Guinea pigs at Windwhistle Warren

Post by sdf76 »

I apologise to all the guinea pig lovers on the forum that I didn't get time to photograph any of the lovely piggies that Alice has for rehoming at Windwhistle Warren http://www.windwhistlewarren.org.uk/index.html on the Gulliver thread (http://pledgeapound.net/forum/viewtopic ... &start=320 ) and will get some photos next time I am at Alice's for you. :)

I would guess about 20 -30 or so guinea pigs ? though I don't know for sure. On her website she only has photos of ones that have been waiting 14months to rehome who were from a group of 23.
( I didn't go to see them last time I went ). I'll see if I can find out?. (There's usually about 70-80 rabbits on her books too, I think? (though I know she's had 120 rabbits on occasion ) Numbers do vary depending on rehoming, though, and also on whether any turn out to be pregnant.

It is indeed- Alice is such a calm personality with so much to do. (*) I went there with my daughter bunlover once and we cleaned out 50 rabbits putting them all out for a run then getting them back in again and I was absolutely knackered!!!!!! #:-s There is a system to it, so the buns get optimum grazing time. Alice does have some volunteers, which I know she is so grateful to, but I don't know how often they're there and it's still a huge amount of physical work. I take my hat off to her- I really do! She gets big vet bills too -which is why every amount she gets from PaP is really appreciated. :)

If anyone can rehome a guinea pig (or rabbit) please have a look at Alice's site or contact her to see what's available.

In (part) answer to the question how many guinea pigs are at Windwhistle Warren- naturally the numbers vary according to rehoming but Alice has put on the facebook site that 35 guinea pigs were rehomed in the 2nd quarter.
she is looking for a home for Teddy and Chocolate piggies who have toe problems if anyone is interested?

Alice currently has 70 guinea pigs at Windwhistle Warren Rescue (Gloucestershire) http://www.windwhistlewarren.org.uk/adoptg.html -far too many to put photos on the website( I think there are only 4 pics on there)
so if anyone is thinking about having guinea pigs, or a partner for their guinea pig please consider Alice's rescue?
