Hi, I've been messaging hazelcroft rescue and everything seems to be going very well at the moment. I am going to be setting my cage up today after a trip out to get supplies and shall be sending photos of it to hazelcroft hopefully today. But so far I've been offered a lovely pair of girls just under two years old called poppy and suzy and both my OH and I are very excited. I haven't shown them to my daughter yet, just in case, but she knows we will be getting some soon and was very excited when the cage and a few accessories turned up! Going to let her help me set it up later. Fingers crossed the home check goes okay and we should have a lovely pair of girls very soon :)
 
For transporting your piggies via bus etc put lots of hay in their box or carrying case so they can hide & feel safe.

That is great! Suzy and Poppy are extra adorable and will make fab family pets. Suzy is a real lady who loves a cuddle and Poppy is a cheeky girl who chats to you and asksfor attention! Hope all goes well with homecheck :D
 
I had to rescue most of mine off of Craigslist here in the states... I just looked for the sickly pigs. Or ones that were in horrid unacceptable conditions. Rescues around where I live are far and few between nor will they adopt to me because I have dogs and a cat ( my cat and one dog runs from them and the big dog allows them to crawl all over her) with supervision of course!

Also I'm very worried about travelling with them after, via overground, bus and especially underground as I don't want to overly stress them out. If there was any where closer I'd probably pay out for a cab as that seems to be the best travelling option I have

Hi and welcome!

Guinea pigs travel surprisingly well as long as they are in an enclosed, comfy space. I have travelled on the train for over 3 hours with piggies aged 7 weeks to 9 years old. They may need an extra day to settle down, but they will come round nevertheless! I regularly travel to my special vet in Northampton by bus, train and taxi.

I can recommend Hazelcroft most warmly! You are in safe hands there!
 
Hi OP! hows it going? well i hope, and i bet your so excited.if you have piggies coming soon! :)
 
Very excited! Also told my daughter the guinea pigs names, Poppy and suzy, and she was singing about them all around the flat. They are due to turn up tomorrow as long as the home check tomorrow goes well. Cage set up, fresh bags of hay and food ready, kale, carrots, cucumber and red pepper bought for a starting point on their veg. Fingers crossed things go well tomorrow morning!
 
Good luck and I am so glad you have found a rescue :) x
