Jennifer Nelson, American guinea pigs, Franklinton, North Carolina, Franklin County and the Piedmont near Raleigh. Nelson has dedicated several years to breeding robust American guinea pigs under guidelines set by national small animal associations.

Her animals live in climate-controlled indoor shelters attached to secure outdoor runs, where regular handling by household members fosters calm, social temperaments. Litters are documented and registered through recognized small animal clubs, with each piglet receiving routine veterinary screenings and genetic health tests common to the breed. Daily enrichment includes tunnels, chew blocks, and mixed forage to encourage natural foraging behaviors and mental stimulation. Piglets are introduced to household sounds and gentle handling from an early age to support seamless integration into new homes.

Jennifer balances their diet with local hay, fortified pellets, and fresh leafy greens, adjusting rations based on individual needs and seasonal changes. Local farmers and pet owners alike note the pigs’ glossy coats and trusting nature, a testament to thoughtful husbandry and long-term commitment to the breed.
