Thinking of and sending love to all those affected.
Amazing artwork Piggie Parodies ❤️

Thoughts with everyone affected by the fires in California right now. Condolences to those who lost someone, thoughts with those now homeless and lost a lifetime of possessions and I am so very sad that so many animals will have perished. The firefighters are true heroes ❤️

The last time I posted this was for fires, I really did not want to post it again.

Today we had 2 x 18 month old sows surrendered to us through no fault of their own. We were deeply saddened by the condition they arrived in though - these nails will have been causing pain and discomfort and the long haired sow had matted fur and grass seeds embedded in her skin 😢

If you lack confidence in essential grooming please please reach out to us, your vet or there are small pet boarding facilities that offer grooming too

As you can see from the last 2 photos these girls have had full grooms and preventative mite treatments they will be quarantined and we will be working on building their confidence as they are very skittish at the moment ❤️

We welcome the newly named Edith & Evelyn into our hearts 💕

Happy 1st of January everyone!
Did your new years eve look like our pretty and civilised profile picture featuring Hermione and Bobby!? 🍾😍
Or did it look a bit more like the reality of a photo shoot with piggies 🤪
Maybe you're clearing up the aftermath today? Or still stumbling around trashing the place like Hermione demonstrated 'on set'.
What is it they say about never working with children or animals! 🤔

Have a great day … whatever it is 🤣🤷‍♀️

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a love story!
Blake (2 years old) finally finished his waiting period after being neutered, and Sherry (under a year old) has been on pregnancy watch along with the other sows that came to us (and thankfully no one is pregnant).

These two finished their waiting period at the same time, so we tried them together on Christmas Day and they have been smitten with each other since!

They will be going up for adoption together as a bonded pair in the new year, so keep an eye out for them!

In all the madness before Christmas we totally forgot to post our thanks and gratitude to our Secret Santas!!!

Your donations are thoughtful and greatly appreciated!!

Massive thanks also to The Guinea Pig Secret Santa Project for organising this event globally each year ❤️🎅🎄

As a rescue we are very busy behind the scenes, despite being closed to surrenders and adoptions, caring for the piggies already in our care and making sure they all feel the love this Christmas 🎄

We would like to wish all our followers, supporters, adopters and friends of the rescue a very Merry Christmas and New Year, we couldn't do what we do without you ❤️
