Mabel is a sweet and friendly 10-month-old, gray-and-white female guinea pig. Guinea pigs are great pets for all ages.

Mabel loves carrots, dark leafy greens and apples. She likes to chew on apple wood sticks and other untreated wooden toys. She also enjoys burrowing in Timothy Hay or hiding in her little plastic house. She gets very excited at dinner time and even sings and squeals for her food.

About this column: Each week, the Animal Rescue League of Boston will feature a dog, cat or other guest of theirs you can adopt. The ARL rescues animals from Beacon Hill and surrounding communities. To adopt a pet, visit the league's website, call Adoption Services at 617-426-9170, or send an e-mail to adoption@arlboston.org. Related Topics: Pet Of The Week
