MSPCA-Angell Pet of the Week - Beastie Ribs

Beastie Ribs the Guinea pig is available for adoption at Boston's MSPCA-Angell!

Guinea pig lovers, have we got a sweet little piggie for you. Meet Beastie Ribs!

Beastie is a social girl who came to the MSPCA with several of her sisters. She's a docile rodent who squeaks in delight when humans enter the room and approach her cage. Because she's super-bonded with her two sisters they will need to be adopted together. Beastie and her siblings would make an excellent "starter pet" situation for the right family or individual.

Like all Guinea pigs, Beastie loves to hide and play - so she would appreciate cardboard tubes or empty coffee cans (smooth edges, please and thank you) in her enclosure.
