In honour of Back to Hogwarts day yesterday, here is gorgeous boarder Dumbledore 🪄

26/08/2024

And some of our smaller boarders...

11/08/2024

Not sure what this hamster has got planned for tonight, but I feel I should be worried!

09/08/2024

We are officially full. Current headcount:
27 guinea pigs
3 rabbits
2 tortoises
1 hamster

Not forgetting my own 2 guinea pigs, budgie...and a husband 😂🥰

Pretty sure this boarding piggy is a cross between a red panda and a spectacle bear 🤔

Today my application for a registered trademark for Wheek Away ® was granted 😄 You will start seeing the little ® by our name as I update our platforms to show it is a registered trademark and therefore refers to the original Wheek Away 😊

Its my Birthday today and the girls got me this 🤷‍♀️😂...just have to teach them to use it themselves now !

Has anyone lost a rabbit?

This neutered male was brought in to us yesterday, he was found on Birchwood Lane, Alfreton.

Please share so we can find his owner. Thank you as always 🐇 🐰

Due to popular demand I am opening the 2025 diary today!

01/07/2024

Well Glastonbury maybe over for another year, but at Wheek Away it's still in full swing with Hattie and Fifi taking to the Pigamid Stage 🎶😅

24/06/2024

Back off our own Wheek Away and straight back into it. It's super hot and humid outside today so please dont leave your furbabies in a hutch, in the sun, or in plastic pigloos.

08/06/2024

Cuteness Alert! We've got some windswept Ewoks in 😂😍🐇

25/05/2024

We are fully booked for half term and I have been spending the past couple of day settling in our boarders. Current headcount is 20 guinea pigs, 2 rabbits and 2 hamsters.
I've taken a few headshots of the more obliging piggies 🥰

19/05/2024

When it's just a bit too hot so you have to sleep with your legs out from under the covers 😅 (our very own Hattie pig)

16/05/2024

When your moulting pattern gives you eyebrows 🤭. This is our current house boarding bunny 🥰

11/05/2024

5x the trouble! A group of 5, that's 5, rabbits are staying with us this week and of course one of them is on various medications 🫣. We've used both hutches and created one big run area between. Their owners are moving house this week 😊

20/04/2024

Had some helpers with my diary admin....we are filling up fast, particularly the May & summer holidays. We have 2 guinea pig cages left for May half term, and we are currently fully booked 10th to 17th August for all animals.

14/04/2024

Today we were in Doncaster showing support for the guinea pig rescue Cavy Corner by attending their fun pet show fundraiser. The stalls there were full of brilliant products, many homemade, and we did our bit for the fundraising by purchasing quite a few things...including cake 😁

11/04/2024

I've been beavering away at the computer this week and we've finally got a mobile version of our website live 👏😁 which should be much easier to read on mobile devices 🤩 There will be a few updates and tweaks over the next few days.

06/04/2024

OMG! WHEEK AWAY is 10 YEARS OLD today!
10 years of Wheek Away is the thing I am most proud of (yes, more than any of my academic achievements), but really I have to thank YOU, the furbaby parents, for chosing to bring your gorgeous furbabies here for their holidays 🥰
Now I must dash, there's 26 guinea pigs wanting their breakfast and you know how distracting that is! 😂🤗

29/03/2024

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND EVERYBODY! Here is just a selection of the gorgeous furbabies staying with us over the break ☺️ And their owners have gone to some fabulous destinations such as Gran Canaria, Morocco and South Africa! Hopefully for a little more sunshine than we're having here 🌦

23/03/2024

! We have a rare, last minute opening for Easter boarding for a pair of guinea pigs!

20/03/2024

EASTER AVAILABILITY 🐇🐰
We were full over Easter weekend, however, one of our outdoor bunny hutches has become available for the Easter break.

18/03/2024

Stocking up for Easter. Got my happy (😬) helper 😂.
As there is a supply chain issue with megazorb at the moment so we're using Aubiose bedding for now.

16/03/2024

Rock and roll Saturday night with my furbaby, Hattie. Familiar scene?

01/03/2024

We often get asked if we have any pets. Our current headcount is three.
We have our two Cavy Corner girls, Hattie & Fifi, and Kiwi the budgie who is very taken with them 🥰

22/02/2024

Gorgeous ginger girls 🥰

18/02/2024

And about even more hay!

18/02/2024

It's all about the fresh hay 😚

17/02/2024

What happens when the lights go out in the piggery... the piggies keep eating of course! 😂

We currently have 22 gorgeous piggies staying with us, but Jack pig might just be the star of the week as he gives lovely kisses 😘🥰

Apparently breakfast wasn't coming quick enough!

Just some beautiful ladies who are staying with us 😍

Gorgeous boarding girls. Coats like plush velvet 🥰🥰🥰

Going to work in the morning 🥰 . Piggies all ready for breakfast veg!

Check out these two gorgeous werewolf guinea pig boars. These are guinea pigs were the skinny pig gene isn't fully expressed so they still have some fur 🥰

Sunny Saturday with the bunny boarders 😎🐇

Up close and personal part 1 🧐

Our Easter boarders have started to arrive and we have babies in 🥰 This neutered male has his paws full with these two baby girls. He's obviously told them to sit quiet in a tunnel and give him some peace and quiet 😂
