys, though we'll get the sexes checked at the vet, especially as one sounds a little congested. They were terrified, and remained so for more than a day. They are not used to human attention, so it will take a little while - a few weeks, at least - to get them into a friendly routine in preparation for adoption. They are both medium-haired, very cowlicky, and one is orange and one is black. They are not named. We will post more about them as we find out their sex, health, and personalities!
Update: They are girls, and their names are Iggy and Pop! Because I noticed I have a tendency to have musician-named pets.
