Bedding
Clean, dust-extracted and kind to lungs

Paper bedding or noodle mats are available on request — just let us know when you book and we'll have your piggies' preferred set-up ready for arrival.
Food
The diet they're used to
Hay, water, pellets, veggies
All guinea pigs have unlimited access to good-quality hay. Daily pellets and around 50g of fresh vegetables per piggy come as standard.
Special diets welcome
Sensitive tummies, prescription pellets, weight-management plans or fussy eaters — special diets can be accommodated by prior arrangement.
Observation & welfare
Eyes on, every day
We will observe your guinea pigs carefully throughout their stay. If we have any concerns, we will contact you or your nominated vet right away.
We are not a veterinary practice — we don't diagnose or treat illness. Our role is attentive daily care, calm handling and clear communication with you and your vet if anything changes.
