About Bear and Pongo

Bear and Pongo are adorable and fun, five-week-old male American smooth coat guinea pigs (born January 17, 2026) looking for a loving guardian. They are social with people as well as other guinea pigs. They are currently eating unlimited timothy, alfalfa, orchard and botanical hays, fresh salad, fruits, veggies and pellets. Guinea pigs need daily vitamin C which they get from fresh pellets, a 1-inch squares of red pepper, a vitamin C cookie, and some of their dark leafy greens. These adorable fellows deserve a guinea pig-loving home with people who will handle them daily, keep them well-fed, nails trimmed, and habitat nice and clean.
