Older pairings do work…

Last Saturday I had a “oops” moment 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I arranged a trial with Caramel’s (right) family - but forgot to tell them to actually bring four year old Caramel! A classic me-move… just because I know what I’m talking about, I assume everyone else does too. 😅

The plan was to introduce Jerry (left), who is also four years old, to see if he and Caramel would make a good match. Since Caramel wasn’t there, Jerry went home with the Turner family instead… and well, the proof is in the pig-ture!

The two hit it off beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. 🥰

A little background on Jerry: he came to us as part of a trio of males. While trios can sometimes work, they’re quite rare, Jerry was very dominant with his previous friends - even picking on one of them. We adopted his two pals out together into a loving home, which left Jerry searching for his perfect companion. And on Saturday, he found him in Caramel!

A big thank you to the Turner family for being so understanding of my forgetfulness - and for choosing adoption. 💚

Three blind Guinea pigs 🐹🐹🐹

You’ve heard of the three blind mice - well, this is the Lair’s version!

Many of you will remember Snowy (rough coat Lethal) who recently lost her sister Bella to lymphoma. While it was heartbreaking to say goodbye, Snowy has since found comfort in the company of Ebony and Ivory. These three now share a beautiful bond, reminding us just how resilient guinea pigs can be. 💕

Here at the Lair, we care for many piggies who are blind - but only four are Lethal Whites.

⚠️ What is a Lethal White?

A lethal white results from breeding two Guinea Pigs, each carrying a single copy of the roan gene, which causes white spotting or flecking in their coat. When both parents pass on their copy of the gene, the offspring inherits two copies, becoming a "double merle" with severe health issues like blindness, deafness, and dental issues.

Breeding two roan or Dalmatian guinea pigs together carries a 25% chance of producing a lethal white offspring.

And yet, with the right care, Lethal Whites thrive. They play, popcorn, seek out cuddles, and live life with just as much joy as any other piggy. They simply need patience, understanding, and love. 🥰

All Lethal Whites hold a very special place in my heart, and we are committed to giving them the safe, happy lives they deserve.

A huge thank you to Sophie, Trish, and Simone for sponsoring this special trio—you are helping us make that promise a reality. 💖

Introducing our latest surrenders…

We’ve welcomed some very special little ones into our care, each with their own unique story.

✨ Olive, Violet & Clover
These three sweet ladies were originally adopted from us and first came into our care back in January 2024 at around two years of age. Sadly, their new family’s circumstances have since changed, and they made the heartfelt decision to return them. We’re grateful they trusted us to take the trio back in, and it’s lovely to see their little faces again.

✨ Archie & Dawn
Archie was adopted in October 2022, and after losing his first buddy, he gained Dawn - whom we humanely trapped in a local park in February 2024. Unfortunately, their owner’s autoimmune condition worsened, making it impossible to continue with their care. Since returning, we’ve noticed Archie and Dawn aren’t the happiest of pairs - they coexist peacefully but without much spark. Given Dawn’s shy past and Archie’s indifference, we may need to explore better matches for each of them in the future.

✨ Lovey & Lily
These lovely girls are around three years old. During their health checks, we discovered Lovey has mites, so she’s already started treatment. As always, new arrivals are placed on preventative medications to make sure no nasties are passed along.

✨ Nitro & Chunga
At just two years of age, these boys have already been passed around. Their previous family took them in from a friend but, already caring for four guinea pigs, found the workload overwhelming. We’re glad they’ve now landed safely with us.

✨ Penny & Peppa
Oh, these two! 💕 Purchased originally for their surrender family’s brother, they eventually ended up under the care of his sister, who quickly fell in love with them. Sadly, due to an upcoming move and a demanding work schedule, she had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender them. These girls are simply adorable - we’re smitten already!

🌿 A warm welcome to Olive, Violet, Clover, Archie, Dawn, Lovey, Lily, Nitro, Chunga, Penny, and Peppa. We promise them safety, care, and love as they begin their next chapter with us. 💚 🐹

Henri is enjoying his favourite treat! 🍓

This little “tripod” came into our care in early February 2023 at three years of age. Sadly, Henri was suffering from severe bumblefoot - so severe that his entire limb had to be surgically removed without delay - as the infection had already begun to spread up his leg.

Despite it all, Henri lives happily with his best buddy Waffles, and he is one of thirty-two permanent medicals in our care.

We love you, Henri!

A very special thank you goes out to the MacDonald family for generously sponsoring him since the day he arrived.

What’s your piggies favourite treat? 🍎 🍉 🫐

Older males can be paired together - Cookie and Christopher are living proof! Both boys were four years old and came to us from different families and situations. Despite that, they bonded here in the shelter like brothers from another mother.

After living happily together for about a year at the Lair, they finally found their forever home with the loving Haden family. Thomas and his daughter joined us for a tour just a few weeks ago and fell head over heels for these fortunate fellows!

⸻

Why older males may not get along…
Sometimes older males can be harder to pair, especially if they’ve been used for breeding. Once a male has lived with females, it’s rare that he’ll happily accept another male.

Other reasons may include:

• Lack of space within their enclosure
• Past negative experiences with other guinea pigs
• Strong, dominant personalities that clash

Neutering is always an option if all else fails. I used to be a big believer that de-s*xing a male only made way for them to accept a female. Our des*xed males have since proved my theory wrong! Many of our des*xed males that wouldn’t accept another male as a friend prior to des*xing have easily accepted another of the same s*x afterwards!

⸻

Thinking about a companion for your older boar?
If you have a single male and are considering a new pal, I highly recommend contacting your nearest shelter to arrange a bonding trial. While a baby male may sometimes work, ask yourself: am I prepared to keep that cycle going once the baby matures?

At the end of the day, it’s much less about age and much more about personality compatibility. 💚🩵

One of our many memes stolen by the bots, I’ve decided to reshare it with our brand new watermark smack bang in the middle! 😂

The bots (so far) are as follows:

Lauri A. Shipp
Estella K. Power
Jaime D. Knickerbocker
Elinore S.Jarvisno

Yes, I am aware this isn’t going to stop and it is going to become worse. But there is one thing they’ll never be able to steal from me…
The memories I had with this precious piggy named Joe (pig-tured) and my lips! 💋 😂
