Our Guinea pig ladies are ready to begin the search for their forever homes. Surrendered due to a change in the owners circumstances they have settled into our small animal unit really well.
The adults Felt (1 year old), Silk(1 year) and Agatha are super friendly once they get to know you. Pins (5 months), while still a bit more cautious, is slowly coming round to the idea that being held isn't the worst thing in the world.
As with all our Guinea Pigs they must live as part of the family and in appropriately sized enclosures (no two storey stacked cages or hutches and a minimum of 4ft x 6ft floor space for 2 guinea pigs).

We are looking to home them in pairs or as a herd, except for the older lady Agatha as she is not a fan of sharing her space. Yes, we know they are supposed to live in pairs, we know they are social creatures but any attempts to bond her with any other piggies have resulted in bloodshed and vet work in her previous home and all attempts here have shown us, quite clearly, that she is not interested in company other than human. She also has no interest in interacting with either of the neutered males we have, despite many many attempts.

At 6 years old, and only ever successfully living with one other guinea pig who passed away a couple of years ago, we don't want to add to her stress and so a quiet stress free home with no other piggies is what Agatha is hoping for.
