Teejay
Adult Guinea Pig
Hi all, I'm going away for a week in June, and I'm trying to find someone to care for my piggies while I'm away.
My parents (both in their 70s and a bit doddery, bless them!) are all lined up to take care of them, but I'm not 100% happy with that arrangement, cos I personally think that taking care of piggies properly is far more labour-intensive than they realise!
We're in the West Midlands, about 5 miles from Birmingham City Centre, but I have transport, so distance isn't really too much of a problem.
The boys currently live separately in a three-storey cage (Squeak has the top 2 levels and Pudding has the bottom level with a run attached for part of the day and overnight). The cage can be dismantled easily for transportation, so I can provide my own cage (and I would be happier doing so, to be honest).
I can provide my own hard feed and I can provide the bedding if necessary (they're currently on Megazorb and hay, but I'm also happy for them to be on fleece or vetbed).
Can anyone make any recommendations? Anything would be appreciated.
