What a rollercoaster day today!
We had to make the very difficult decision to euthanise one of our medical chinchillas. Unfortunately his dental issues were too severe to offer a good quality of life and with the support of one of our exotic vets we assisted him over the rainbow bridge.
Upon arriving home we found one of our sanctuary guinea pigs had peacefully passed with her daughter at her side.
We turned around and our sweet Mala was finally delivering her babies(5). The delivery was pretty fast and furious and she knew exactly what to do.
This all happened in the space of about 3 hours today.
We are saddened by our losses but relieved we have 5 safe pups and mama.
Its the rollercoaster of rescue work.
Have you thanked your local rescuer today for the job they do every day and keep on trucking.?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Crested babies galore! We have many baby boys who just became available for adoption.
If you have a difficult to bond male piggy, sometimes they take to babies much easier - and we can do a bonding appointment to be sure!
These babies can also be adopted out in pairs, but cannot be adopted as a solo piggy. Fill out an application on our website if you’d like to adopt! 💕

Atticus, the neutered nanny boar, is giving ‘babysitting’ a whole new meaning. This baby doesn’t seem to mind that he took his title too seriously.

Please remember!
Guinea pigs need regular nail trims or it can cause mechanical issues and injuries.
Solicit help to hold the guinea if you need to. Start by just trimming tips of nails if you are nervous
Hold the foot while trimming to avoid “ pull backs” and injury
Keep styptic powder at hand or flour from your kitchen cupboard
If you trim too far apply powder and pressure. DON’T PANIC!!
Your guinea pig will get over it much more quickly than you. They will forgive you😍
Keep trying. Just a few nails at a time
You can do this!

Wee would like to introduce you to our fabulous Syrian hammy, Perrier! She is absolutely stunning, and SUPER sweet! She is about 9 months old, and great with people of all ages. Because she’s quite a big lady, she will need a large enclosure and a large wheel. Fill out an application on our website, or contact Antonella if interested in this perfect girl!💛

One of the biggest compliments a rescue can receive is when adopters return again and again to adopt from us.
It shows a respect and trust for an organization.
Wee hopes it proves adopters feel part of the Wee Companions family.
Since all adopters have our counselors phone numbers to text at any time they are welcome to reach out when they are ready to adopt again.
This lucky hamster was adopted by a Wee alumni who travels quite a distance to support our work.!
Wee are standing by with our phones.

Wee Companions recommends nail trims every 4 to 6 weeks ( sometimes longer or shorter depending on nail growth)
While handling your pet we glance them over for any obvious signs of health concerns that you may have missed.
We are not veterinarians.
We perform nail trims and basic clean.
If we are concerned about your pet we will recommend a vet visit.
Our services are offered Wednesdays 2 to 7:30 pm and Saturdays 9 to 3:30 pm
Walk in, no appointments

Our beautiful Catriona had her babies today. Two beautiful living wee souls and three that did not make it.
This certainly represents the highs and lows of rescue work.
Letting her bond with her babies today after cleaning up and giving her some of the yummy veggies that were donated yesterday( thank you!)

Wee guinea pigs should work for their living!!!
Exceptional Maro is a senior male guinea pig that came to us with some chronic, but mild issues so he has been held on Sanctuary status.
He has shown an amazing gift for being one of our best Nanny Boars ever! He has raised several baby male pups now as they have to be separated from mom around 3 weeks old.
He is a calm adult that gives the babies confidence, teaching them the variety of foods to enjoy and how humans are to be loved and not feared!
Keep up the good work Maro, you are a rock star!!!!
