This page is in the process of being updated. Lots of photos to list of single non-desexed males, desexed and non-desexed male pairs, desexed male/female pairs, golden oldies males and females. Keep checking back as I hope to have all adoptables listed by the end of May.
PLEASE DO NOT ENQUIRE ABOUT ADOPTING FROM US UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO HOUSE YOUR GUINEA PIGS INSIDE, AND THE AREA IN WHICH YOU PLAN ON KEEPING THEM IS AIRCONDITIONED. WE HOUSE THE SHELTER PIGGIES IN AN AIR CONDITIONED SHED AND DURING THE HOT MONTHS THE AIRCON RUNS 24/7. SUMMERS ARE GETTING LONGER AND HOTTER AND IN QUEENSLAND WE CAN EXPECT TO NEED AIRCON FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH TO THE END OF APRIL. GUINEA PIGS ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT STROKE AND TO REMOVE THEM FROM A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT OF 20 TO 24 DEGREES TO TEMPERATURES OF 28 DEGREES OR MORE IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE AND WE WILL NOT PUT OUR RESCUE PIGGIES IN THIS SITUATION.
