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.

If you can't find a guinea pig that you think might fit into your life on this page, why not visit us, there are always lots of guinea pigs to cuddle and you might make a new friend.

 

Guinea Pigs for Adoption

Calenzana & Cambazola - WE ARE RESERVED See my You Tube video clip
Calenzana & Cambazola came to us as part of the Mitcham Rescue. Calenzana is a Himalayan and Cambazola is a tricolour. They are very timid but are settling in well. They are looking for a home together. They have now been reserved by their foster mum Alison and we hope they will bond with Buzz.

 

Buxton Blue & Idaho Goatster - AVAILABLE SOON See my You Tube video clip
WE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING WITH OUR FOSTER PARENTS.
These two boys came to us as part of the Mitcham Rescue. They are about a year old and are timid but calm. They are tri coloured abbys but Buxton Blue has more black. These two are a pair of polite boys who just go with the flow. After the state that they arrived in, we think they are just grateful for a clean hutch, food, water and some exercise in a run (well just the basics really). Buxton Blue & Idaho Goatster will be looking for a home together.

 

Humboldt Fog - AVAILABLE SOON See my You Tube video clip
I AM CURRENTLY LIVING WITH MY FOSTER PARENTS.
Humboldt Fog came to us as part of the Mitcham Rescue. He is tan and black. We estimate him to be about a year old. He is a very pensive piggie and here you can see him looking wistful while waiting for volunteer Will to take his photo. Humboldt Fog will ne neutered soon. He will then be looking for a home with a female.

 

Hipi Iti - AVAILABLE SOON See my You Tube video clip
I AM CURRENTLY LIVING WITH MY FOSTER PARENTS.
Hipi Iti came to us as part of the Mitcham Rescue. He is very nervous and unsure about being handled. He is about 3 years old. We were all a bit puzzled by Hipi Iti’s name. Our theme is ‘cheese’ and this is one none of us had heard of. We wondered if Jim had been drinking again and just chosen a random name from somewhere but he assured us that Hipi Iti means ‘Little sheep’ in Maori and apparently “is very much a cheese thank you very much. Now get back to work” – well that told us! Anyway, back to Hipi Iti – he will be neutered soon and will be looking for a home with a female.

 

Chanterelle - I AM IN MY NEW HOME
Chanterelle is a cream and agouti piggie who was born in February 2011. She obviously wanted us to get the stripe down her face in the photo. She arrived as part of a large rescue where a lady was breeding guinea pigs for a pet shop, but when the pet shop decided they didn’t need any more, she continued breeding anyway. Chanterelle is currently being treated for mites and she will not be available for rehoming until mid December. Chanterelle is looking for a home with one of her siblings, who you can see below, or with another female or a neutered male. Chanterelle has been reserved and we hope she will bond with ex-Bobtailer Tallulah. They have successfully bonded and are in their new home.

Midnight Disco - I AM IN MY NEW HOME Information Updated
Midnight Disco is a black, ginger and grey piggie who was born in April 2011. She is quite unique looking, as you can see in this photo – like some kind of dog we think! She arrived as part of a large rescue where a lady was breeding guinea pigs for a pet shop, but when the pet shop decided they didn’t need any more, she continued breeding anyway. Midnight Disco was pregnant when she arrived at the rescue and she has just given birth to Wimpole, who you can see further down the page. Midnight Disco has gone to live with Danna and Lyn.

Tiny Earthstar is currently being treated for a fungal infection and she will not be available for rehoming for a little while until this clears up. Tiny Earthstar has been reserved to go with her sister Willow Bracket. They have now gone to their new home.

Hedgehog Fungus is an agouti and ginger male who does actually look like a hedgehog, and Fly Agaric is ginger and white. They were born between January and April 2011. They arrived as part of a large rescue where a lady was breeding guinea pigs for a pet shop, but when the pet shop decided they didn’t need any more, she continued breeding anyway. They have now been neutered. They are looking for a home together. They have now been reserved subject to a home check and we hope they will pair with Boris (a girl).

 

Barometer Earthstar & Morel - WE NEED A HOME
Barometer Earthstar is a ginger and white longish haired piggie and he has been neutered. He was born between January and April 2011. Volunteer Nadine is adamant that Barometer Earthstar looks just like a tabby cat – well, we don’t know what sort of tabby cat she has been looking at, but we don’t see it - sorry Nadine. Morel is a smoother white and tan piggie who was born on 5th November 2011. Both piggies arrived as part of a large rescue where a lady was breeding guinea pigs for a pet shop, but when the pet shop decided they didn’t need any more, she continued breeding anyway. Both piggies are currently being treated for a fungal infection, but are due to finish their treatment shortly. They are a very sweet pair who look great together. Is this a classic caption competition picture or what?! These two will be looking for a home together.

 

Pringle - I NEED A HOME
Pringle is a smooth agouti female piggie with a white tuft on her head. She is a previous Bobtails piggie but sadly came back to us because she started fighting with her new partner. Pringle has a cataract in her right eye which volunteer ‘Little Sarah’ referred to as “really pretty and like a mother of pearl” – we think she has been getting into the Christmas spirit a little too early. We would like to rehome Pringle as a single house piggie as she loves people but doesn’t like other piggies quite so much.
