The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary (for guinea pigs with extra needs)

The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary (for guinea pigs with extra needs) A specialist sanctuary supporting guinea pigs with extra needs - primarily dental. Registered Charity Debbie Postles - Director. Emma-Jane Hartley - Director.

Andrew Hartley - Trustee. Catherine Wholey - Trustee. Emma Gordon - Trustee. Jennifer Cox - Trustee. Steve Turner - Trustee/Charity Treasurer. The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary enables guinea pigs who have ongoing medical issues to live a normal, happy life, whilst they receive the veterinary care they need. The Sanctuary specialises in the management of dental issues and the results achieved have

been amazing! All veterinary treatment is carried out by Simon and Kim Maddock of the Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic, Northampton. However, to enable this service to be offered to even more piggies with extra needs, funds need to be raised. Places at the Sanctuary can be offered on a short term, long term or permanent basis and the programme of supportive care is individually tailored to each piggy's needs.

Pootle is no longer needing syringe food and is eating well for herself! She wipes her little mouth after every mouthful! So cute! 🥰

We have a new member of our TEAS family! Meet Pootle! ❤️ She arrived yesterday morning and saw Simon yesterday afternoon! She hasn’t stopped eating since! 😄

I love boar/boar bonds! Stitch and Jiggy are both doing well and have gained weight! They’ve only been together a few weeks but they have such a close friendship! 💙💙

Popcorn and Hei Hei are such happy boys!

Popcorn has neurological issues and has poor head control, but as you can see, it doesn’t stop him from enjoying life and doing normal piggy things! Sadly something happened to him, when he was a classroom piggy, but luckily a member of staff at the school saved him and contacted us!

Hei Hei is a lethal gene piggy, but unlike his twin sister, Cutie Pie, who has dental problems, Hei Hei’s teeth are normal.

💙💙

Rudy is still very happy having lady friends to love! I think they’re very happy with him too, although they enjoy having some time away from him, when they go to visit the other man in their life (uncle Simon). Rudy gets a bit over excited and silly when three of them are in a pet carrier together, so having a girly trip out is preferable! ❤️❤️💙

We are currently receiving a lot of requests for rescue places, particularly for lone piggies, who have lost their cage mate, where owner doesn’t want to keep the cycle going of piggy ownership, but also doesn’t want their remaining guinea pig to live out their life alone. I fully understand this and wish we could help! However, we are full to capacity and although we could probably squeeze in a piggy with dental disease, as that’s what we are set up to do, we are currently unable to take any further rescue/rehome guinea pigs!

If you are looking to adopt a guinea pig, please check out our ‘Guinea pigs for adoption page’ here!

Another update on piggies who are doing really well! Lethal gene boy, Hei Hei (Cutie Pie’s twin brother) and Popcorn, who has neurological issues, are both happy and not currently needing any ongoing veterinary treatment! They love to wind each other up, but will then cuddle up together! 💙💙

Blitzen is making great progress and getting much bigger, since his visit to Uncle Simon! As he’s got some missing incisors, he will need regular treatment, as the remaining incisors have nothing to wear against, so will get too long, if left, but he’s so happy that he can now eat hay! Uncle Leander has really stepped up and is teaching Blitzen lots, whilst Daddy Monkey is there for lots of cuddles! Such a lovely trio of boys! 💙💙💙

I haven’t given any Shelly updates for a while! As you can see, she’s enjoying life with her friends and her dental issues have cured! ❤️❤️❤️💙

It’s like they’ve always been together! 💙💙

What shall I do today? Bereaved boars bonding!

Stitch and Jiggy have both recently lost their little friends, so I’m hoping that out of their sadness can come some happiness! 💙💙

So far, so good!
