💛 Sunday Snippets from Mary – Snippet #1: Daily Care 💛

Each Sunday, we’re sharing a tiny piece of wisdom from Mary’s Guinea Pig Care Guide, created for her Girl Scout Silver Award.
Mary is the daughter of one of our longtime fosters, and she poured so much love and knowledge into this project, we’re so excited to share her words with you. 🐹✨

Daily Care

Guinea pigs need care multiple times a day, and there are lots of things you need to do to properly take care of your piggies.

• Feeding

Guinea pigs need to be fed multiple times a day, with unlimited hay and water, along with pellets and vegetables.
And don’t worry about forgetting they’ll definitely remind you every time you walk into the room!

• Cleaning

Your guinea pigs need to be cleaned out often, and how often depends on how many piggies you have:
• Two guinea pigs: Every 3–4 days
• Three to four guinea pigs: Every 2–3 days
• Five or more guinea pigs: Daily

These are the maximum number of days you can go without cleaning their cage.

 ✨💜 Cincinnati / Springfield — Meet Our Sparkly Sweethearts! 💜✨
These gorgeous girls are ready to shine in their new forever homes! 🌟🐹

💜 Monica & Phoebe
A bonded pair of purebred silkies with the MOST luxurious hair. These ladies are total showstoppers but please know:
✨ Silkies require regular grooming!
✨ Routine brushing, trims, and keeping their bottoms tidy.
✨ Long-haired breeds are AMAZING but definitely higher-maintenance.

🧡 Pearl & Petunia
Another adorable bonded pair who love each other dearly. These two are a great match for a loving family ready to spoil them.
✨ Their coats are shorter and easier to manage than silkies but still need the basics like nail trims and routine handling.

🌈 We will NOT break bonds.
Message us to be screened for adoption!💕

✨ Sharing helps them find their perfect homes! ✨

💔 A Personal Note From Me Tonight 💔

I don’t really know how to put this into words, but tonight I said goodbye to my horse… the one I’ve loved since I was 16 years old. He’s been with me through so many chapters of my life, and losing him has broken my heart.

I also tested positive for Covid this evening, so I’m not feeling well physically or emotionally.

If my responses are slower than usual over the next few days, please be patient with me. I’m still here, and I care deeply about our rescue and all of you, I just need a little time to grieve and to feel better.

Thank you for understanding. ❤️🐹

🦇 Batman & Robyn Are on SPECIAL! 🐹✨
Yes… this is real. This dynamic duo is officially 2-for-1!

Normally a bonded pair is a minimum $50 donation, but because we are completely overrun with males, we’re offering them for a minimum $25 donation to the right home.

These two sweet boys came in together and have stayed side-by-side from day one. They’re friendly, adorable, and ready to settle into a loving forever home.

They must stay together, but that just means double the charm for one small donation.

If you’re interested in giving this cute pair a forever home, send us a message! 💛🦇🐹

These two fluffy little boys are ready to fall into your heart this season! ❤️

Parsley and Basil are a bonded pair who adore each other and love exploring, snacking on fresh veggies, and snuggling
They’re full of charm and curiosity, the kind of duo that will make you smile every day.

They must be adopted together and would love a forever home where they can enjoy plenty of space, love, and fresh greens.

🌿 Adoption fee: $50 for the pair
🐹 Bonus: They’re even cuter in person!

🚨🐹 No, this is not a drill… 🐹🚨

Our Senior Special is live! 🎉
Meet our distinguished duo, Zachary (left) and Bruce (right) two lovable old men with plenty of sass, charm, and snack demands.

💰 Adoption Fee: $35 each (normally $50!)
👴 Preferred home: someone who appreciates naps, routine, and a good veggie platter.

They’re still full of personality, just a little slower and wiser. 😉 These two deserve a cozy retirement home where they can enjoy their golden years with love, hay, and snacks galore.

Message us if you’re ready to give our old fellas the soft landing they deserve ❤️

🐹💚 We’re Full to the Brim with Piggies! 💚🐹

Our rescue is officially at maximum capacity, which means every inch of our space is filled with sweet squeaks, hay piles, and lots of hungry little faces. 🥰

With so many mouths to feed, we could really use a little help restocking on hay, pellets, and treats for our herd. 🌿💚 Every bit helps keep the piggies happy, healthy, and full of snacks!
