Agnes had a terrible start in life, her welfare needs weren’t met, and she was squashed in a cage whilst heavily pregnant. She is now in her cosy retirement, spending the rest of her days with her daughter Suzie

Did you know that regularly weighing your guinea pigs is important? 📈 It helps you keep track of their growth and detect any potential health issues early on. 🐾
Make sure to keep track of their weights weekly so you can stay on top of any changes. ✏️ #GPAW2023 #RescueandRehome

Brushing, and nail trims - oh my! Taking care of your guinea pigs' grooming needs is essential for their health and happiness. 💅
Long-haired piggies need some extra TLC to keep those luscious locks tangle-free, while their short-haired pals only need a quick once-over each week. ✨💆♀️
Nail trims can be tricky, but don't worry! Your vet can show you the proper way to safely trim those tiny talons. Just ask for a demonstration during your next visit. 👩⚕️✂️
And if you're thinking of rehoming a guinea pig, take the time to build trust and confidence before handling them. This way, you can check for any health conditions and give them the love and care they deserve. ❤️🤝
Remember, grooming is not just about maintaining their appearance. It's about ensuring your furry friends are comfortable, healthy, and happy! #GPAW2023 #RescueandRehome @amysark_
Can you help Tupay and Strawberry?
Due to no fault of their own they have been left homeless and are only about a year old.😔
They will need an experienced owner as they need patience to trust you, but when they do they are affectionate and talkative and give a little chuckle when they see you coming! They love each other very much, and will need a helping hand with grooming too!
For more information about the fluffy duo, you can contact @rspca_centrallondon @rspcaofficial

🐹 It's Guinea Pig Awareness Week and Fig and Farley are having a feast!🐹
Today's theme is "Guinea Nutrition- Five Steps to a Complete Diet"
Watching them munch on their favourite treats brings so much joy and reminds us of the importance of giving our furry friends a balanced diet💚
#GPAW2023 #RescueandRehome
Keep your piggies happy and healthy by feeding at least their body size in hay per day! 🌾
It's not just a snack but should make up 85-90% of their diet.
Guinea pigs' teeth grow constantly, and chewing on hay helps to wear them down and keeps them healthy.🐹🦷
Plus, the fibre in the hay keeps their digestive system moving! So make sure you provide a constant supply of hay!
Thanks to the RSPCA (England & Wales) for filming these adorable piggies for #GPAW2023 #RescueandRehome
