Carfax & Channing Rehomed 11/10/14

Carfax & Channing - REHOMED - closely bonded young adult boys, approx 6-10 months. Two beautiful boys who need an understanding new family. These two came from a large scale rescue of 150+ pigs that were kept in very poor conditions and had no handling whatsoever. They were so timid but are now in good health, have gained lots of weight and are now gaining in confidence. Are you that special person that can spend the time to bring these two out of their shells more and give them the life they so deserve?

The basics

The life span is usually 5-7 years, but 8-9 years is not uncommon if given the right care and conditions.

Indoor housing preferred. Minimum of 140x60cm. Currently zooplus.co.uk have good value indoor cages that meet the size required - Plaza 140 and Plaza 160.

Summer housing - hutch and run. Hutch minimum 140x60cm. Lidded run at least 150cm long.

Winter housing - indoors if possible otherwise in a well insulated heated shed. A garage is not suitable unless it has natural light, heat and is not used for a car!

Temperature range - easy, if it's too hot/cold for you, it is for them. Ideal temp range is 15-22 degrees.

Food - Around 80% of their diet should be hay. Guinea pigs MUST be fed guinea pig food, not rabbit food with vit C added. The vitamin, mineral and nutrition levels are very different and lifespan will be shortened. Please do not feed lettuce - it has very little nutritional value. Favourite veg are usually bell peppers, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower leaves. Portion size is a pingpong ball per type of veg (2-3 portions per day, can be 5 per day).

All guinea pigs are rehomed as a non-breeding pair or trio, or as a companion to your lone guinea pig. I never rehome guinea pigs as companions to rabbits. No guinea pigs from this centre are to be used for breeding. If, for any reason, you cannot keep your guinea pigs I will welcome them back to the rescue.
