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.

Bernard - I AM RESERVED
Bernard originally came to us with his brother Billy. Billy had some ongoing health problems and despite our very best care and fantastic support from our vet, Billy sadly passed away. This leaves the lovely Bernard who has now been neutered so that he can live with a female piggie or a very young male. Bernard has been reserved subject to pairing.

Taffeta, Gingham & Chintz - WE ARE RESERVED
This lovely trio of girls arrived via the RSPCA who removed them from an unpleasant situation. Taffeta is a black and white sheltie and looks like a mop and she is very chatty. Gingham is a ginger and white abby who has more white than ginger and Chintz is a ginger and white abby with more ginger than white. These three have been reserved subject to a home check.

Pluto - I AM IN MY NEW HOME
Pluto is a male white and brown sheltie born in June 2008. He asked that we make it know that he is not looking his best in this photo - we had so many to do this week and we just didn't have time or the camera battery length for him to call his hairdresser in to set his lovely locks before we did a second shot. We are sure it doesn’t matter but we had to humour him! He is neutered and will be ready for pairing with a female piggie from the end of February. He has paired with Fifi and he has now moved in with her.

Molly & Ginny - WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOME
Molly is a smooth ginger and white female. She is on the right of the photo and has more white on her than Ginny. Ginny is a lighter ginger and white sheltie cross female. Both girls were born around 2007. Volunteer Will was on form again this week when he announced that "guinea pigs usually have eyes on the sides of their heads like sidelights but only Ginny has sidelights - Molly has eyes on the front of her head like headlights". We all chortled a bit (otherwise Will gets upset) and then Jim decided he wanted a piece of the glory and started talking about windscreen wipers. At this point we all became very busy with our cleaning and sweeping because we all find it all a bit juvenile and, frankly, embarrassing. Please, somebody rehome these two piggies (or you could have Will and Jim if you wanted) so that we don’t have to go through this again! Molly & Ginny are looking for a home together. They have been successfully rehomed together.

Mark - I AM RESERVED

Roberta is a black and orange smooth girl and Peanut is a white and orange smooth girl. Both were born in March 2009. Volunteer Will was his usual observant self today when he said that one of them has a very pointed face but he couldn't remember which. Not very helpful really is it?! Roberta and Peanut have now been reserved subject to a home check.

Flora & Brumble - WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOME
Flora is a smooth black white & ginger female and Brumble is a smooth ginger and white female. They were born in December 2008.
