The amazing Juan Julio (or JJ for short) is as inquisitive as he is adorable. You'll melt with his little chirps, chutters, and weets. He can be a little shy at first but tempt him with veggies and he's your friend in no time. To help his confidence and trust with people, he is quickly learning target and clicker training. No expertise needed! He'll do anything for food. He's even learning to use puzzle toys! If a dog or cat is a little too daunting, guinea pigs like JJ make for very rewarding pets.
New to piggies? They are social creatures and love routine. JJ's day consists of...
Quick cage spot clean
Refresh his hay - listen for his little "weet weets" when he hears a bag
Veggies + fruit - perfect time to bond with hand feeding and tricks
A little lap + treat time
Exploration! JJ loves to stretch his legs outside his cage
Another round of veggies, puzzle toy, trick time then off to bed
JJ is solo right now but if you are looking to pair your pig or get a pair, piggies LOVE company. He shows interest in my cats and dog, greeting through the fence, but let's play it safe. JJ has so much more to learn and explore so if you want a fun, low-key companion, he may be the one for you!
History
JJ was surrendered to Pets in Need when their owner could no longer care for them and wanted the best for them.
