****OUR PIGS OF THE WHEEK!****
Introducing Gizmo & Pluto!
These handsome guys were given up by their owner because they were no longer able to care for them. They are a bit on the shy side but warm up quickly.
If you are interested in giving Gizmo & Pluto a furever home please contact us at [email protected]
Also, our adoption application is available on our website.

I can not thank everyone who follows our page enough . Sadly, we are facing a crisis yet again. In the last 3 weeks we have taken in over 60 guinea pigs and have been asked to take in even more this weekend. Our resources are running low and we could use food and hay mostly. If you are able to help our Amazon wish list will be in the comments. If you would like to donate we have a gofundme page. If you would prefer paypal you can email me at [email protected]. Checks are always welcome and they can be sent to our PO Box. Without your help, we would not be able to help all the guinea pigs that need us.

Hear ye! Hear ye! We have an important announcement to make...Lord Byron has left his place of residence at The Critter Corral and has embarked on a new journey with a wonderful family that has adopted from us before.
We are beyond ecstatic that Lord Byron finally found the perfect palace. He will be living with a commoner as he doesn't get along well with others as is the case with many Lords, but he will be able to converse on a regular basis. He has been a ruler of our kingdom for over 18 months. Congratulations on our 5th adoption for August!!

Are Guinea Pigs Affectionate Pets to Humans? "Guinea pigs are affectionate pets, their level of affection mostly depends on the owner's behavior towards the guinea pig. So, if you are gentle and you do everything to help them adapt to their new home, your guinea pigs will slowly start showing affection."

Unfortunately due to the colder weather we will not be at the Bartlett Pet Expo as it will be too chilly for the guinea pigs. We will miss seeing you today ...

IMPORTANT STORE INFO:

My stores are back online, but with some changes.
My ETSY Store is back with no clothing items, for them you need to go direct to my suppliers stores (these are the only authorized sellers). Links will be in the comments or you can get them all via the "LEARN MORE" button at the top of the page.

T-SHIRTS:
U.S. tees are from one supplier, Neatoshop.
All other territories from Lofty Creations.
Note: Both of these suppliers have always been my suppliers, so you have the same quality as always. I have taken them off from Etsy as I just don't have the time to constantly add items, process orders on there (and my other store) due to constant "day job" work.

Etsy will be for other items that will include: Commissions, paintings, prints, pins/badges, original items and more bespoke things.

So, update on the 30 from today. It appears that we have 4-5 senior guinea pigs. Senior guinea pigs are the hardest to adopt out. If you might be interested in giving one of these seniors a home please email us at [email protected].
Pictures will be coming within the next few days. Needless to say we are just a tad bit busy...

we love using paper bags!!

If you haven't tried using a paper bag for your guinea pigs yet, you're missing out! Paper bags can be great fun for pigs, especially when stuffed with hay or forage for the trifecta of fun: food, enrichment, and snoozing!

Happy August Adoptions....What's better then 1 pair of guinea pigs getting adopted but when the adopter meets another pair and they can't decide so they just adopt both of them!! Congratulations to Brownie and Sweetie and Hershey and Loaf who went home together and we hope they will soon all be cage mates and if not their new family is ok with keeping 2 cages. We are beyond thrilled that these 2 pairs of girls went on their happy way!! Have the best life girls!!

WARNING...This may be a post you don't want to read due to it's content..

What's NOT for dinner...these lucky guinea pigs were part of an eviction and the owner had been breeding them to eat. We were able to pick up the 16 from a local animal control. Please no negative comments as they are safe and sound now.

We were just starting to hit level ground after our last nightmare of 187 and here we are again. We need your help to care for these as we are positive that the females are pregnant. Any donation helps. See our Amazon list if you would prefer to send from there.
Thank you for your continued support.

Tuesday focus on the Hoarding Group. Many of these guinea [pigs are now ready for new homes. Keep in mind if you are interested in adopting one of them, they can still be very nervous and may need more work with lap time. They were living a "wild" life having to fight for food and water where they lived. Many have come such a long way in the 3 months they have been with us....
