"I knew my wedding day would be OK... the reality for the guinea pigs is they weren't going to be OK." ❤️

Amy, from Mansfield Guinea Pig Rescue, spent the days before her wedding caring for dozens of poorly guinea pigs after rescuing them from "heart-breaking" conditions.

Just completed two Zoom-based feline health, well-being and first aid sessions! Fascinating and informative from a vet.

Did you know a cat may lick its lips if it's anxious (similar to a dog), it could benefit from anxiety meds before vet visits, and cats can even benefit from melatonin for improving sleep patterns, especially in more elderly cats with dementia?

Looking forward to our certificates arriving soon 😻

🐹💅 This weekend we welcomed a gorgeous little family of four guinea pigs for their wellbeing check and nail trim!

Regular nail trimming is really important for guinea pigs:

✨ Overgrown nails can curl into their pads and cause pain or infection.
✨ Long nails make it harder for them to walk properly, which can put pressure on their joints.
✨ Short, neat nails make handling more comfortable for both piggies and their humans!

A wellbeing check helps us spot any early signs of health concerns, such as:

✅ Weight changes
✅ Skin or coat issues
✅ Teeth and eye health
✅ Lumps, bumps, or sore spots

Peanut, Brownie, Teddy and Coco were absolute stars! 🌟

Regular care like this helps keep piggies happy, healthy, and comfortable.

If you would like to book in for guinea pig treatments, please head over to our website ⬇️ Prices start from as little as £3 per guinea pig.

Update on the 46 guinea pigs we rescued in appalling conditions, we have taken 3 to the vets today and we know the bill is going to be going into the thousands. Please keep sharing our go fund me.

What we need help with urgently

Washing, can anyone take a bag or two of guinea pig bedding to wash and bring back to the rescue. We are running low and are have got limited time while we are dealing with all these poorly piggies.

Please try not to message us unless it’s urgent. All guinea pigs are currently caged and being assessed we don’t need any foster carers currently but will re-post when we do. We appreciate the offers so much but we can’t cope with the messaged and phone calls we are currently getting.

Many thanks for understanding
