The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has a collection of guinea pigs who don’t want to fight for attention.

In other words, guinea pigs Paper, Scissors, Polka and Rock are looking to be adopted to new homes, and prefer not to share with each other, AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow.

“Guinea pigs are fun, smart and social animals, who can be trained to do tricks and love hanging out with their human companions,” Hardter said. “Each of these piggies would love to be the king of their own castle, so they would prefer not to share with each other.”
