Name: Monty
Sex: Male (not desexed)
Age:
History: Monty was surrendered on 7th June 2020 with his female cage mate Milkshake. He was suffering from a fungal skin condition and both guinea pigs were badly malnourished. They had been living in a small birdcage on filthy bedding and were being fed a nutritionally inadequte diet. Monty has lived in his own cage since being surrendered and no intros have been done with other males so I’m not sure if he’s open to male companionship but I’d like to give him the opportunity to have a new friend and his own loving forever home.
