OUT OF DATE

Ernie & Hector REHOMED11 months and 14 weeks. These two have quickly become inseparable since Ernie chose Hector as his new friend. He was bullied by his brother Enzo as a youngster so found older pigs a bit scary but he thinks little Hector is fab, and has even started pop-corning around their cage because he's so happy.

OUT OF DATE

Sophie & Mimi - REHOMED 
Sophie arrived at the rescue pregnant, she is 8 months and baby Mimi 15 weeks old. Sophie had a very difficult birth, luckily she and all 4 of her babies are fine. She is available for rehoming together with her daughter Mimi. If you feel you can offer the exceptional home these girls need please do get in touch.  They require an indoor home with lots of love and attention.

OUT OF DATE - The Dickens Boys



Fagin, Dodger & Mr Bumble - REHOMED 

An unlikely trio of boys ranging from 3 yrs to 9 months old.  These boys were practically dumped on the doorstep in dreadful condition, full of mites and fungal skin infections.  They have made a remarkable recovery and have maintained their close bond throughout.



Mick & Dick OUT OF DATE

Mick & Dick - Available now
These two have great fun playing and running around most of the day, dad Mick is very cheeky and wants to know everything that is going on - you'll often see his little face at the side of the cage watching your every move.  Mick is 6-8 months old and Dick is 14 weeks.

Farm Rescue Boys OUT OF DATE

3 pairs of the boys rescued from being dumped and released on an abandoned farm in West Wales are now ready for rehoming.  They have completed their 2 week quarantine and have all been treated for the mite infestation that all the poor piggies had.


Father and Son- Available now 
Dad is the oldest male from the rescue and presumably the father to most if not all the offspring that are due, he is approx 6-8 months old. He is paired with the youngest boy from the group who is now 6 weeks old. These boys will need an experienced home to help them gain trust in people, they will need to be indoors as the baby boy is too small to winter in a shed.

 

 

Thomas & Benji - Available now
A pair of young males, approx 3-4 months old. These boys are still rather shy but are gaining in confidence now that they have been handled and given lots of treats while with one of my foster mums. Now that they have finished their quarantine they are back, ready and waiting for their new family.



Rowan & Ewan - Available now
Young pair of boys, approx 4-5 months old. Rowan is a crested pig, very inquisitive and vocal while Ewan is a bit more shy. Both are ready for a new family and will benefit from regular handling to help their personalities shine through.



Oohhh Chilly!!

Now that the cold nights have really set in it's time to bring all outdoor piggies in, they hate the cold just as much as we do.  If you can't bring them in due to allergies etc then please move their outdoor hutches into the warmth of a good shed, if you need advice on how, what, when or where just drop me an email or give me a ring.

The Rescue is Overflowing

I now have to stop taking more guinea pigs in until some are rehomed - I am already over my Max of 40 piggies and yet I have just taken in another 17 guinea pigs discovered on a disused farm in West Wales, dumped and let loose to fend for themselves.  Many of them are pregnant so I will have to accommodate around another 40 guinea pigs through the winter once the babies have arrived.

If you are considering guinea pigs as pets and would like to know more about the piggies here please get in touch.

The farm rescue pigs are featured on the New Arrivals page.

OUT OF DATE

All these piggies have been on a 2 week quarantine to ensure they are fit and well before rehoming.  They are now ready and waiting for their new families.

Quentin & Maurice - REHOMED

5 months old, both crested, Quentin is almost completely white apart from a patch of cream over one ear, he is very cheeky and inquisitive. Maurice is dark chocolate, a bit shyer than his brother but very sweet. They will make good family pets.



Mick & Dick - available now

3 of the baby boys have now been rehomed leaving Mick and Dick as a pair, father in the middle and the himalayan (white) baby on the outside of the group.  New photo very soon!  These two have great fun playing and running around most of the day, dad is very cheeky and wants to know everything that is going on - you'll often see his little face at the side of the cage watching your every move.

Georgia - available now

4 year old female.  Georgia is currently with a foster family as she is proving difficult to pair up with another female - she is quite a grumpy old lady and is now living next to Betty - an equally grumpy old girl.  They are being spoilt rotten and getting lots of TLC, lucky girls!

OUT OF DATE

Olivia and Florence - REHOMED

14 months and 9 weeks. Olivia is a red and white abyssinian and Flo is a black and ginger coronet (long hair). Florence will need daily grooming to keep her hair in good condition. Although Olivia enjoys human company she does not like to be stroked much just yet, so is not really suitable as a young child's pet. .

***

Betty - Available now

3 years old. Silver agouti rex, an unusual breed to come into rescue. She is best suited to a mature neutered male as she is does not accept female company.  She is currently living with at a foster home so that she has the individual attention she needs while she waits for her new companion.

