These brothers are looking to find their new family.

Guinea pig brothers Teddy and Magnus enjoy a large space to run around and play before eating their favourite snack: vegetables.

"They can be a bit shy but with some patience, they are sure to warm up and become great companions for a lucky adopter," said Chelsea Taylor, branch manager of the Vernon and District SPCA. "They are much more comfortable with staff here at the shelter and with gentle handling will continue to come out of their shells."
