Malbec, 6-Month-Old Male Tricolor Guinea Pig
Friday may be Wine Day, but every day is perfect for Malbec! Greetings! My name is Malbec, and I'm a sweet 6-month-old tricolor guinea pig. I'm a shy boy but absolutely adorable. I'm inquisitive and love keeping an eye on things from my pigloo. I just love my hay and also enjoy treats like fruits and veggies (greens, carrots, bell peppers, berries). I just can't get enough of my greens - oh so yummy! Alfalfa treats also make a tasty snack. I enjoy having visitors, and I love it when you talk to me. I'm a good listener. If you set a treat outside my pigloo, I'll come grab it. I'm really fun to watch and I bet I can get you to smile. Are you ready to open your heart and home to a tiny cutie pie? I hope so because I'm looking for a new best pal. Why don't you make an appointment to come meet me? I'm pretty irresistible! Malbec and all his guinea pig friends at the AWLA have had their adoption fees pre-paid, so if you think it's time for a piggie pal (or two), schedule time to meet them by emailing [email protected] or calling 703.746.4774 (opt. 2).
