This is Frances and she arrived here this afternoon. She is 4 years old and has spent the last 2 years on her own. We have offered her a home here so she will have friends for the rest of her life 🩷
Companionship and cages.
Guinea pigs need company and are natural herd animals. They also need a decent sized setup. We recommend a minimum of 2x5 grid c and c cage for 2 piggies. Over the years we seen awful cages - piggies in paddling pools, hamster cages, fish tanks and more!
Day 3 of Guinea Pig Awareness Week .
We’ve covered hay and veg already so I thought I’d tackle the controversial one - nuggets!
Essentially piggies don’t need nuggets/ commercial guinea pig food. Shock. If you fed enough hay, forage and veg they don’t actually need them.
Day 2 of Guinea Pig Awareness Week
Let’s talk veggies!! VARIETY is key!! We feed a minimum of 3 different veggies a day and at least 10+ varieties a week. Veg should make up 10-15% of their daily diet. Piggies, like humans cannot make their own vitamin c. #guineapigawarenessweek
It’s Guinea pig awareness week!!!
Let’s start with HAY.
Hay should be at least 80% of your guinea pigs daily diet. It’s should be in big piles so that they can forage through it.
Hay is essential for digestion and wearing down the teeth.
We use 5 bales of hay a week!
Hay is life
Welcome Willow, Maggie and Delilah🩷🩷🩷 Their owner’s health has declined and they needed a safe place for these 3 much loved girls. They are super friendly and will join one of our herds once they have been quarantined 🩷🩷🩷

The most beautiful girl called Maria has joined us today. Unfortunately her buddy passed away so she was in need of company. As you can see she has a head tilt and she’s also deaf.🩷 We’re a bit under the weather here as the youngest humans have brought the lurgy home from school

It’s raining here so I’m in The Hive which is our quarantine/hospital building. Just cleaning and chatting to the piggies ❤️
Over the last few days we’ve health checked, ivermectin and nail trimmed over 100++ piggies here at the sanctuary!! Photos are Holly and Thelma ❤️❤️
Rusty is a 6 year old lady that joined us yesterday. She’s come here to retire after the loss of her buddies. Our retirement spaces are now very limited. We also have no boar/male piggy spaces available. This is due to lack of funds.
