NEW ARRIVALS: Guinea Pig's Rocky[left] and Twix are new arrivals at the BC SPCA-Powell River branch. Folks can take the pre-adoption questionnaire to see if these two very social brothers are a right fit.

Two adorable two-year-old guinea pigs named Rocky and Twix recently arrived at the BC SPCA-Powell River branch, located at 7558 Duncan Street.

The dynamic duo are described as being super chill and wildly social. They enjoy being held and are happy to accept gentle head pets. 

Curious in nature and up for adventure, the duo also have unique personalities.

According to BC SPCA-Powell River, Rocky is really outgoing and always looking for a treat, and he loves his veggie snacks. Twix is sweet and smart, with the motto, work smarter not harder.

These boys are excellent at finding dried strawberries in their snuffle mat and are pretty agile for guinea pigs; it’s not unusual to find one of them perched on top of a hidey-hut surveying the centre for potential snack bringers.

Fill out an online pre-adoption Rabbit, Guinea Pig, Hamster, Rat, Mouse and Gerbil Pre-Adoption Questionnaire or call BC SPCA-Powell River at 604.485.9252 to learn more about the brothers.
