(MASS APPEAL) – It’s time for Mass Appeal’s Pet of the Week and we’re introducing you to Beans! Lee Chambers from Dakin Humane Society is here with more on this little guy.
Background
Beans may be a bit like a can of baked beans at first, sealed tight and a tad shy, but give him a little time, and you’ll be cracking open the heart of this charming companion! Once he warms up to you, he becomes a watchful observer, always curious about your every move. Beans LOVES leafy greens and will snatch them out of your hands. Guinea pigs are incredibly social animals who need to be kept in pairs/groups to thrive. They need lots of space to run around in, and toys to keep them active and enriched! They should get daily “floor time” outside of their cage. This time outside of the cage will be great for bonding and growing closer with them!
