Dolly the Guinea Pig, the Pet of the Day
Name: Dolly
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Guinea Pig mix
Home: Boston, England, UK
 
   Dolly was rescued, along with her sister Molly, from a pet shop in Boston, England. She was in a small cage surrounded by larger rabbits that were jumping all over her. She was venturing out, to protect her smaller sister. Her courage impressed us, so we bought them both. She was only very young, about six weeks, but we had an older guinea pig, Tammy who adopted them both and treated them like her own babies, teaching them all the things that guinea pigs should know. They both settled down quickly and grew to be beautiful, loving pets.

     They are kept in the house, with two different cages, one for night one for day, and love to exercise in our garden or on wet days in our conservatory. Dolly is very confident and likes to be in charge of the group. When she is offered a treat, or given her food, she will offer her paw to say 'thanks'. It was some eighteen months ago now when another guinea pig, Peppa was brought home to join the family. Dolly promptly adopted the youngster and became like a mother to her. Dolly is long haired, very pretty and friendly to both humans and other guinea pigs.
