🐹 CUTE PIGGIES ALERT! 🐹

Our team at the Gold Coast office have recently adopted a couple of super cute girls from Cavy Angel's Guinea Pig Rescue Inc and we need your help naming them 😍

They love their veggies and having lots of cuddles with all the staff, if you pop by our warehouse outlet in Coomera, QLD you may even see them in one of our demo Ozzy Cages 😁

We’d love to hear your name suggestions in the comments below 👇

💞 BONDING WITH YOUR PIGGY 💞

Regular interaction with your pet doesn't always have to involve picking them up for cuddles to build trust. Spend time near your piggies' enclosure every day, talking softly to them to get them accustomed to your presence.

Take time to sit and watch them go about their day - you'll learn their personality quirks, which hideys they prefer and who makes the best piggy pancake at nap time! Maybe even read them a few pages from your favourite book - we hear 'Hairy Potter' is a firm favourite amongst piggy circles 😉

Happy Wheekend all!

💞 BONDING WITH YOUR PIGGY 💞

Respecting your guinea pig's space is crucial as it helps build trust and a sense of security for your pet. Intruding on their space continuously and/or unnecessarily can cause them to feel anxious, threatened and stressed. Guinea pigs that are highly skittish or 'bitey' can often be a result of this, which is no fun for owner or pet!

Allowing your pet to come to you in their own time where possible helps them to feel comfortable & reduces stress, making for a much happier and calmer floofball! 🥰

Guest Speaker Post!

Today we have the amazing Racheal from Guinea Pig Gardens writing our blog post all about those fluffy Texel Piggies 😄 We’d love to see your floofy texels in the comments below ⬇️

🐹Texel Guinea Pigs 🐹

Texel guinea pigs are an increasingly popular breed that originated in England from crossing a Rex with a Sheltie guinea pig. This is how they obtained they’re long wavy hair. Although the hair on they’re body will constantly grow, the hair on they’re face will not. They come in many colours. 🐹

Merino is a very similar breed only they have a crest on they’re forehead. It is believed this breed came about from crossing a Rex with a Coronet guinea pig. This breed requires the same attention as that of a Texel. 🐹

Both of these are long haired breed’s so they DO require more time & maintenance. If you choose to grow your Merino/Texel’s hair you should be brushing it at least once a day & keeping the hair trimmed around the ears, eyes, along the stomach & ge****ls. This prevent’s poops, hay or urine from matting the hair. Ear wax will also build up a lot quicker so I would recommend keeping the ear hair trimmed & cleaning the ears with a cotton bud & coconut oil every 3 months. 🐹 Trimming the hair around the eyes is also very important.
These breed’s are very susceptible to heat stroke in hotter climates. I would highly recommend that these piggy’s are kept indoors for 80% of the year unless you live in a cold climate or are able to closely monitor them. ☺️

I personally absolutely adore this breed, it is by far my favourite. I have found this breed is one of the most trusting, confident & affectionate. Don’t get me wrong, each guinea pig has it’s individual personality & genetics. So that will play a part in each of them, as well as how much time you spend with them. But overall these are fantastic breed’s & I would recommend them for anyone who has the time to put into taking care of them as you will be greatly rewarded with they’re love & trust. 🥰🐹
Here are some photos of my Texel & Merino piggy’s below as well as a few i’ve previously bred.
