One of my customers is sadly having to rehome her 3 guinea pigs (one boy and two girls). Erwin is two and half years old and is gorgeous! His girls, Koko and Juno are a year old. They will come with their cage and fleece blankets. If you are interested, please let me know and I will put you in touch with the owner West Sussex). Many thanks.

With the latest Amber heat warning, just reposting this as a reminder.
Guinea pigs cannot sweat, and so when temperatures go above 23 degrees your guinea pig will start to find it difficult to regulate their body temperature and above 26 degree they become at risk of suffering from heatstroke which can prove fatal. During this UK heatwave it is really important that you ensure your guinea pigs keep cool. Here are some tips for doing just that:

● If your guinea pigs are kept out in direct sunlight or in a hot part of the house, move them to a cooler, more comfortable location.
● Do not put your guinea pigs out in the run in the garden during this hot weather - it is too hot for them and they can generally be kept cooler indoors.
● If they are indoors keep the curtains or blinds drawn to keep the sunlight out.
● Use an oscillating fan in their room if you can.
● When feeding your guinea pigs their daily vegetables, run them under cold water before feeding to your pigs to provide extra hydration.
● Ensure water bottles are kept topped up with cold fresh water.
● Slices of cucumber or watermelon straight from the fridge provide a lovely hydrating treat for your pigs.
● You can buy cool pads from places like Amazon to place in your guinea pig cage for them to lie on and cool down; homemade alternatives are flannels or teatowels from the freezer, or ceramic tiles put in the freezer for a couple of hours and then wrapped in a teatowel for your pigs to lie on.
● You can also put a bottle of water in the freezer and then place the frozen bottle in a sock for your guinea pig to lie against to cool down.
● If your guinea pig has long hair, they will thank you for giving them a good trim (although possibly not at the time)!

Finally, if you think your guinea pig may be suffering from heatstroke (confusion, restlessness, panting, lethargy) please seek veterinary advice immediately.

Is anyone able to provide a furever home for this pair of cute gerbils which are around 4 months old. They are called Apple 🍎 and pineapple 🍍 😁 unfortunately the owner's landlord will not allow them to stay. As you can see from the photos they are very tame and the cage will be provided as well.

Those who know me know I used to be an army dog trainer. I learned two things while I was in the army working with dogs, both are still a daily part of my life.

First: you always sort your dog out before you sort yourself out.

Are they thirsty or hungry? Do they need anything at this point? Every day without fail, I follow this rule that I learned so many years ago. Dogs can’t just fill up a water bowl, they can’t stop a griping hunger in their stomach on their own, but we can. So I choose to meet their needs before I work on my own, and I always will.

Second: you always move at the slowest man’s pace.

This lesson taught me everything about living with older, slower dogs. As dogs get older, they run less. Older dogs sniff more. They sniff everything. Senior dogs might be stiff and achy and need to cover less ground, but they cover that ground at a slower pace.

Please consider their needs and go at their pace.

It’s not fair to leave them behind or pull them along.

Good morning everyone. Due to the current rising costs I have had to take the difficult decision to increase my fees. Therefore please note my new prices from 1st June 2022: one or two guinea pigs sharing the same cage: £7.50 per night. Three guinea pigs sharing the same cage £9.00 per night. Hamsters/gerbils in their own cage £4.00 per night. I look forward to seeing all your wonderful fur babies soon.
