We welcomed Bill the guinea pig and his cage mate Elvis for a short stay over Christmas. Pleased to meet you!
We’re hosting the lovely Lola and her cage mate Che for Christmas. Welcome, piggies! We are all booked up for boarding during the Christmas break but are available to dp pop-in visits.

It’s Guinea Pig Appreciation Week this week. We are certainly appreciating having these lovely piggies to stay while their owners are on holiday 🌽
In most animals, there is an enzyme in the body that can use sugar to produce ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) which is then used to make collagen, an important component of connective tissue. Guinea pigs lack this enzyme, but still need ascorbic acid for collagen formation. This is why they need Vitamin C to be provided through their diet. Bell peppers are an excellent source, and most guinea pigs absolutely love them. Some fruit and veg shops will give you bell peppers for free for your piggies, if they are slightly discoloured or damaged and not able to be sold.

Purchased some new chew toys and a bigger litter box for our Flemish guest.
