More About Rosie: Where I Live, What I Eat
My Best Friend: Winnie
Other Cagemates: Baby Roo, JuneBug
Rosie the guinea pig was adopted on Saturday, June 6, 2015, from PGPR, a Portland-Oregon based network of volunteers.
Since she arrived to HappyCavy, she was best friends with her cage-mate Winnie.
Rosie was a shy girl, and would have rather hidden in her pigloo than make a big scene. Fortunately, with Winnie as a friend and after meeting new cagemates JuneBug and Baby Roo, she learned to come out of her shell and warmed up to her human caretakers.
