Celebrate March as 'Adopt-a-Rescued Guinea Pig' month by adopting a small animal from Randolph Animal Pound

Did you know that March is "Adopt-A-Rescued Guinea Pig Month"?  When most people think about adopting rescue animals, small pets like the guinea pig don't often come to mind. The Randolph Animal Pound at 1345 Sussex Turnpike now has a small animal rescue program which includes guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and more.

If you're not ready to adopt a cat or dog, maybe a smaller animal is a sensible alternative to pet ownership. Although guinea pigs are in the rodent family, they're cute, cuddly -- and lovable. Guinea pigs like to be held and played with, plus they're pretty low maintenance in the care department.

The only obligations you have as a guinea pig owner are to feed the pet, play with them and make sure they have sufficient drinking water and a clean enclosure. Guinea pigs can be fed a brand of guinea pig mix readily available at pet food stores. They also enjoy eating vegetables.
