Livia Rabideau
Adult Guinea Pig
I just took in a new piggy today. Her name is Korra. She is over a year old. She has lived in a tiny cage for her whole life so far. The woman I got her from was so sweet. They did not want her anymore and wanted a loving home for her. I give them credit for giving her up. Her feet are red which I am sure will improve quickly as this was the case with another rescue of mine. I have built a 2 by 4 c and c cage for her. She will stay there for a couple of weeks until I know she is healthy. She is now on fleece except for shavings in the kitchen area. My concern is that she keeps poking her head through the cage squares. I have never had a piggy do this before. Will she get her head stuck? I put cardboard up a bit higher to hopefully keep her from doing this. She is a known escape artist I guess, so I have made a secure lid on the cage. She keeps doing zoomies like crazy. She is very skittish. Please tell me she won't get her head stuck. It's her first night with me. The grids I use have nine squares across. Thank you!
