About *Pewter (Guinea pig) in Brighton

*Pewter is waiting for you at Adams County Animal Shelter in Brighton, CO 80601. Pewter and Pie are a part of a bonded pair! This means that they have lived together, lean on one another, and must go to their new home together.Guinea pigs make wonderful pets for kids, teens, and adults. They are lower maintenance than rabbits, and less skittish than hamsters, so they can be a great “middle ground” for a first pet. Guinea pigs are social and do best with a companion of the same gender. They are fast learners and many will squeal in delight when they anticipate a veggie treat or a fun activity. Guinea pigs need a secure enclosure to live in, but benefit from supervised time outside their enclosure to stretch their legs. Guinea pigs generally live between 4-8 years with proper care.
