Say hello to Nicholas and Gabriel 💙
Nicholas (black and ginger) and Gabriel (silver agouti) are 4 years old and are looking for a lovely home. They are quite a comical duo, Nicholas being the more sensible of the two, whilst Gabriel is more like a cheeky little brother who cant sit still. He reminds his foster carer of a lively squirrel. They both need getting used to initially being picked up, but once out they do settle with time. They love exploring their foster carers kitchen.

Pebble & Bramble boar pair AVAILABLE
Beautiful boars age 4 who snuggle and get on really well. Pebble is less confident but Bramble is very nosy and curious about his surroundings. Older boars are a great introduction to keeping Guinea Pigs, full of character.
Both are a little nervous of handling but gaining confidence at feeding time. We are looking for owners willing to learn about boars and make this super pair very happy !! Ian their foster carer reports that they are very vocal.
