🐹 Guinea pig First days · 2 min
Guinea pigs from a shelter
What to ask and prepare beforehand.
Many are waiting in shelters
Many guinea pigs are waiting for a home in shelters, often already used to a partner and checked by a vet.
Questions and papers
Ask about food, health and character. Ask for the papers on examinations and treatments.
Everything already in the app
If your shelter uses Tendra Pets, you get a QR code at the handover. Scan it in the app and vaccinations, feeding times, medication, care tasks, appointments, weight and photos are with you straight away. You don't have to type anything and can start with reminders right away.
Well prepared
Prepare a large enclosure with hay, water and several little houses. Guinea pigs live in groups and are rarely adopted out alone.
Calm to settle in
The first days are exciting. Let the animals explore their new home in peace and give them time to build trust.
