PeanutButterPigs Guinea Pig Rescue was created out of a deep love for guinea pigs and in honor of a special little piggy named Biscuit. In August 2016, we brought home our first guinea pig—a tiny little bean, probably less than a month old. Like many new owners, we bought her on impulse and had difficulty finding reliable resources on how to care for her properly. Despite a rough start, Biscuit’s sassy personality and zest for life inspired us to do better and ensure she had the best care imaginable.
As we learned more about guinea pigs, we rescued her cagemate, and our love for these little potatoes truly grew. Biscuit’s life, especially when she developed cardiovascular disease as a senior, taught us how much attention and care guinea pigs can require. Years later, as shelters became overwhelmed, we took in abandoned guinea pigs with nowhere else to go. Even through the toughest moments, we knew we couldn’t stop helping these incredible animals.
We formed PeanutButterPigs Guinea Pig Rescue soon after with the goal of helping guinea pigs in need & using our knowledge to help new owners start prepared with everything they need to succeed.
