💚 ADOPTABLES OF THE “WHEEK!” 💚

Meet KitKat and Goku - two handsome brothers who were surrendered into our care back in July. At the time, we were told they were around two and a half years old. It’s taken a little while to list them for adoption, as Goku was initially quite dominant over KitKat, which caused KitKat some stress and led to a bout of mites.

Thankfully, he’s now been fully treated and Goku has since settled beautifully within the shelter. These boys are now ready for their forever home - but they’ll need plenty of space to thrive. They’re currently residing in a 1400 x 700mm setup, though we strongly recommend a 2x4 C&C with a loft, or ideally a 2x5 C&C to give them enough room to explore and keep the peace. They’re charming, cheeky, and full of character - everything you could want in a bonded pair of piggy brothers!

💚 WHY WE OFFER FREE HEALTH CHECKS 💚

While we offer grooming at minimal cost, we also provide FREE health checks — they’re an essential part of guinea pig ownership.

This post isn’t to shame anyone; it’s to help owners stay aware. Many simply don’t know what to look for when it comes to their piggies’ health — and that’s okay. That’s why we’re here.

Yesterday, two older boys came in for grooming. I was able to do one, but the other I refused to touch — because I could see grooming him would likely have killed him.

This family are allergic and unable to handle their piggies much. On closer inspection, I found a lump under this boy’s chin — the size of half a tennis ball. At first, I suspected a dental issue, but his teeth were perfect. Sadly, the lump was attached to his chest — and with my experience, I feared it was a tumour.

I’m not a vet and never will be, but after sixteen years in rescue I’ve seen and treated (with vet support) more sick piggies than I can count. With the owner’s consent, I gave him pain relief and enough medication to keep him comfortable until they could reach their vet for euthanasia.

Sadly, this little man passed away last night. At the very least, I’m grateful he had the medication and comfort during his final hours.

I did gently offer for these piggies to be surrendered into our care - but the family decided to keep them. I can only hope that sharing this story helps others realise how important it is to monitor their piggies closely and reach out when help is needed.

💚 This is why we offer free health checks.
I know what I’m looking at, I know which vets to refer you to in your area, and when needed, we have the right contacts to get your piggies help quickly.

I’m heartbroken for this piggy and his family. Life gets busy, and sometimes we miss things — but if we can make these health checks regular, maybe we can catch issues sooner.

💚 Please take advantage of our free health checks — it could save a life! 💚

🩵 Welcoming today’s surrenders 🩵

Originally, Fluffy had three buddies, but over time he sadly became the only one left. A caring young family member grew concerned about him being alone, and after much thought, they made the difficult decision to surrender him so he could find a new friend and home. Fluffy is around three years old - and oh, what a handsome fella he is!

Louie’s story is quite different. He was taken to a local vet after he and his expectant ex-wife were discovered in a home that had recently changed owners. You can only imagine the new residents’ surprise - sadly, this isn’t a rare occurrence. Louie was separated from his wife before she gave birth to two babies - one boy and one girl. In time, Louie’s son will also come here to the Lair, while Mum and daughter are now happily settled with one of the vet staff.

Welcome to the Lair life, boys! 🐹🐹

🛁 A Buddy Bath – Why Do It? What’s It For? 🛁

Sometimes a pair (or more!) of piggies will have a disagreement among themselves. Maybe one whispered something rude into the other’s ear 🤭 - who knows! Piggy friendships can be tricky at times.

When that happens, you might want to try a Buddy Bath.

💡 When to use it:
This isn’t for serious fights that draw blood - that’s a different situation altogether. But if they’ve just been a little grumpy or not seeing eye-to-eye, a Buddy Bath can help reset the balance.

It’s especially useful:
• When young males hit their “teen” stage and hormones are high.
• When females are cycling or have ovarian cysts (if ovarian cysts this requires spay surgery or a hormonal implant)

🧴 How To Do a Buddy Bath

• Wet both piggies down (avoid their heads)
• Lather both with a small-animal shampoo at the same time, mixing it up between them.
• For males (and some females) gently clean the grease gland this is located where a tail would be - you can use a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid for this area only
• For boys: check and clean the perineal sac and gently pop out and clean the p***s.
• Rinse together
• Towel dry together - even hair dry together!

