THISTLE CAVIES

158 Piggies rehomed in 2006. 112 Piggies rehomed in 2007.

We are a small self funded  non profit making,family run rescue based in  Scotland. At present we are caring for 67 piggies. Some of these we will be able to rehome and some will live out there lives with us either because they are too old to rehome or are in need of special care. Many of  the piggies that arrive at the rescue are in a very sad state and need a lot of care and attention. We will never turn away a piggy in need or put a piggy to sleep just because it needs a lot of care.

Tasha. Tasha is on the right of the bottom picture.As you can see both have healed really well.With the right care and feeding Guinea PIgs are usually very healthy little animals. Apart from Gorgeous Guineas Products  being used to treat the fungal the other single most important thing for these two were being removed from  sawdust bedding.	Mishka.              Here you see their pretty little faces, Mishka is on the left. These two piggies are very lucky as they have a new home to go to where they will be loved and cherished.As you can see Mishka had quite bad lesions on her back, these have healed really well with treatment and she is now a healthy happy little piggy as his her friend Tasha.

Guinea Pigs need rehoming for all sorts of reasons, sometimes they are just no longer wanted and sometimes very careing owners are unable to keep their much loved  piggies No matter what the reason, owners can be sure that their piggies will receive the very best care and if they are rehomed, will only go to homes where we know they will be loved and cared for.
