HARTFORD - Sisters Calista and Melissa are 1-year-old Guinea pigs!
They weigh just under 2 pounds and were surrendered to the Connecticut Humane Society because their owner had allergies.
Guinea pigs like to explore places they are familiar with.
They could live with a female friend because they like to live in small groups, but they can also live alone.
They will need special food and fresh veggies and can live 6-8 years with proper care.
For more information on Calista, Melissa or other pets that need homes, contact the CT Humane Society.
