Balduin

Mixed Breed · Male

Male, neutered, born approximately 10/2025, indoor housing. Balduin is something very special—not only because he’s an albino, but also because of his personality. He’s very curious, especially when other guinea pigs take the first step; then he’s always right there joining in. However, he still finds humans quite scary and tries his best to avoid them at all costs. Often, you can observe him carrying small pieces of food into his hideout and eating them there in complete peace. Balduin can move into either a girls’ group or a boys’ group, or relocate together with his friend Falko.

DE·Show original

männlich, kastriert ca. 10/2025 geboren Innenhaltung Balduin ist etwas ganz Besonderes, nicht nur weil er ein Albino ist, sondern auch wegen seines Charakters. Er ist sehr neugierig, vor allem dann, wenn andere Meerschweinchen den ersten Schritt machen, dann ist er immer mit dabei. Menschen findet er jedoch noch sehr gruselig und versucht, ihnen mit allen Mitteln aus dem Weg zu gehen. Oft kann man ihn dabei beobachten, wie er kleine Futterstücke in seine Höhle trägt und sie dort in aller Ruhe verspeist. Balduin kann sowohl in eine Mädchengruppe als auch in eine Jungsgruppe ziehen oder gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Falko ausziehen.

About Balduin

What life with Balduin looks like

Balduin is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Speyer in Speyer.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Balduin far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Balduin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Balduin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Speyer handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Balduin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Balduin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Speyer will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Balduin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Balduin isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Speyer early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balduin and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
