rescue

Check it out here: I went to volunteer at a Rescue in London. I like volunteering because at the moment I'm so busy that I can't have any Pigs of my own. They're a small rescue but they're fantastic. They save the lives of abused and abandoned Guinea Pigs and it would mean a lot to me if you...

I've got a sweet little syrian called Daenerys, I was sure I already had a thread for her but it seems not, She was a rescue from applauding condition, very scared of humans when she came to me about 6 months ago, Today she let me stroke her for the first time! I've worked with her from a...

hello, I am planning a clear out and to replace my fleece liners and cosies this month. I have a few good quality cage liners for 4x2 and 3x2 C&C cages - (my girls are in a smaller cage at the moment due to bears recent operations and hernia and was advised to limit her space to allow healing...

Woke up Sunday morning to find an apparently dead hedgehog on my drive way! :o Being a huge animal lover obviously I was very upset and went to see if I could figure out what had happened.... only to find he was still alive! Poor thing was still breathing and flys were harassing it! And I did...

So I've been contacting rescues trying to find my girl Baby a husband, And one rescue said this: 'Those animals still waiting for their forever home really appreciate food, veg, hay & they lurve grass but not from the lawnmower which pulps it. If we have clean, sealed bags of piggy waste, we'd...

Now that Darwin and Jake are well settled and lice free, it's time to see if they want to be friends! Things have been going well, they have even snoozed together! Both boys came from homes where they lived alone so I really hope they get on. Wish the boys luck!

Do you think these are the same pigs? The cage is the same with the ill-fitting door, they're in the same location, one of both 'pairs' has died and they are incredibly similar if not the same, both 'pairs' are boars. The angle makes it difficult though...

Many piggies :D Toffee and Fudge were surrendered to my work place, and because Toffee has lots of unusual cysts and both ladies are elderly they are now permanent Sanctuary residents! Toffee is left and sister Fudge is right. The mysterious stretch-pig! Kissy kissy! And little Jakob! Such a...

Hi, I rescued a female piggy and her 6 week old pup a couple weeks ago. Her name is Harley and she's approx. 6 months old. The rescue has a great, established reputation and Harley was vet checked and cleared for adoption. She is very skinny. I can feel her ribs, pelvic bone and she's got skinny...

I got a female guinea pig from my local shelter about 22 days ago. I noticed that she was a bit large compared to my other female rescue guinea pig that I got from somewhere else. I was told that she was between 1 and 2 years old. I don't know much about her history, but I know that there was a...

I'm the new (less than a week) mom of the sweetest little 3-4 mos. (petco) male but contrary to what petco's "expert" said I now read he needs a piggy friend and not just me & my son's attention. The petco attendant said he had another male in his cage for a bit and he tolerated him but he...

I do some short term fostering for the Potteries GPR as well as helping out with some fundraising events. The Potteries GPR is full to bursting at the moment. Just before Xmas two emergency intakes involved 2 traumatised piggies left abandoned in a rented property and 2 single piggies and a...

Hi I really want to get a friend for Alan this weekend as I have a few days off and would be good to keep an eye on them for the first few days. I have been trying to contact the Avalon Rescue but haven't been able to get in touch. Where else could I get a guinea pig from in Nottingham? I can't...

Hi! I adopted a guinea pig, Curtis the other day (close to 2 year old male) and him and Benny get along and interact very well, they hit it off almost immediately. The only concern I have ran across is how timid he is with human interaction. I don't know too much about his background other than...

(Please let me know if I'm posting in the wrong topic area, I'm new to the site.) I need advice or support or tips of any kind! A few months ago, we adopted a newly bonded pair that was fostered by the lady who runs the local rescue. One is part satin (4-6 months old, the rescue wasn't...
