On this page are some of the guests staying at Bobtails until they can find a new family of their very own. Adopting a guinea pig shouldn't be taken lightly, we can live for over 7 years and need lots of room to live. Then of course there's all that food to pay for and vets bills when we're feeling poorly.

Wiggy & Scrumpy - NEED A HOME *Pigs of theWheek*
WE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING WITH OUR FOSTER PARENTS. PLEASE RING IN ADVANCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET US.***YOU CAN HELP FEED US ON EBAY - Search for Bobtails Wiggy & Scrumpy and you'll find us!*** We can't capture it in a photo, but we think this Abyssinian duo look like throwbacks from the 80s with big backcombed hair. It took us a while to work out which end was which when we took their photo as they look just like mops on legs. Wiggy is the dark coloured one and Scrumpy is white. They are both boys and are chatty. They are quite elderly piggies - aged around 4 years and are looking for a lovely retirement home with excellent amenities and preferably a stena stairlift, where they can live out their senior years together. Wiggy & Scrumpy are being sponsored this week by Hilary Smith. Thank you for your support.
