Adopt Meerschweinchen

Mixed Breed · Male

Our large group of guinea pigs consisted of 6 females and one neutered male. They came to us as breeding animals, as their owner unfortunately could no longer take care of them. Now, only one female and the male are still looking for a new home - that's why we would be happy if they could be rehomed as a pair. Meerschweinchen need a lot of space, with a minimum of two to three square meters of floor space for two animals, a running track of at least 2 meters should also be offered.

Unsere große Meerschweinchengruppe bestand aus 6 Weibchen und einem kastrierten Männchen. Sie kamen als Abgabetiere zu uns, da ihre Besitzerin sich leider nicht mehr um sie kümmern konnte. Inzwischen suchen nur noch ein Weibchen und das Männchen ein neues Zuhause - deshalb würden wir uns freuen, wenn sie als Pärchen vermittelt werden können. Meerschweinchen brauchen viel Platz, als Mindestmaß für zwei bis drei Tiere sollte man zwei Quadratmeter Grundfläche rechnen, wobei eine Rennstrecke von mind. 2 m angeboten werden sollte.

About Meerschweinchen

What life with Meerschweinchen looks like

Meerschweinchen is a large adult mixed breed rabbit waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇩🇪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 Meerschweinchen, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Meerschweinchen?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigsburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Meerschweinchen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Meerschweinchen if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigsburg 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 Meerschweinchen already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most rabbits 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 Meerschweinchen 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 Ludwigsburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Meerschweinchen 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.
