Rhyme

Species: Guinea pig
Status: Sanctuary resident

Rhyme, a long-haired white and grey guinea pig, surrounded by herd members in a hay-filled enclosure Rhyme (centre, long white hair) with some of her herd.

Rhyme is the mom of Hero, Caper, and Ziggy — and the other half of one of HALT's most notable family lines. She lives with the big herd alongside Gothic, her former partner, and several other long-term residents.

Her Family​

Rhyme's son Hero is a lethal white guinea pig who lives in the sanctuary and is approaching his first birthday. Her son Ziggy, who has no health issues, lives with board member Alanna. And her son Caper passed away at just a few months old.

With Gothic now facing a serious health situation, Rhyme's family is very much at the heart of what HALT is carrying right now. She is surrounded by her herd, and she is loved.