***

OUT OF DATE

Ernie & Hector - Available now

10 months and 10 weeks. These two have quickly become inseparable since Ernie chose Hector as his new friend. He was bullied by his brother Enzo as a youngster so found older pigs a bit scary but he thinks little Hector is fab, and has even started pop-corning around their cage because he's so happy.

***

Monty & Dylan - REHOMED

Father and son, 7 months and 9 weeks. Monty has been receiving treatment for the mites he arrived at the rescue with, he is now completely recovered and his hair has started to grow back where he had scratched and bitten himself from the intense itching.  Monty is super friendly and Dylan is learning from his dad to be more confident.  They will make fabulous children's pets.

***
DelBoy & Rodney - REHOMED

Approx 12 months old. DelBoy is rather shy and Rodney is happy to be held. These two cuties are great friends and chat away to each other.

***
Herbert - RESERVED

8-10 months old. This cheeky bundle of energy is very skinny and I'm working hard to put some weight on this little cutie. Herbert is currently bonding with a little baby boy.

***

OUT OF DATE

These three girls are mother and daughters - unfortunately the son was left in with the girls past 3 weeks of age and so they are now all probably pregnant, I'll just have to wait and see!

UPDATE: The mother is due to give birth in about a week's time and one of her daughter in 3 weeks.  The second daughter is unlikely to be expecting though I am waiting a little longer to be sure.

UPDATE:  The mum (Autumn, on right of pic) had a large litter of 6 babies, unfortunately as mum is inbred and she was made pregnant by her own son some of the babies were not able to survive and she lost 3 of them.  The other 3 are doing very well and are growing normally.

The one daughter that was also pregnant (Petra, on left of pic) had a better outcome and gave birth to 3 large and healthy babies.

OUT OF DATE

The Mitey Boys Story

Dyson - Available now - still at the rescue, living next door to an unrelated male that he doesn't intimidate. He is one of the most aggressive males I've had come into the rescue and will probably stay for life unless he finds another equally aggressive male to move in next door to, so that they can swear at each other through the bars but not attack! I call him my pocket rottweiler.

***

Demetri - REHOMED blind, deaf and scarred for life by Dyson, paired up with Milo (white piggy in pic), a former resident. They formed an instant bond which was heart-warming to see.

***

Simon and Lloyd - REHOMED - these boys also have a happy ending as they have been rehomed to be spoilt rotten for the rest of their lives. After 3 years of the hell they came from to the luxury and care they now have is just so wonderful.

Here's their story...

5 new piggies arrived today, 4 boys and a girl. Unfortunately all of them are suffering from a severe mite infestation so will not be available until they are fit and well. I have bathed and medicated them today and will take some photos very soon to update you of their progress.

Unusually the 4 boys live together - happily according to their previous owner - we'll see! Once they are well enough and if they are happy as a group then I would dearly love them to be rehomed together. They are around 3 years old.

***

UPDATE: Well these boys are in a pretty bad way - two are blind , all are very scabby, now separated into two pairs as the dominant male Dyson was bullying Simon.

The little girl, Olivia, is in better condition, although she had mites she isn't as in a poor state as the boys. It doesn't show up in the photos but these boys have very sparse hair, no undercoat and lots of scabs from scratching and biting at their skin. A simple bath with insecticidal shampoo for small animals would've prevented weeks if not months of suffering.

Demetri - Lavender and Golden, blind and possibly deaf. Dyson - Ginger and Black.


Simon - Ginger and white. Lloyd - Mainly white abyssinian, one eye has cataract and possibly blind in other eye too.

This is Simon showing the effects of mite infestation, his skin is covered in scabs and sores.

***

UPDATE 9th July: The boys are making good progress and are now starting to grow new hair, their appetite is enormous and they spend a great deal of their time eating.

Demetri, the blind, deaf lavender and golden is bonding with a visiting pig, Milo. They should be going home at the weekend, Milo's dad is one of my piggy families and has already shown that he is an exceptional owner, Demetri will have a superb new home. UPDATE: Demetri has now gone home with Milo.

Dyson is living next to an unrelated male that he doesn't intimidate, although I have not introduced him to another male yet, I'm not very hopeful of finding a friend for him as he is so aggressive. Fingers are crossed though.

Simon and Lloyd are very happy and relaxed with each other now that their big brother Dyson is no longer able to bully them. Their treatment is continuing but they are responding very well. Simon's skin is improving everyday and he has even started to grow new hair!

It took 3 months for these boys to get to the stage of being fit and well enough to be rehomed, they came into the rescue in a pitiful state and utterly traumatised from being a group of 4 adult males left to fight it out between themselves. Sadly it is not a unique story, but they at least now have the life they deserve and hopefully they will live long enough to enjoy it to the full.