💚 The Goal

Guinea pigs rely heavily on scent. The aim is to have them smell the same, which can help them relax and reconnect - sometimes saving a friendship before it truly falls apart!

📸 Pictured: Newly bonded TomTom and Squishy.
They’ve been together for 24 hours. At first there was plenty of teeth chattering and hu***ng (from both parties) but nothing serious. We supervised closely, and they eventually settled.

I’ve just given them a Buddy Bath in hopes of sealing the deal on this new friendship. 🤝

🐹 Extra Tip:
If one of your guinea pigs ever needs a vet visit, take their friend too! It helps prevent those “you smell different” fallouts afterwards.

🩵 Welcoming Our Latest Surrenders! 🩵

On Monday, both of these handsome lads came from the same home - though we were told they don’t get along. I know, right? Cute, fluffy little guys… with the tude! 😂

Sadly, like so many lately, their previous owner has been hit hard by the cost of living. We completely understand, and we’re so thankful to have such wonderful supporters of our shelter - without you, our rescues would be in the same boat. 😢

You might notice in the photo that their nails hadn’t been done yet - don’t worry, I took care of that straight after! Many people find nail trims tricky, and there’s no shame in it. We offer nail clipping for just $3 per piggy, so if you ever need a hand, give us a shout. ✂️🐹

Cheerio is around four years old, and Nacho is about three and a half. As with all new arrivals, they each receive medications twice daily for two weeks before their final health checks - then they’ll be ready for adoption once they’re cleared and settled. 💙 🩵

💚 YOU ALL DID THIS! 💚

Our brand-new industrial air-conditioning system is officially installed - thanks entirely to your incredible generosity and support!
Because of you, every piggy in our care will stay safe and cool through the scorching summer ahead. 🌡️🐹

From every whisker and paw at Miss Piggy’s Lair - thank you for making this possible. 🙏 💚

08/10/2025

YOU DID IT!!! 👏 🙏 👏

I am absolutely blown away by your kindness and support!

Our amazing community has not only reached our air-conditioning goal - you’ve smashed it by $173! 🥹💚

The new industrial system has been booked for 8:30am tomorrow morning! Right before this impending heat, we can now move forward knowing our rescues will stay safe and cool!🌡️🐹

A heartfelt thank you to every single person who donated, shared, and cheered us on - you’ve truly made a difference to the lives of so many little ones who depend on us.

If no one minds, we’d love to put the extra $173 towards our upcoming surgeries, which include a spay, a tumour removal and an X-Ray on little Peanut. 🥜

From the bottom of my heart (and paws) - thank you for helping us breathe easier… literally! 💚💚

💚 Have Good Vet, Will Travel - Seven Hours on the Road and Worth Every Minute 💚

In the past two days I’ve done seven hours of driving. But honestly, when you look at those faces, how could I not?

🚗 First up, Smiggle.
Smiggle is one of our permanent medicals due to her ongoing dental issues. Yesterday she required another dental, and I’m happy to say she’s doing much better now. A huge thank-you to Helene for sponsoring this brave little girl - your ongoing support truly makes a difference. 💚

🐹 Next up, Ginger.
Ginger is another of our permanent medicals. She’s had surgery in the past for bladder stones - has a hormonal implant to manage ovarian cysts and as she doesn’t handle surgery well. Today she needed what I believe was her third dental surgery. Sadly, with dentals, it’s not a choice; it’s either surgery or they pass away. Thank you so much to the Dewhurst family for sponsoring Ginger! 🧡

💚 Then came Charlie and Billy.
Charlie is in foster care with Carly and lives happily with her piggy, Billy. Charlie was originally surrendered because he needed a dental, and today it was Billy’s turn - so they both caught a ride down together, thankfully Charlie checked out okay.

🐾 And finally, little Marshall.
Marshall’s owners brought him in before heading off on holidays, concerned about a lump near his ni**le. I suspected a mammary tumour, and Liam confirmed this and has contacted his family with suggestion for his future

This isn’t the last of the surgeries to come - I’ll be chatting with Dr Liam shortly about organising the next round for some of our other piggies in need.

I also want to apologise for not getting back to everyone or updating the adoptables - it’s been a long couple of days.

Tomorrow we’ll be closed to play catch up behind the scenes - replying to messages, cleaning, restocking, and making sure everyone (including me!) gets back on top of things.

Thank you all so much for your patience, kindness, and continued support! 🙏
