About Choc and Chip
Meet Choc and Chip - this delightful guinea pig duo are best buddies with personalities that perfectly complement each other.
Both being naturally low-maintenance, friendly, playful, and independent, they are the perfect duo for those who appreciate the vibrancy of small-animal companionship.
Choc is the dominant but quieter of the two and tends to be a little shy around humans at first. Don't let that fool you though - she loves an exhilarating run through tunnels and isn't averse to a challenging obstacle course. Her flexibility and enthusiasm for fun surprises us every day.
Chip, on the other hand, is an extrovert. She's curious and vocal, with a love for food that is second to none. Nothing pleases her more than wheels or tunnels, and she can always be persuaded to enjoy a gentle pat in exchange for a delightful guinea pig treat.
Choc and Chip have a few favourite activities. They love burrowing under blankets, where they often find edible toys hidden for them. And like all guinea pigs, they adore their veggies. But, they do have a bit of a finicky palate; they may love a particular treat one day and turn up their noses the next but then again who else would eat the same treat day in and day out?!
They appreciate a consistent routine, which typically involves a feed and playtime around 8 AM, followed by a pleasant nap until late afternoon. From 4 PM to 7 PM, they're in high spirits - it's their official enclosure clean, reset, explore, and dinner time.
How do they express affection? Chip will likely popcorn (a unique guinea pig way to express happiness) enthusiastically when played with.
While they're not fond of being picked up, both Choc and Chip will happily cuddle when held for short periods.
Choc and Chip have an enchanting quality. Every day, their playful antics and adorable reactions never fail to make us smile. With attentive and consistent care, these guinea pigs will bring a multitude of joyful moments to their new family.
Their irresistible cuteness is genuinely heartwarming, and they are more than ready to share all that love with you - enquire today about adopting these two beautiful besties.

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s owner - the person who knows them best!
It’s a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
From here, the owner will be in touch with you to chat a bit more about their pet, and if they feel your home is the best fit, they will arrange a ‘meet and greet’ for you all to get to know each other.
Should this prove successful, arrangements will be made for the pet to move straight from its current home into yours upon payment of the adoption fee.
The adoption fee is paid directly to PetRescue (via a secure payment link), and assists us to continue to run and develop programs to assist pet owners, just like Home2Home.
Following adoption - change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on listing) will be provided.
