East Anglian Guinea Pig Rehoming

30/12/2024

In addition to our lovely gifts we received two very kind donations via PayPal of £50 and £20, I was able to thank one but the other I’ve had to message via PayPal which isn’t terribly reliable! If Liz is reading this, thank you so much! We really appreciate these donations and will stock up on dry food and posh hay 💜

Despite us taking a break from surrenders and adoptions we are still busy looking after our elderly resident piggies and delighted to be on the receiving end of The Guinea Pig Secret Santa project with various packages arriving over the past few weeks. We cannot thank the organisers and our generous Secret Santas enough for all these thoughtful goodies, our piggies will feast on these over the coming weeks!
We have also had some lovely hay donations from our regular Guinea pig angels, much appreciated as ever.

Wishing all of our supporters a very peaceful and happy Christmas and a good year in 2025

Love

Sophie and all the piggies

Still waiting :(

We still have a pair (neutered boar and wife) and a mini herd (neutered boar with 3 wives!) waiting for adoption, they’ve all been here many months … looking for indoor or suitably heated / ventilated outbuilding. Fingers crossed we can get these into their forever homes ❤️

Guinea Pigs still waiting for adoption…

Neutered boar and wife - aged 2-3, one smooth haired one long haired

Herd of 4, neutered boar with 3 girls, all aged 18mths to 2 years, all short haired

Pair of older boys who need an experienced boar home to live out their days in comfort

These all need indoor homes, or an outdoor setup that is insulated / heated / protected from the elements. Please see our rehoming criteria here http://eastanglianguineapigrescue.blogspot.com/p/guinea-pig-homing-requirements.html

I don’t always get notifications for comments so if you wish to adopt please do message or complete the form to get started

Here’s hoping we can place these piggies in their forever homes soon

Please do contact us before purchasing a cage or hutch - we have lots of experience of what is best for the guinea pigs and our homing requi...

Today we welcomed back Reggie (was Jason) after he lost his cage mate. He already has a home lined up with another piggy adopted from us who has found himself in the same position, hopefully they will appreciate each other’s company

❤️ Herd home needed ❤️

If anyone is looking for a bonded herd, we have a little family of 6 here that would love to stay together. I’d like them to stay as they are and not be mixed in with a larger group.

Obviously they will need a huge space, so I might be asking the impossible, but just in case somebody was looking ….

Message me if suitable and we’ll go from there

Special Homes Required

We have two boar pairs who are on the older side but that are healthy and would still love a home to call their own. If you are an experienced Guinea pig person and have room in your hearts and home for these lovely boys, please do get in touch. Indoor homes for these lads please 💙

🐾💜 Adoption Appeal 💜🐾

We are currently unable to help any more Guinea pigs until some of our adoptable pigs are offered suitable homes. Most of our enquiries are for single pigs to bond, unfortunately we do not have any single pigs for bonding at all. We do however have adoptable pairs, trios and even a herd.

I am up to my eyes in admin so please, if you are wanting to adopt, do fill in the form and send the details and photos as a starting point. If you are waiting and haven’t heard back please pop me a message as comments don’t always get notified.

We also have some elderly (but healthy) pairs of pigs that need experienced adult homes. If you have experience of caring for older piggies and could open your heart to a pair or trio for the remainder of their days, please do enquire, I would love for these precious older ones to enjoy the rest of their days in luxury.

Rehoming criteria http://eastanglianguineapigrescue.blogspot.com/p/guinea-pig-homing-requirements.html

Please note we do not have any baby guinea pigs, only adult / older pigs and none of them are ‘cuddly’. They are used to people but will require homes that have patience and understanding as they are all rescues from various backgrounds.

Thank you for applying to adopt from East Anglian Guinea Pig Rehoming. Please complete this form as fully as possible to support your application and to enable us to match you up with suitable guinea pigs. Please note that this is only an initial application; adoption will not be approved until you....

Thank you so much to the kind angels who recently sent pellets and Readigrass from our wishlist, hugely appreciated! All stocked up for the next couple of weeks.

We are away for the next week and won’t be online at all, sorry to anyone who is kept waiting but we desperately need a break and a week in a field with no wifi is perfect!

28/05/2024

I’m back from some time away and working through a backlog of messages, please bear with me.

Although I’ve not been posting much, life here at the rescue is as busy as ever, in fact there’s been a huge influx of surrender requests. We are currently full and operating a waiting list.

A few people have asked what our priority items are so I’ve updated our wishlist as it’s mainly nuggets we need, we source our hay and bedding locally for far cheaper than we can get on Amazon but for nuggets it’s a good option and we are down to our last sack. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3F72W5S5BMIWV?ref_=wl_share

If you’re waiting to hear back from me I am working through requests as fast as I can but to narrow it down - we do not currently have any singles for bonding and already have several single piggies waiting for friends to adopt from us who will take priority.

We are a bit behind on our ‘thank yous’ due to a very difficult past month here with a very poorly young dog and then saying goodbye to our oldest dog 💔

Thank you to the kind people who sent these nuggets, and a bag of Wagg pellets, plus another Wishlist delivery of alfalfa cubes and Readigrass! We also had a lovely big box of Timothy hay a couple of weeks ago which was so fragrant and tasty looking! We really appreciate everyone’s support especially as we haven’t been very active on the page of with fundraising.

We also have three piggy angels that donate monthly by PayPal, you know who you are ❤️❤️❤️ This really does keep as going, thank you always

Welcome, Lucifer! Lucifer found himself lonely after his friend passed away recently so he’s settling here surrounded by other piggies. A very much loved boy who has been well looked after. As an older boy he will stay here with our sanctuary oldies with a friend

Very very hairy baby boars looking for their forever home. Experienced home preferred due to coat maintenance that will be required! Big boys who needs lots of space to explore.

❤️ Thank You Thank You ❤️

After yesterday’s post about Joseph I’m so happy to report that the vet bill has been covered, due to all of your very kind donations and one special lady who made up the difference from her own vet fund - how amazing, I can’t thank you all enough! I’ll be thanking PayPal donors today but their messaging service is a bit hit and miss, so wanted to post a public thank you as well.

I’ve removed names for privacy but money transferred last night via PayPal to the family.

The remaining piggy is doing well, and will be finding a friend soon.

I’m grateful and humbled as always by everyone’s kindness ❤️
