Bertie

Meet Bertie!

Bertie is a handsome entire male guinea pig looking for a loving forever home where he can continue to grow in confidence. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and a gentle approach, you'll soon discover what a lovely little character he is.

Once Bertie gets to know you, he becomes much more relaxed and will happily "chat" away, greeting you with his adorable guinea pig squeaks and letting you know when it's time for food!

Like many guinea pigs, Bertie isn't a fan of being picked up, but once he's safely settled on your lap, he enjoys gentle strokes and is content to sit with you while you spend some quiet time together.

Bertie is a big foodie and absolutely loves his fresh vegetables. He'll always be first in line when he hears the rustle of a food bag, and he never says no to the occasional healthy sweet treat!

Bertie is currently living in an indoor enclosure and is well settled as a house guinea pig. He could be gradually acclimatised to outdoor living during the warmer months if his new owners wished, but he would be happiest being brought back indoors during the colder months to keep him warm and comfortable.

Bertie is looking for a home where he can be carefully bonded with another friendly male guinea pig or a neutered female, as guinea pigs are social animals and thrive with the companionship of their own kind. He would benefit from patient introductions to help him build a happy and lasting friendship.

If you're looking for a sweet boy who just needs a little time and patience to come out of his shell, Bertie could be the perfect addition to your family. Please register your interest today!

Please be aware that Bertie is currently in a foster home, so he is not available to meet at the centre.
