June 2017 Pet of the Month: Lulu & Ketchup

Human Companion: Joshua Robertson
Name of Pets: Lulu & Ketchup
Type/Breed: Guinea Pigs
Age: 3

Your pets’ favourite pastime: Devouring fresh veggies and bushels of hay.

Favourite thing about your pet: They are small packages with two tonnes of personality. Inspiration can be found in their singular focus towards eating.

Interesting facts: They are diurnal (awake during the day). Lulu’s breed is mostly hairless and goes by the name of Skinny Pigs (sometimes House Hippos). Ketchup’s breed is called Cuy (meaning she is on the rotund end of the Pig spectrum). On warm days they like to hang out in the backyard (hidden from sight in their caves). They are effective mini-mowers.

Origin story: Both Pigs were adopted from small breed rescue societies. If you are considering bringing a little fur-ball (or fur-less) into your life, check these groups out!
