Help: guinea pig

[Mellors]

Hi

I wonder if any of you lovely forumites can help. I have a male adult guinea pig (Squeak). Unfortunately Scruff, Squeak's buddy died a few weeks ago. We need a new playmate for Squeak, but pet shops etc. only seem to sell baby pigs, and I am told it a bad idea to put a little one in with a big one in case of bullying.

Any ideas on where I can get Squeak a new friend?

Thanks

Hi Mellors,

I'm sorry to hear about scruff.

It's worth trying this rescue, they deal with both bunnies and pigs:

I think they are the closest rescue, there are however others in SE London, including this one in Croydon http://www.bobtailsrescue.org.uk/adopt_guineapig.asp . Good luck in finding a new companion (or 2) for squeak.

Thanks very much, I've contacted them both.

pets at home also have rescue piglets

Thanks - I tried them, but they only had ladies - much as I love my pigs, I do not need a houseful of the little critters :D

We got our two Guineas from Foal farm (rescue near Biggin hill )

There is a wonderful local rescue and rehoming charity for small pets - GBH Rescue, based in Beckenham.
