Raffa – Guinea Pig

  • Male
  • 6 months old (dob 23/06/2025)
  • Arrived with us 8th October (110 days ago)
  • Being fostered in Congleton
  • Log number PG27 8/10/25

We realise not everyone is in a position to adopt a companion, so why not take a look at our virtual adoption scheme …..


Raffa came in with his brother when they were three months old. Their owner contacted us for help as she, and her daughter, were very allergic to them; despite trying everything they couldn’t get on top of it. Unfortunately, the brothers started fighting so had to be separated. We’ve since had them neutered and Raffa is now ready for a new start with a female (or a few) for company!

Fosterer’s update:

Raffa is a very cute Rex guinea pig with short, fuzzy fur. He’s white apart from black markings on his face and a round black patch on his back. He’s extremely curious and loves climbing on anything he can find in his run. He can still be nervous but, with regular handling, he will continue to become more tame and confident.

Raffa is still very skittish and probably needs more experienced (and patient owners) …I’m trying to tame him, so hopefully, he’ll improve with time.

 Male guinea pigs require a MINIMUM 6 X 2 foot indoor C and C Enclosure. The more space the better!
