Hi, I’m Milo

Milo's Special Needs
Milo's partial blindness means he may need a little extra patience when adjusting to new environments. He thrives in a calm, predictable space and would do best with a family who understands his needs and can provide a secure enclosure without hazards.

🏡 Basic Care for Guinea Pigs
Guinea pigs are social, intelligent animals that require daily care and attention. Here are the essentials:

Housing: A spacious cage (minimum 120 x 60 cm) with solid flooring, lined with soft bedding such as paper-based or fleece liners. Avoid wire floors.

Companionship: Guinea pigs are herd animals and do best with a friend. Milo may enjoy the company of another gentle guinea pig, provided introductions are done slowly and safely.

Exercise: Daily floor time in a safe, enclosed area to stretch his legs and explore.

🥕 Diet Essentials
A healthy guinea pig diet is the foundation of their wellbeing:

Hay: Unlimited fresh timothy hay (or other grass hays) for digestion and dental health.

Pellets: A measured portion of guinea pig-specific pellets fortified with Vitamin C.

Fresh Vegetables: Daily servings of leafy greens (like romaine lettuce, coriander, kale in moderation) plus colorful veggies such as capsicum, carrot slices, or cucumber.

Vitamin C: Guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C, so it must be provided through diet.

Water: Fresh, clean water available at all times in a bottle or heavy dish.

💕 Why Adopt Milo?
Milo is a resilient little soul who will reward his new family with endless love and companionship. His gentle nature and quirky charm make him a wonderful addition to any guinea pig-loving household. With the right care, Milo will thrive and bring joy for years to come.
