Meet Spunky Daughter Potato and Mama Tofu
This delightful guinea pig duo is looking for a loving forever home where they can stay together.
Tofu is a gentle soul who thrives in a calm, quiet environment. She's shy by nature and prefers to observe the world from the safety of her favorite hidey spot. While she isn't fond of being picked up, once she's settled on your lap, she enjoys gentle petting and brushing sessions. Tofu is also a little foodie-she can't resist crunchy greens and will happily emerge from her hideout for a tasty treat.
Potato, on the other hand, is bold and outgoing! She's always the first to the side of the cage with cheerful wheeks, especially when she suspects veggies are on the way. Curious and confident, Potato loves exploring new tunnels and toys, and she doesn't hesitate to nudge her mom aside for the best bites. Though their personalities are different, Tofu and Potato are a bonded pair who bring out the best in each other. You'll often find them snuggled up together, sharing naps and snacks. If you're looking for the perfect balance of quiet sweetness and curious energy, these two would make a lovely addition to your family.
